  1. do you think it would be helpful to mention at least once the amount of beans you're using? I fully know how much water and salt and oil to use for what amount of beans?
    for something that looks like it was filmed in a restaurant, you should understand that not everyone buys stuff in little individual size packages, that many by dried goods in bulk

  2. I just purchased Healthy and Delicious Instant Pot by America's Test Kitchen. The directions don't make sense. All the pre-cook instructions are the same but the chart says to cook the chick peas for 1 minute and then do a natural release. The cook directions in the copy are totally incorrect. Says to turn off the instant pot when done and quick release (except for French green beans). Based on these inconsistent directions, I thought I'd turn to YouTube. I'll be trying Eric's time. Seems a lot more realistic! Looks like they need to make corrections in the next edition of the book. If you own it, don't follow the bean chart directions for any of the beans.

  3. He used 8 lb of water to cook 1 lb of raw chickpeas! They only absorb 1 lb of water, and can be cooked in 1 lb or less of water (only need to cover the soaked chickpeas). You may need to set the timer for 10 min instead of 6. Some of these recipes are just crazy, with no explanation given about the need for so much wastage.

  4. I tried this!!! OMG the chick peas was great and so fast!!!….As a vegan chick peas and beans are a staple. This and the red bean tutorial have allowed me to enjoy those beans so much more….keep them coming.I use some of your other techniques but I use egg replacers and other alternates for non vegan recipes. You guys are doing a wonderful job!!

  5. Great job on the presentation, Eric! You inspired me to snag some dried chickpeas today. I'll brine them overnight and cook them tomorrow. You made it look like it is: simple but tasty. And getting some bean cooking confidence has been a goal of mine. I look forward to your next video. Pay no attention to the nitpickers. Haters gonna hate, as they say.
