bean soup @ high altitude

Submitted by Guest on February 2, 2008 - 13:05.

Why aren't you supposed to cook split peas or lentils in pressure cookers? I have a bean soup I would like to try, but worry about the split peas in the mix. We live at about 8000 ft. altitude, and I fix navy and white beans with success in it and love it. I would like to try this bean soup, but know the pressure cooker directions say not to put split peas or lentils. Is there an explanation for this and any way around it or another way to fix that at this altitude? Thanks for any suggestions.
