After today I need to cook another batch of peas.

Making mushy peas is a bit of a mystery to me. Please share your wisdom Bren!

Soak the dried peas overnight in boiled water add a teaspoon of bicarb. 
Next morning rinse then either place in slow cooker add water to just above peas cook on high for about 5 hours.  
Or cook in pressure cooker for 10 minutes.  
They might look a bit runny but after they’ve cooled they do thicken up.

I did stop using the pressure cooker after having a problem so ive used my slow cooker since then.
