I get the stuff from Mexican markets the price is a fraction of what they charge on line from the foo foo sites.

I soak it for 12 hours drain off water and have it on low for the rest of the day at just a wee simmer close to another 8 hours or so however long it takes to start splitting open.
At least that is the way I like it.

On a side note I just picked up 6 ounces of what the Mexican folks call CAL AKA calcium hydroxide / slacked lime / pickling lime.
10 limes and a bag of achiote condimentado for under 5 dollars at the market.
The CAL is to make my own hominy/pozole from dried corn.
Project for this weekend.
