Soak your pinto beans overnight in cold water and a little salt. Then wash them in a strainer and sort through them for bad beans. Put them in a crock pot or Dutch oven with more salt, enough water to cover them and, if desired, a piece of ham or soup bone for flavor. Beans cooked slowly for a couple of hours will be very good.
