I’ve got one of the little guys too. Haven’t used it in a long time though. Things these days tend to be microwaved or crockpotted, or open a jar and fix it quick.
Used to make a really good dish called hot pot. It was one of the recipes in the book that came with it. Had pork chops taters, and onions, but I can’t remember the rest.
Anyway, yes the meat is very tender - that’s one of the pluses of using the big canner and canning my meats. They taste great and are very tender - Important when you have lost as many jaw teeth as I have. LOL
I’m making enchiladas tonight with chicken I canned. I LOVE having meat already cooked and ready to use!
I hear ya on the teeth! I asked my dentist about dentures last time I went - just pull what’s left and be done with it would be great! but he wants to nickel and dime me over the next 20 years instead.
