If you have an old fashioned ceramic bean pot put it into a cold oven or your pot could break.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment to let us know how to avoid breaking an old fashioned ceramic bean pot when we make the similar recipes :)

Soaked navy beans for eight hours and cooked them in a bean pot without preboiling. Used a half pound of bacon and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. It only cooked for 5 hours so I would check them for doneness by then.

What is the purpose of the baking soda?

It helps make the beans cook quicker.

Baking soda helps eliminate the gassiness beans cause

I've followed the recipe to a T but I'm finding it much too salty. Any tips to fix?
