One miscalculation could mean you'll have to wait a very long time for lunch or dinner.
It is no secret that peas take a long time to cook. That is why many housewives soak them overnight.
However, not all cooks realize one mistake that will lead to the opposite result. You will have to cook for a very long time.
The miscalculation is related to the use of hot water for soaking. It is not worth doing this, because the protein in the protective shell will begin to coagulate. As a result, the cooking time will increase many times.
Therefore, experienced cooks advise using cold water. In extreme cases, it is permissible to use liquid at room temperature.
If you prepare peas correctly, dishes made from them will be cooked 2-3 times faster.
For example, the usual menu can be diversified by bean cutlets, pea puree with fried bacon or cream soup with cream and processed cheese. Household members can also be surprised by pea casserole with minced meat.
