The tablets are bicarbonate of soda and can be used for cleaning fridges / microwaves / freezers. Dissolve them in a little hot water and use to wipe down, or even leave them in the fridge solid to absorb smells. I don't use them in peas myself - or any veg - as the bicarb destroys the Vitamin C. I find those marrowfats cook fine anyway, they just need an overnight soak - and tough cabbage will soften nciely if you steam rather than boil it!
