wouldn't the dry peas be too hard for such a short cooking time? When I made pea soup several months ago I took some to my daughter. She asked her 5 yr.old grandson if he wanted some of Grammy's pea soup. The look on his face was hilarious! "pee" soup!!!!

Hi there! The peas will cook in an hour. Just make sure to follow the directions and keep t them covered. Depending on the stove being used, you may have to cook them a few minutes longer. I hope that helps! :D
