Re: Dry BLACK-EYED PEAS...SOAK OR NOT?

I've seen a variety of recipes online that say to soak the peas up to 6 hours or overnight - and I've seen recipes that didn't say soak the 'dry' peas at all.  Any tips on this, friends?  Thank you in advance.


I soak any type of peas or beans for several hours if I remember. If I don't i cook it in a pressure cooker a little longer and that takes care of it.

I never soak them. Neither did my mom or grandmother.  No real benefits in soaking except that soaking does somewhat reduce cooking time.
