anybody own a pressure cooker?

i love braising beef and pork but i work unusual hours so a lot of the time i don't have three hours to braise stuff.

is a pressure cooker the proper way to solve this problem?

>> No.4716677

>>4716671
yes, also crock pots for low and slow cooking as well.

>> No.4716886

>>4716671
yep, I braise chuck in pressure cooker all the fuckin time. sear the meat, saute onions carrots celery in the rendered fat, deglaze with broth, place meat back in, add broth halfway covering the meat. 50 minutes full pressure should be enough for a big hunk of meat but it will depend on size. When its cooked, remove the meat, skim the fat, add potatoes big carrots mushrooms WHATEVER into the cooking liquid and simmer until vegs are cooked

this, 100%.

General rule of thumb is that it takes approx. 1/3 the time in the pressure cooker than it does to braise in a normal pot.

My working hours have been recently changed and I have no time to cook.
Thinking a pressure cooker might be a good investment.
How do they work? Do I just chuck in meat, vegetables and some spices and then bam, it's done nice and quick?

I don't spend that much time here.
Problem is I work too early to go to the gym before work. So gym straight after work, but by the time I get home, I don't have enough time to cook.

Bullshit. Utter steaming bullshit. How much do you work; 90 hours a week? You doing 20x150 sets at the gym? You live in Kansas City but work in Chicago?

You have time. You have plenty of time. You're choosing to spend that time on other things. Stop doing that.

>> No.4718551

get a slow cooker. if you are late home or whatever you can let your food keep cooking for an hour or two with no ill effect.

The biggest difference is a soldier's only purpose is directed violence. Cops, at times (which in some locations means many times a day), have to use violence, it is not the entirety of their purpose.

Pressure Cooker + Backpack

>> No.4718682

I have one. It's perfect for stock, but I don't particularly like it for actual food. The cook time is so fast it's very easy to either overcook or undercook something and there's just no margin of error.

Also most people consider slow cooked beans to have a better texture, and I would agree with those people.

>> No.4718728

>>4718682
I never have overcooking problems but you can always bring your food up to speed under pressure, undercook it in the pressure cooker and finish it using conventional means in about 10 minutes.

I recommend this. A backpack is a great place to store your pressure cooker when you're on the go!
Google those two, i've seen some really good deals

I use my pressure cooker a few times a week. Great for making unsoaked dry beans into food in just over half an hour. Great for banging out a long simmering dish on a Tuesday night. Great for making Chinese red cooked pork, or having a huge pot of borscht in under an hour.

I put off getting one for years, but I really happy I finally got one.

it takes much less than half an hour to cook unsoaked beans. red kidney takes 16 mins for example

Pro tip: You can use a pressure cooker to sterilize bird seed, or other grains. With this, you can innoculate with fungal spores and grow your own mushrooms. Invitro or otherwise.
Oyster and Psilocybe Cubensis are the easiest by far. Oyster will grow on old coffee grinds and newspapers too. just need to sterilize in order to give the fungus a fighting chance.

That's why I bought my 22L pressure cooker about 2 decades ago. Now I just use it on occasion for large batch cooking.

depends on the freshness of your dried beans I guess. different brands might take longer.

Excuse me, but Crock Pot® is a registered trademark of Sunbeam Corporation.

I believe you are attempting to refer to "slow cooker master race".
