Cooking the beans in the pressure cooker for 20 minutes without letting them sit came out pretty good. 25 minutes would probably be better. It didn't remove the skins, but they were soft and almost dissolved.

			Cooking beans in pressure cooker for 30 minutes with no baking soda works well. Dump the water then fill back up with cold water. In the water, crush the beans a little and the skins will break off. They are less dense than the beans so swirling the water brings them to the top. Skim with a strainer. It doesn't get all of them, but it can get a lot in just a minute or two.

			Adding roast peanuts is really good. Put the peanuts in the processor to just crush them before cooking. Then get a nice dark roast. The resulting tahini is so rich that my mouth waters unsettlingly just smelling it.

	It seems better to make several small batches and combine them before storage. Make it just a little on the runny side, it tends to absorb some of the water after a day and thicken as it cools.

Make it just a little on the runny side, it tends to absorb some of the water after a day and thicken as it cools. While it's still warm shake the container just a bit to get some of the bubbles out. This also means it's good to put it back in the processor after a day - the small granules will both soften and expand.

	~~=== To Try ===~~
	Cook the chickpeas normally, then pulse them in the food processor. Put that in a container with a teaspoon of baking soda and enough water to cover. Let it sit for a day or two. This should dissolve any fragments of skin left over and let the beans absorb all the water they want.
