MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Packet says cooking time of 4 mins in boiling water. So bring water to the boil and chuck them all in - however, now the water has gone off the boil so do I cook for 4 mins from when the peas hit the pan or wait for the water to return to the boil and then cook for 4 mins?
if you cook each pea in it's own pan then the water doesn't go off the boil. Time consuming but worthwhile, ime.
alternatively, hook one out the pan with a spoon and try it for taste/texture and when they're how you like them then they're done.
What is the average circumference of each pea? Are we talking big biffa value peas, or nice petit pois - makes a big difference when you're trying to get them spot on.
What are you doing eating peas at 9am.
boil the kettle, pour your portion of peas into a mug, pour on freshly boiled water, leave in mug until ready to eat, serve.
Add cheese innit
Put frozen peas in a bowl with some water, throw in micro... zap... quick stir... zap again... eat.
Or just give 'em to the kids frozen as a snack... all kids like munching on an ice cube right?
The rule is - if it grows above the ground then put it into boiling water. Anything from below ground, boil it in the water from cold.

My wife taught a kid who's family called an ambulance when he swallowed a frozen pea.
they had 'issues'...
pan o fboiling water throwin peas let come to the boil again and they're ready anymore is too much.
What philconsequence said.
I usually just follow this simple formula: cooking time = 4 minutes + ( ambient temperature ) / 10 + (current altitude above sea level in feet) / 1000 * 1 minutes + ( average density of pea ) * 1.3 + (number of peas ) + 1 - speed of light from a bulb on a conveyor belt spinning at the speed of light in the opposite direction

That's an easy one. Throw a kettle of boiling water down behind it. Der.
With philconsequence on this, mug or indeed anything that will hold several peas and freshly boiled water simultaneously. If you want gourmet peas, leave the peas in the rapidly cooling water until water is tepid. Empty water (while retaining peas). Add more hot water. BUt that's only for very special occasions.
Are you actually eating the whole bag of peas??
Just the contents, I expect.
The rule is - if it grows above the ground then put it into boiling water. Anything from below ground, boil it in the water from cold.
Tried this. My bananas and peanuts tasted just auful.
.
Why not defrost, then add to boiling water? The cooling effect on the water will be less from room temp peas than from frozen ones.
Or just use a really massive pan of water, the effect of a few peas in several gallons of boiling water will be negligable (sp?)
We just put a weeks supply in the bath on bathnight.
Take them out after the whole family has bathed,
and you've got 7 days supply of easy cheesy peas.
Coincidentally,
The boiled egg thread contained a link [url= http://www.ehow.com/how_5874002_boil-eggs-baking-soda.html ]here[/url] which gives this advice for eggs:
Leave the eggs in the hot water for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not time the eggs until the water starts boiling.
Peas are like eggs, right?
