I hear ya! I’m afraid of soaking them overnight because I’ll inevitably forget about them and end up with a bowl of moldy chickpeas..... ::body shiver::
My attempts at cooking chickpeas, lentils and dried beans have always ended in catastrophe. However Jenna is so pretty and her voice so soothing that I'm ready to face the trauma and give it another shot.
Hi Sisi you're amazing!!! Thanq so much for this useful video. Today mornin i gotta scold from my motherinlaw because of not soaking chickpeas. Most important festival for indians.. So scrolling many youtube videos i got yours. Thank god chickpeas came well. But the quite common thing is again gotta scold from my motherinlaw. Youre wasting the Gas. Anyway i learned this process am happy with that.!!!😊
Besides your facial beauty I guess your manner of presentation was very attractive. You were full of enthusiasm, charm and have an excellent smile and I loved your accent. I was looking for a proper way to boil chickpeas for a salad and I got it in your video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! Having recently gone vegan, I'm always on the hunt for new things to cook. Chickpeas are my new obsession! I love making them into hummus, eating like regular beans and mixing with brown rice. But, anyway. Going to check out some of your other vegan videos and turned on notifications for future videos! Can't wait to see more.
my favorite is the Channa Masala.........i cook a bit differently.....i soak the dried chickpeas overnight and there after cook the chickpeas in a pressure cooker....takes just 15 minutes.....thanks for the video. Cheers
+Googlie Googlinkty YES! A pressure cooker is much quicker - I've never used one but I'll add that info to the text. Thank you! Do you have a fav Channa Masala recipe?
Thanks for including the slow cooker method to this video. Love my slow cooker, especially when it comes to legumes. My family has learned to love them too....
Here I am .. huuhhh... just a man oww mannnn... forgot to soak my stone hardened beanssss.... mmmaann... mannn.. for my wife was trying to make beans soup as it's our uzbek traditional food.. but not a joke but half and hour... boiling... still hard ... finally am here... changed the water twice and seems like it is done... bon appetitooo😆💋❤❤❤thank you soo soo much^^
@@CookingCompanionTV so the procedure was.. some cut onion on frying oil.. on top a half spoon salt /as it's my style/ half sliced potatoes. . Chunks of meat and a bit cow skin fat... then fried as they turn their color different. . Then the most amazing part happens as i add a spoon of a tomato pasta/ ketchup and same amount mayo.. let it fry at medium lev gas.. then soaked beans but again huuuuhhhh... beansss... then after a time mixing chopped garlic and sliced peppers then water... it shud have a bit sour taste and thick soup lol.. but again be rrrrreally careful for the beans. . Thank you again fot ur reply😊
I love that I can skip the soaking step with the slow cooker. It's such a lengthy process I just buy canned sometimes. One small bag of dried chickpeas comes out to be about six cans so it's worth it to try the slow cooker method.
I have just purchased my first dried chickpeas, so your video was a huge help! I can't wait to try it out. Question: Once they are cooked, how long do they stay fresh in the refrigerator?
OMG watched your video this morning - I am in Canada and I have already passed along your video to my sister in Spain - I got a new secret - woo hoo - you can cook chick peas from dry in slow cooker - it has worked beautifully - can't stop taste testing. this was news to me! is it safe to assume it might work with beans too or too much to hope for - wow and wow and thanks - so glad I stumbled on your video. I did wonder about putting the salt in too early as you had mentioned in another part not to salt so waited until it was bubbling before adding.
+crossanbrown thank you and welcome! YES you can use the slow cooker for beans! Always use the low setting. Oddly, I found info on salting for cooking beans but not when I specifically looked up chickpeas. You were wise to pick up on that and salt later in the process!
Hey Ron! I think you should use cooked beans, since canned beans are cooked and ready to eat. The recipe will have accounted for that. The dried beans won’t expand that much when they cook, but to be safe, I’d cook one cup of fried beans for each cup of canned beans. Then measure out what you need and use leftovers in a salad or freeze them.
I bought lentils, chick peas, and rice in bulk, none had directions for how much water, I cooked them all in one pot and kept adding more and more and more water!
Hi Jenna - I'm trying to cut added salt and oil out of my plant-based diet. Is there a reason for adding them to the slow cooker method other than just the taste?
Adding the salt at the end can help the beans soften, but yes, you can skip the salt and oil. You might need to cook them a little longer, so just check them and keep cooking until you like their consistency.
Hi Jenna. I've completed all your steps to cook the dried chickpeas for immediate use, only problem is that they taste bitter. Thank you for the video. Any additional help would be appreciated!
+david king Hmmm...if you used olive oil or seasonings in the cooking process, they could have been rancid. It's possible the chickpeas themselves aren't good any more. I've yet to experience the bitterness & I can't find anything in my resources to address that! Maybe someone else can contribute to a solution, but I don't have a definitive answer.
Liked the video but I think I can wait for another day lol Wanted to eat them in like 15 minutes but even quick method is around 2 hours -_- Overnight soaking is good then :)
Not cannellini beans - apparently there’s too much lectin in them and that can cause sickness but Great Northern beans can be - not sure if it’s the same length of time though
I've recently adopted eating more fibre/ protein based plant food.....chick peas as one of the substitutes in replacing red meat and chicken. I still consume fish and other plant food to satisfy my daily intake of healthy nutrients.
Jenna, I have a bag of dried chickpeas that I bought a couple of months ago because I'd been buying canned ones with no sodium to feed mainly to my dogs as healthy treats and the cans cost over 2 dollars each! But I love chickpeas too! It's just that I work all the time and never get around to soaking them overnight, let alone cooking them afterward. Honestly I wasn't sure how to go about it. But then I saw your video and the slow-cooker method so I have a question. Is a crock pot a slow-cooker and would that work? Given my usual time frame the slow-cooker method would work best for me but all I've got is a crock pot. I know I could try it out without asking or typing this but I just want to be sure of what I'm doing! There's no time to waste in my world. Take care and thanks for posting the video, Rolland B. Heiss
Wow I just finished them I boiled them with a bay leaf and sea salt...and there grrreeeaaat...thanks alot...do you recommend any other seasonings...I know its late...whenever you can reply
@@robjnva2471 great question! for Thai recipes or most things with coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves or even lemongrass would be good. A quartered onion for other things, maybe a shallot….
Creamy, with just a little bite. They shouldn't fall apart when stirred, but if you bite one and it breaks into chunks rather than a soft mush, they aren't done. Of course, some people like their beans al dente and some people like them very soft. So, it's really up to your preference.
Ha, yeah. In an atmosphere where it’s so easy to be negative, it’s quite refreshing to see some positivity being spread. Compliments are rare little gems; I’m grateful to each of them.
I soaked one cup for 12 hours, took 10 hours in the slow cooker on high. What a waste of time. I'll be honest, they could use a little more cooking. I'm done trying with these beans. Thought I'd get a better answer from this video, but they just take too long.
That’s a curious question. Never thought about it, but I wonder if it has something to do with cooking them low and slow in the slow cooker (6-8 hours) versus less than 2 hours on stovetop.
If beans bloat from water, you don't have double, you have big beans. If you start with a cup of beans, you end-up with a cup of beans even if they bloat up. That's so unintelligent.
The concept of a change in volume is what changes how many beans you can fit in a cup. When they are dry, they take up less space so more of them can fit in a cup. When they absorb water and get bigger, they take up more space, so fewer of them can fit in a cup. That’s why cooked beans will measure more than dried ones.
i watch this video like once every 2 weeks when i cook chick peas🤣
+marlonizzle 2000 that's a huge compliment - thank you! What are you making with your chickpeas??
Jenna G Edwards today i made a sweet potatoe chickpea curry.someday i will remember your directions by heart😄😁

Dried chickpeas gave me nightmares. Just because of the long soaking time! Tried this method and it worked!
♥️👨🍳🍳
Eager cook from Chicago
I hear ya! I’m afraid of soaking them overnight because I’ll inevitably forget about them and end up with a bowl of moldy chickpeas..... ::body shiver::
@@CookingCompanionTV Oh yes! Those memories haunt me and the smell *gasp* No overnight soaking during hot summer months.
😆
When you come to learn how to cook Chickpeas but fall in love!

congrats! a pressure cooker definitely makes it faster!
Thank you - very clear and helpful
Thanks alot , Tried your method and they cooked Perfectly :)
+Muhammad Haris awesome!!
Good one, thanks for the share.
This worked. Thank you very much.

Thanks. 4x water, simmer 1 hour, freeze. Got it.

+LorinaGalen congrats!! They'll stay fresh about 5 days. But a few months in the freezer.

Happy to have helped!
this helped simple and to the point
+Aaron Grant thanks for that - it's exactly what I'm going for
Time to try cooking all my beans in the slow cooker
I’m cooking these as we speak lol.. I’m doing chicken carrots onions and cabbage.. I pray it’s good
How’d it turn out?
It turned out good.. I shoulda just used half the bag of chick peas lol
Have you try to put one tea spoon of backing soda? It's magic!! It's reduce the soaking up to half 😊
Or cook it like the video and reduce the time to 90 minutes!
Thanks much.
I bought lentils, chick peas, and rice in bulk, none had directions for how much water, I cooked them all in one pot and kept adding more and more and more water!
Wow! How did that turn out? I can see it working out for chickpeas and lentils together.
Thanks Jenna
No one tells you that the smell is intense.... omw but they come out fluffy and soft... hummus in the making
Ha! Yes, I forgot about the smell
Super helpful!! Thank you :)
You are quite welcome!
Use a pressure cooker after soaking chick peas for three hrs in hot water, add a pinch of baking soda when pressure cooking for 15 to twenty mins

Overnight soaking is good then :)
damn i have to wait an 2 hours to eat them... i want them now!! why cant the cooking process be simpler -_-
Beans are jerks like that.
Do you have a video about lentils? That'd be cool.
Not a straight instructional like this one but several videos including lentils
Will the same method (slow cooker) work for dried cannellini beans or great Northen beans?
Not cannellini beans - apparently there’s too much lectin in them and that can cause sickness but Great Northern beans can be - not sure if it’s the same length of time though
Thank you

Do you remove the skin from the chickpeas after soaking them overnight?

Hey Rolland, yes a crockpot is a slow cooker! As long as it can give you the same heat settings and timing options, you’re good to go!
thumps up for you.

+sam prince yes, it does!
+Jenna G Edwards thanks Jenna .. my fava beans are being soaked :p
thankyou so much it helped alottt!

Do you cover the pot when boiling them for 5 minutes
Not necessary

@@CookingCompanionTV Thank you. I cooked them in the crock pot on low from 10-6pm they are not soft on the inside still a little crunchy and dry.
That sounds like they aren’t done yet.
why did you air quote for firmer? they are firmer ...
I was probably just looking for something to do with my hands. But I really don’t remember.
And btw. A summary of all comments below:
“She hot”
Ha, yeah. In an atmosphere where it’s so easy to be negative, it’s quite refreshing to see some positivity being spread. Compliments are rare little gems; I’m grateful to each of them.
how long do you freeze them?
They should be good for up to 6 months. And that’s really more about texture integrity than freshness.
🙌🙌
I enjoy you.

thank you \>.
What if i use pressure cooker to cook dried chickpeas?? Is it going to harm nutritional value..??
+Nikhil Suvare not at all!
Jenna Edwards it's just a doubt but I'm gonna try your way it's easy thanks.. jenna..
+Nikhil Suvare one of the first comments on this video was from a viewer who uses his pressure cooker.
Jenna Edwards I read that comment just now.. that chana masala guy.. thanks by the way.
bunch of water?
And if you have gout don't eat foods from a can!
I soaked one cup for 12 hours, took 10 hours in the slow cooker on high. What a waste of time. I'll be honest, they could use a little more cooking. I'm done trying with these beans. Thought I'd get a better answer from this video, but they just take too long.
Just to watch and hear you I cook chick peas
AND save a can! :D
+Jessica Brodie LOTS of cans!
I found that soaking beans they loose a lot of taste, for me they taste no flavor at all

didn't forget...just don't have one so I don't know how to advise on it.
why don't you have to soak the chickpeas if using a crock pot?

Doesn't boiling them kill the nutrition
::shrug:: I’ve never sent the beans to a lab for testing.
@@CookingCompanionTV I would just assume boiling them especially for that long would kill them
