Lots of food can be cooked better when soaked for some time before cooking. This seems to reduce the cooking time considerable.
I usually soak beans (lima/red/black-eyed etc) overnight and rice for about an hour or 30 minutes for rice dishes. What are the things that you soak before cooking? |

Mama do you have a recipe for fried chicken made from marinating chicken in buttermilk?
Back to the original question do I soak before cooking. The only item that I can think of that I soak before cooking would be red beans that I use when I make red beans and rice. Now if marinating is considered soaking I marinate beef, chicken and pork especially if I am grilling the meat. I try to allow at least a couple of hours for marinade to soak into the meat before cooking. If I really plan ahead I will marinade the meat the night before. |

aeiou - I have posted buttermilk chicken recipes in the recipe forum - look under From Mama's Kitchen - there are at least 2 there that I know of.
The term soaking and the term marinating can mean the same thing to many people. For now - as long as something is setting in a liquid - I will refer to it as both - only because everyone has their own opinion of the terms. Take a look at the chicken recipes - I have tons more if needed. |
