• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Oh, that sounds good!

I boiled my chickpeas yesterday. Put a couple of portions in the freezer and now I gotta decide what to make with them....
(Chickpeas freeze very well, so I always boil a big batch)

I do this all the time, mostly because when I make a recipe that calls for any sort of bean, I have a load of dried ones in my garage pantry.
I'll put a double batch in the Instant Pot® aka pressure cooker, use what I need and freeze the leftovers for another time. Very cost effective as well. 1 pound of dried beans equals 4 cans, the price comparison: 4 cans @ 86¢ per vs. 1 pound of dried @ $1.28

Agree on cost effective. I've got canned for emergencies but pretty much always cook from dried and have around a dozen varieties to choose from. 👍
