How to 'cook' beans?!

RupayHalwa my beans were totally fine this time, thank you :) I made a yummy salad today with them.

Thank you Silver.

I made it only once with the first method but don't know where did I go wrong it was such a disaster! :( and it took my sooooooo much time I was really frustrated in the end :o

Any ideas on how to store cooked beans? Just putting them in the freezer would be fine? and specially if I'm gonna use them for salads?

Thanks everyone! :)
