This was my first time using dried beans, so I'm glad it turned out a success. This was good, but a little lacking in flavor. I considered using 6 cups stock instead of water, and next time, I think I will. I cooked on high for 4 hours and then it was on warm for an additional hour, but I would have liked the beans just a tiny bit softer, so next time I will shoot for 5 hours on high.
