thermal cooker/12 volt crock pot

Andy, you mentioned cooking bean soup in your thermal cooker. I find that I have to cook split peas a FULL 10 HOURS in my crock pot, and this is after they have soaked all night. I'm wondering if you cooked raw, soaked beans in the thermal cooker and if they came out OK. I was concerned that the temp. may drop more in the thermal cooker and the split peas or beans would not be done in even 10 hours.

Thanks, Eileen

As I recall, the first time I tried this without soaking the beans, they were not fully cooked after 9 or 10 hours (by which time the temperature had dropped to a little under 150° F.), so I put the Nissan cooker's inner pot back on the stove and simmered them for another couple of hours, which seemed to do the trick. Next time I cooked beans, I soaked them overnight beforehand and things were OK.
