Pressure Cooker++

Last night I made "Yellow Split Pea and Frankfurter Soup" (N. Lawson in the NYT) for dinner. It's pretty much a standard split pea soup recipe, so it needs to simmer for a bit over an hour. I really didn't feel like waiting that long, so I made the soup in my pressure cooker.

Ten minutes later it was done (well, ten minutes after coming to a boil). And it was good.

Split pea soup in about 30 minutes, including prep work... what could be better than that?

The one thing I'd do differently is add an additional cup of water (on top of the four cups of stock) before starting the cooking.
