Why add water when cooking frozen peas?

It creates a brief steam environment that quickly heats the peas without boiling them.

Can I use oil instead of butter?

Yes. Olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil works

How do I store leftovers?

Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Can I reheat the peas?

Reheat on the stovetop with a teaspoon of water or microwave in 20 second bursts.

How do I keep peas bright green?

Cook from frozen and avoid overcooking.
