Well, no soak is needed for Instapot chickpeas! I can make them in under an hour, even if I didn’t soak them the day before.
And even with soaking, when I used to cook chickpeas on the stovetop, it took a long time, and you had to watch it, or the chickpeas would burn! Not so when you use the Instapot Pressure Cooker.

Love chickpeas and buying tins does add up to a lot of money. I have bags of dried chickpeas that I was reluctant to use as they take so long boiling and steaming up the kitchen windows. Not too mention adding all that moisture into the house. Definitely going to try this recipe in my pressure cooker. Is the oil really necessary?
I have never made chikcpeas from dried chickpeas. What are the benefits from doing them from dried vs using canned? Is there a texture difference?
