I've never had a problem cooking either beans or split peas in there if
done properly. Just don't overfill it! I never fill it more than 3/4
full when I make stock and it's best with beans and peas if you never
fill it more than 1/2 full.

The one time I blew a safety valve was with beans, but I did overfill it!

Soaking the split peas for 24 hours (with at least 2 water changes, use
a screen strainer in a bowl) might also solve the problem.
