Yesterday we told you about a great source for beautiful clay pots, and some of you wondered what you would cook in such pots.

But then, some of you also frequently email us and ask us how to cook them! Here’s one such email, from reader Jeff in Columbus, and a description of the absolutely dead easy, foolproof way we’ve been cooking our beans lately.
