Blanch Sugar Snap Peas – That’s How it Works

How to properly blanch snow peas

Blanch sugar snap peas like any other vegetable. The correct blanching time is important so that the pods do not become too soft.

• Place the washed and trimmed snow peas in a pot of boiling water to blanch.
• Tip for almost everything you blanch: add some ascorbic acid to the cooking water to keep the pods their natural color even better.
• The snow peas should simmer for about three minutes before removing them from the cooking water with a slotted spoon.
• Immediately after the simmering process, place the snow peas in a bowl of ice-cold water to pause the cooking process. It is important that you have enough ice cubes or cold packs in the water. The hot vegetables quickly melt the ice.
• The cooling pads are not endangered by the heat. They also don’t give off any taste of their own.
• Nevertheless, we recommend that you thoroughly clean the batteries after purchase and before use. You can then dry the snow peas with kitchen paper and use them further. You can fry them or freeze them.
