Q » How do you cook lentils so they don't turn mushy?
30 Oct, 2025
A » To cook lentils without them turning mushy, rinse them thoroughly and use a 3:1 water-to-lentil ratio. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, checking for doneness after 15 minutes. Avoid stirring frequently and adding acidic ingredients until lentils are tender. This method preserves their texture and prevents overcooking.
