I am now attempting to cook beans with the following recipe.

• 1 lb. dry black beans, lightly rinsed and drained, not soaked or boiled
• 1 tsp cumin
• 4 tbsp minced garlic
• salt
• 1 small can diced jalapenos
• 1 can diced salsa style tomatoes
• 6 c hot water

Put all in large pot. Crank to 7 until boiling, then down to 3 to simmer for 2 hours. See if food results.

EDIT: I feel like I put in too much water. :C

EDIT 2: Actually, most of the water simmers off.
