Cookware & Supplies for Black Eyed Peas

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to make black eyed peas. The equipment that we need for today's video; first things first, pot with a lid. This is a five and a half quart pot with a nice lid. Five and a half quarts is probably pretty big for this. You could probably go with a four quart pot or five quart. Anything any bigger than five and half is going to be ridiculous so there is your five and a half quart. You want to make sure that it is something that can stand up to a fair amount of heat on the stove. You will have this simmering for about three or four hours or so. Also, got to have a knife for cutting stuff up so there's your knife. We are going to need a cutting board as well as you see right here. I am trying something different with my cutting boards, I am going with trying one of these new synthetic. It is a combination of like a poly resin and essentially it is almost paper. It is really really heavily powdered down wood. Interesting cutting surface. Usually I am a big fan of wood or bamboo but I am going to try one of these in a little to see what I think. Also, I've got everyones favorite, the red high heat silicone spatula so I am going to stir things up. I've also got a colander which you will need for this opening step. This is a big colander. A small colander works just as well. It just happens this is in the one that I've got. Of course, your towels. So towels in the case. It depends on how dirty you plan on getting so let's go on and start with our first step which will be inspecting the peas; it's a lot of fun. "
