Why do you have to soak or boil chickpeas before cooking in an IP?
cindyleigh:
Can't the Instant Pot do both?
Why do you soak beans prior to cooking in general?
Kumbaya:
I thought it was to re-hydrate them so you're not cooking little rocks.

It is partially to help speed up the process of them cooking and help break down enzymes. Not sure about the instant pot part, but that is partially why you soak them otherwise.

Soaking also pulls out some of the sugars that can make you bloated and gassy as well as helps remove phytic acid which makes them hard to digest.

Okay. That sounds like a must-not-skip step, then.
thanks
