ZACHIE: Used plates can stay in the sink for ever for all i care.
The pots? they can rot in the rain till the next time it crosses my mind to cook

for me as a man, eating the food after cooking is the most difficult of them.

I just explained the technique in detail. You have to be experienced in the process because it takes experience to use the flotation technique.

Yeah me too. That peeling of beans can take me hours to finish and I still havent figured out a faster way. I avoid cooking moin-moin cos of that.

some one shine a light on me. Abeg.
Re: What's Your Worst Cooking Chore?? by Nobody: 4:45pm On Mar 21, 2013
picking the dirt and bad bean seeds away from the good ones...so basically, it's separating the good from the bad.

that's what picking beans is.

I disagree because i'll have to wash the mortar and pestle afterwards. I would rather use my hands.

my uncle's wife has one fast way of doing hers. After beans soaks in water for some time..she takes out the beans and start pounding it with a pestle and mortar..very mildly so u don't pound it to pieces..u do it more like u're pressing it. Within few minutes, the bark is off..then u put it back in water and start rinsing out the peel from it. I've never tried it in our house anyway except in their house once.

Beans: Try using blender to pulse it few times, pares easily.

I blend okra too, I cut off the end then throw it in the food processor/ blender grin just add Maggi / locust / salt / stock and cook for 5mins done.
