It takes some practice to get the amount of baking soda and cook time down for each bean, as it’s slightly different, but if I over cook the beans, I just make a blended bean dish instead of a whole one.
This trick DOESN’T work for hummus, don’t bother. If you’re making hummus, soak your chickpeas overnight (6-8 hrs, longer is okay as long as they don’t sprout) instead. It’s hard to nail the texture otherwise.

Someone needs to make a thread on how to cook dry beans. I’d do it but I don’t have the knowhow.
