As crisgal says is is essential to rapidly boil dried red kidneys for at least 10 minutes otherwise you will make yourself ill.
You should soak them overnight. Rinse and drain. Put in fresh water. Boil rapidly for at least 10 minutes. Then simmer until soft
Tinned kidney beans are a much easier option
