Cooking tips for lentils & beans

Soaked dried beans cook more evenly than unsoaked; canned work when short on time.
Don't salt beans at the start of cooking; add once they're nearly tender.
Lentils don't need soaking — red lentils cook in 15 minutes, green in 25-30.
Acidic ingredients (tomato, vinegar) slow bean softening; add after they're tender.
A bay leaf or a strip of kombu helps with digestibility.
