that the red lentils cook too fast and soon become mush!

I agree with QuiltE, I find that red lentils cook very quickly. I add some towards the end when making a veg soup, and the thicken it up very nicely as they soften. I add seasoning at the end when all is cooked.

me too. i have to watch them close because I hate mushy lentils. I usually make my soup with rotel, celery, onions, bell peppers & v-8 juice. And salt.

My husband cooks lentils often and has half a dozen different containers in the pantry at any given time; it's been my experience that the older the lentil is (any color), the longer they take to cook. He likes to soak them over night, not sure of the theory, maybe that's just the way his Mom made them back home.
