Forgot to put the peas & beans in to soak last night ..

easy

So I've put them in this morning. Will they be usable if they soak for 6 hours rather than 8 -12 ?

It's Tesco broth mixture, and I'm planning to make a sausage casserole with it later.

What d'you think?

Broth mix doesn't need soaking.??

Edit to Add....when I do anything with broth mix, I add a handful to the pot as it goes in the oven. Never soaked it.

If you are using peas and beans on their own they will be ok with 6 hours.

If it has whole green peas in you'll need to soak it.

You can quick soak them by pouring boiling water over them rather than cold.

Well it says soak for 8-12 hours on the back of the pack .... http://www.tesco.com/superstore/xpi/2/xpi51063302.htm

Boil for 10 minutes and leave them in the hot water; should be good by teatime.

I do this all the time; we have chilli every Tuesday so you'd think I'd have learnt by now to soak the beans on a Monday.

I never soak a broth mix myself as the mix is usually made up of smaller lentils, peas and beans but I would put them in a stew or casserole that is cooked for 4 or 5 hours and they are always cooked well.

If it has bigger peas or beans in it, soaking for 6 hours and then cooking them will be fine.
