If you cook bagged pinto beans, do you ever soak them overnight, or do you just toss them in and boil them on high the lazy way?

I always try to make sure that I do the overnight method but if I forget, then I cook them the lazy way.

I decide what to cook at the last minute so if it were going to be pinto beans..in the pot they go and boil away..I usually throw in a ham bone too.

I soak 'em overnight.

The overnight soak is to rehydrate the bean. That way it'll cook faster and use less energy. The 'lazy way' it's going to take longer to cook. And if you cook them on high you're more likely to boil off the water, putting more steam into your kitchen and burn the beans on the bottom of the pan.
