If you are using dried peas PLEASE make sure they are in a bag of some kind. The first time we did that we had a green ceiling when the safety valve blew because the peas had blocked the pressure valve.

will be ok with or without water 10 mins seems a bit of a long time though.

Normally, the minimum amount of fluid (total volume) in a small/medium pressure cooker should be no less than about 140ml (say about a quarter of a pint). In a large one, 250 to 300ml.
