Why do you have to soak or boil chickpeas before cooking in an IP?
merigayle:
You can cook non soaked just takes longer.
Run Amok:
Presoaked/rehydrated beans cook a little faster & more evenlyl. You can do the quick-soak method which I think in the IP is 10 minutes then let sit for an hour.
That said, you do not have to presoak. They just take longer to cook. I personally also find that I have a little more variation in doneness this way and will have some beans that will be a little over done and some a little under done.
There are tables on google that give you cooking times for dry vs presoaked.

The pre-soaking stuff is kind of a myth in general though-- here is an epicurious article on the subject. https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/soaking-salting-dried-bean-myths-article
BonitaApplebum:
I'm so ashamed, I have *yet* to make beans of any sort in my IP!!!
(I did make a delicious baba ganoush the other day, though.)

I also thought they are less likely to cause gas if soaked.
