Prepare the peas for cooking. Before how to cook peas, it should be thoroughly washed, better under running water until the water stays clean and clear. As the peas cooked a long time, there are several ways to speed up its cooking. The first method is soaking.

It is best to soak the peas the night if you're going to cook porridge in the afternoon. Note that split peas (halves) soak faster.

The second method of accelerating the cooking of the peas - add oil to the water. If you have butter, you better add it, in this case the taste of the peas will only become brighter and richer. In the case where you have only the vegetable oil, add it. The taste of the peas will not change much, but it cooked much faster.
