PSA: My $1.50 bag of dried chickpeas turned into a kitchen flood
I decided to try cooking a huge batch from scratch to save money, but I forgot they expand a ton. I put two cups of dried ones in my regular pot with water, went to watch a show, and came back to find foam and water all over my stovetop in my apartment. Learned you need a much bigger pot and to watch them close at the start. Anyone have a good trick to stop the boil-over mess?

Disagree about needing a bigger pot, just turn the heat down right after it boils. Wyatt_shah85's lentil mess probably happened from too high heat, not the pot size. Why make more dishes when you can just watch the stove for two minutes?

Totally feel that. I once made a lentil volcano that coated my entire stove top in green foam.
