Sure, any pot will do. A bean pot is heavy ceramic. I also like enameled cast iron pots, or just straight cast iron. A heavy, lidded pot avoids excess evaporation. You might have to peek more often with a lighter pot. The thing to avoid is the water level dropping below the beans. The beans will quickly dry out and become hard and unappealing. Other than that, its really full proof. Enjoy
