Soaking split peas?

I'm cooking a ham for dinner tonight and my OH has just informed me he would like pease pudding too. Normally when I make it I soak the peas overnight, would it be okay to just cook them straight from the packet or do they have to be soaked? :confused:

  • If I am short of time I put the peas in a large bowl with boiling water and neuk them in the microwave before using for soup or pease pud

    I never soak split peas - they can be cooked straight from the packet, and they don't even take that long to cook.

    I only soak split peas if I am going to do them in the slow cooker. They don't need soaking if cooked on the hob or in a pressure cooker.
