I'm a single guy that does almost all my own cooking. Mostly beans, soups, and chicken.
These pressure cookers, (at sea level) speed up the cooking times dramatically!. Also, for reheating leftovers, its great!
Last night, I found a store bought rotisserie chicken that was half eaten and 6 days old in the frig, most would throw it out. Not me! Pop it in the pressure cooker, add a little water, can of Mushroom soup, bring up to pressure (15psi) for 5 mins, damn it was good!
LOL, Tammy!
No need. I knew what you meant. I love my pressure cooker, but my wife isn’t so sure. She does like what comes out of it, though.....
maybe it was the whiskey consumed with the chicken ;-)
Just Don’t run one dry on an electric stove, you can exceed the melting point of Al. Even the nanny state can’t protect you from all pilot error. I have pressure cooked for many tears with no problem.
For this reason I would recommend a stainless steel cooker.
I can eat 2 fried chickens with a coke.
Actually I dont drink soda.
Unsweetened tea.
Now you do! Lard is the BEST for frying chicken.
Baby sat someone and they had split pea soup in the pressure cooker.
The pressure release blew off the top. Ever since, I have had a sort of awe of the pressure cooker others don’t understand.
I never though split peas would be able to make a hole in the ceiling.
A digital pressure cooker? I'm going to have to investigate that one.
I've been using the same old fashioned cooker for *ahem* 25 years. Seems I'm a little out of date! LOL
Lard is fine
Is it OK to substitute groundhog? ;^)
Way back when, we had a pie eating contest to see whose pie crust was better: my aunt’s or my mother in law’s: lard vs.Crisco. Auntie’s lard won! Of course, I was biased with my vote cuz I never did like my EX mother in law.
That’s interesting
Wouldn’t the pressure kill all possible bacteria? If not, what is the deal with pressure canning versus regular canning?
Inquiring minds want to know . . .
Damn skippy!
Lard wins again!
Or any road kill you can find. hehehehe
My grammar used to make these corn meal cake donuts fried in the lard then sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, Awesome!
She also gave us fresh baked bread slathered with butter and sprinkled with sugar
So many have found out the hard way.
We had one that my dad bought in ‘46 or ‘47. Wife and I moved it from Iowa to Missouri to Iowa, up to Minnesota and then to Missouri.
When I was young, we took it with us to Japan (Army brat days) and back.
I don’t think we ever actually used it. I was really big...
My grandma called those hoe cakes. Never knew why.
