It is not recommended to put peas into a pot for cooking without pre-soaking, as they will remain hard.
It is also worth considering that legumes without proper pre-treatment will put too much strain on the digestive organs, creating noticeable discomfort.
Therefore, experienced housewives always try to put the product in water overnight. But this is a very lengthy procedure, which, if possible, would be desirable to speed up.
How to soak peas properly so that they cook quickly
Usually cold water is used. Some use hot liquid. But both methods do not allow to significantly influence the cooking time.
Therefore, it is worth remembering one simple trick.
To do this, you will need to pour just one spoon of soda into a container with water of any temperature. The peas should remain in such a liquid for only 60 minutes.
After this, the legumes will boil very quickly to the state of puree.
Some housewives do without preliminary processing at all: they wash the product and add soda during the cooking process. This method shows quite good results.
