If you use Smoke turkey do you cook it first and cook everything together in a separate pot? anyone can answer that is a good cook!

Bre G commented on 07 Nov 2015

OK thank you

chriscook4u2 commented on 07 Nov 2015

Cook everything in one pot at one time.

Simone Williams commented on 28 Sep 2015

How do you keep the peas from absorbing all the water, when you go to reheat it the next day? Everytime I make them I always have that problem.

Simone Williams commented on 28 Sep 2015

Ok..thank you!

chriscook4u2 commented on 28 Sep 2015

When you reheat you do need to add a small amount of water. However, the trick to leftover peas & bean reheating is very, very low heat or microwaving to avoid water.

OMG-best video yet for black eyed peas. That soup mix must help w/the gravey. Thanks Chris for making my meal a 10 instead of a zero.

chriscook4u2 commented on 09 Aug 2015

The Lipton soup mix adds to the favor. I almost ate them all, without sharing. Lol. They were delicious. Thanks for you funny comments. God Bless.

Heather Jordan commented on 17 Jul 2015

Okay... Since you shared your onion soup mix, I will share mine. Ranch Hidden Valley Ranch Dip. I wish I can share my fried chicken recipe with you. Oh... I just did. Lol... and cayanne pepper with pepper, that's it. Thank you Chris.

John Texas commented on 05 Jul 2015

Good recipe! But it's Camellia brand beans, like the Camellia flower. NOT Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles, Duchess of Cornwall. I've got some fresh peas in my icebox, you motivated me to cook them right now!

John Texas commented on 07 Jul 2015

+Foods101withDeronda I did just what I said I would, pretty girl. I used bacon strips, two white onions, and those fresh peas. Overnight in the slow cooker. Two meals today and a quart Mason jar for leftovers. Our Lord is so good to us!

Foods101withDeronda commented on 07 Jul 2015

+John Texas I'm honored...John!! Bunches of thanks for the Camellia brand bean knowledge!! Now get cookin!! ENJOY!! -Deronda :)

Jazmine Jones commented on 27 Jan 2015

what did you season your meat with? or is that the name of the meat... seasoned meat?

Foods101withDeronda commented on 28 Jan 2015

Hi Jazmine, To answer your question...I use Italian seasoned sausage to flavor Black Eyed Peas!! Although, any seasoned meat will work! ENJOY!! -Deronda :)

Neal Sand commented on 30 Dec 2014

Welcome & bunches of thanks...Neal. Great to meet & get to know you at DFW!! I don't think you'll be disappointed with these homemade Black Eyed Peas!! Wishing you all the best in the NEW YEAR!! -Deronda :)

aka gecko commented on 29 Dec 2014

Great stovetop recipe, and I am abandoning my crock-pot way of making them, however. Even though I had one 1lb bag of peas, and added 8 cups of water (followed directions essentially, lol), I had to vent the lid of my pot because the condensation I thought was adding more water to it, is that right?

Foods101withDeronda commented on 30 Dec 2014

Hi Aka, Bunches of thanks & I'm not sure what you mean by "followed directions essentially". Measuring out the correct amount of ingredients (including water) for this recipe has always created the perfect pot of Black Eyed Peas for me. Leaving the lid tightly attached to the rim of the pot, during simmering, is important so that the dried Peas can absorb liquid & flavors as they cook. If the lid is vented during cooking time the Black Eyed Peas can become too dry...due to water vapor loss!! Wishing you all the best in the NEW YEAR!! ENJOY!! -Deronda :)

countrydude commented on 28 Dec 2014

Happy New Year to you and if you will help with some seasoning suggestions for canned peas, we can share the good luck. Dude takes short cuts?

Foods101withDeronda commented on 29 Dec 2014

Fresh Black Eyed Peas are BEST...Dude!! If you must use canned...season with sauteed minced onion & garlic!! Wishing you all the best in the NEW YEAR!! -Deronda :)

TIM W commented on 28 Dec 2014

All I have to say is too much Salt my brotha... The Chicken Broth has salt, and when you add the Ham Hocks they have salt, bouillon cubes have salt too. To much salt!!! Try it with Smoked Turkey next time and see if you like it that way. Just sayin'... No shade to you.

PhillyBoyJayCooKiNgShow commented on 05 Oct 2015

+SUGARKISSES1000 It's not too much salt... it actually comes out under seasoned sometimes to most people but if you like blain food, that's fine

Tremeka Alexander commented on 15 Sep 2015

+Monuette Burrell taste good too.

Mercy Roberts commented on 11 Aug 2015

Your nails though!!!

bepos1luv ok commented on 10 Nov 2015

+Mercy Roberts I"m beginning to think its his "signature look" because as a cook you should know that's not good sanitation practice. Also as many comments from the reviewers about it, one would stand to be corrected. No shade.

just learned, & tested use a pressure cooker, , wash-rinse, optional- soak for 15-30 min-max. rinse, pressure cook for about 6 minutes to 8 minutes max. , rinse-,optional, season eat, optional-simmer in pot for maybe 2 minutes with seasoning?, . any extra cooking turns them to 'mush' like dogfood, regards,

MrAwesomeLuis commented on 09 Apr 2013
