How to Cook Dried Chickpeas Perfectly

There are three simple methods for cooking chickpeas. The first two make use of the stove and the third uses a slow cooker. We use all three methods in our kitchen and the one we choose will usually depend on timing. The long soak allows you to get most of the prep time done overnight. The quick soak allows you to start with dried beans and finish with cooked in about 3 hours and the slow cooker is completely hands-off. If you use the slow cooker method, there is no need to soak the dried beans.

The water from chickpeas is known as aquafaba and is an excellent substitute for egg whites. You can use aquafaba to make ice-cream, cream, meringues, frosting, mayonnaise etc DON'T throw out the water! Excellent tips & tricks on YT.

I agree with earlier comment. So manual YouTubers love to hear themselves talk. This 2:21 video would be a stretched to 15 minutes by many others. Great information in a clear concise presentation. Thank you!

What I like about inspired taste is they keep it short and simple. They have really figured it out that other cooking sites are bogged down in bad presentation and useless detail that drags out the video to much longer than people have time for. Great model and I use their videos more than any other because short abd simple.

Thanks for the simple instructions. Now that I have heart issues Im looking into methods like this rather than canned since I want to control sodium, and this is the very best option.

thanks so much for this recipe!! I bought this beans and cooked for 7 hours, then eat something else because I couldn't wait anymore, and start cooking the next day for 2 hours, and at the end I couldn't eat it because it was too strong, so now I see this video am so happy !!!

SO helpful to know that you can do a quick soak. Did not know this was possible and the long soaking time has always put me off using dried chick peas. Now I am keen to use them! Great recipes and really clear video style. Thanks!

Lots of love to you both.

Thank you for your video! I've been buying them in a can for months, finally buy a bag of dried chickpeas & I had no clue how to prepare them! I have some soaking in frig tonight & can't wait to see how they turn out tomorrow after I cook them. I'm really excited to see how they grow in volume & compare price per serving of what I've been buying in a can! I was buying organic canned beans, but these bagged ones are not labeled organic but I'm hoping since I soak & rinse them that pesticides & herbacides will come off if any present.

You can also get the shells off. It's really easy and makes hummus much smoother also great for getting extra flavor infusion and easier to digest. Good video easy and simple.
