In what water and for how long should peas be soaked to cook: not every housewife will answer correctly

To make peas cook faster, they are soaked in water for a certain amount of time.

Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication Belnovosti, a cook and fourth-class baker, spoke about the nuances of soaking peas.

In what water and for how long do you soak peas?

Before soaking, the peas must be sorted and washed thoroughly (the water should become clear).

You can soak them in either cold or hot water. In cold water, soak the peas for 5-6 hours, ideally overnight.

If the peas are poured with boiling water, they need to be soaked for one and a half to two hours.

If the peas are split, soaking time is much shorter. Split peas only need to be soaked in boiling water for half an hour.
