Yes, cooking dried beans usually takes several hours on the stovetop. I generally use canned for convenience. I believe that you are not supposed to salt the water for conventional cooking until the last 30 minutes or something like that. I think that beans can also be cooked in a pressure cooker to reduce the time.
