Best way to cook tinned peas

Randomface74 · 16 Jul 2011 at 10:34

OK, bit of a debate for you guys to clear up..

When cooking garden peas from a can, do you:

A. Cook the peas in just the liquid from the can
B. Also add water
C. Discard the liquid and use only water
D. Something else

Edit: I do C btw.

Full contents plus a bit of water to top up and simmer.

Empty tin in pan and simmer, all the flavours in the juice then use juice in gravy! Frozen are better though.

Microwave.

Or put the tin in the oven with the roast or toad in the hole etc.

Only use tinned peas for curry. Even then I'd rather frozen. They're just not nice.

but if i have to, microwave them in a bowl.

You can buy peas not in a can? *equally confused*

You can buy pretty much everything in a can these days... what a marvellous age we live in, eh?
