Presoak To save money

Postby Vehlijanta » 28 Apr 2023, 01:21

You can save a lot of time, cooking gas, electricity if you presoak your eatables like Chick peas, Kidney beans, white or Green peas as it'll help it soften down and even the frozen ones will taste like fresh.

I soak my beans for 12 hours before I cook it. By that time, it is almost half soft.

This is a common practice for people that eat beans. Some say that you should add things like salt to make tor soft quicker.

I have nw found a formula for regularly eating beans. I avoided eating beans because it used to waste gas.

Cooking gas is very expensive now. So many people including I soak beans overnight so that we can be done cooking in 20 mins than 2 hours of burning gas.

I actually used this technique to cook beans on Sunday. Soaked for 16 hours and it took just 29 minutes for the beans to be done against 1 and a half hour.

What kind of meat is hard to cook? Pre soaking really works for hard to cook grains. They drain gas and soaking them in water for a while pre softens them.

You reduce the cooking time by more than half when you presoaked food for some considerable time before cooking.

And you quench the hunger quickly too. It is a good measure for any food in the pea family because they are always hard and waste lots of gas.

Water soften anything that is hard when it is soaked inside it for sometime. Soaking food is an important technique to cook hard food faster and save cost.
