Found a shortcut for drying beans that actually saved me 3 hours last weekend

I always thought you had to soak dried beans overnight then boil them for hours... but I tried that quick soak method where you boil them for 2 minutes then let them sit for an hour. Worked perfect for my chili. No more planning a day ahead. Has anyone else tried this with different bean types?

...and now I'm wondering if that would work with dried chickpeas because I tried making hummus last week and forgot to soak them, ended up ordering pizza instead.

24 hour soak does the trick, just tried it last Tuesday.
