Because I'm not. I know all about pressure cookers and Instant Pots, and I cook and eat a lot of beans. I just wanted a dedicated rice cooker, I'm not sure how that earned your condescension.

I'd like to make my own Barbecue Sauce, are there recommended methods that would produce a tangy flavor?

Here's one from a cookbook I've got. It's delicious.

1 small onion sliced
1 cup fresh oj
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp dry mustard
1 tbsp paprika
1.5 tsp red pepper flake
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chile powder
2 tsp Tabasco
1 tbsp honey

Put remaining oj in saucepan with ketchup, lime, vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, paprika, pepper flake, garlic, chile, tabasco, honey, 1 tsp salt, 1.5 tsp black pepper, butter

Soiled Meat
How fortuitous, I came here to ask for bean-based pressure cooker recipes and I have that exact model.

So, for the past few years I've been preparing a large batch of meals of Sunday and freezing them for the following week. It's always been chicken breasts, rice, and vegetables, but I'm looking lessen my meat consumption so I was hoping for some sort of high-protein, bean-based recipe I could use to take it's place.

Here's what I bought today, I figure this must be 80% of what I need, I'm just not sure what to actually do with it:

  • 10 lbs brown rice
  • 2 lbs pinto, red, kidney beans, as well as 2 lbs lentil and split peas
  • Chicken broth

I also have sauces and spices; I'd be happy to back to the store and buy anything I else I might need, but can anyone recommend a simple recipe I could start with?

Edit: Oh wait that picture is of our smaller "rice cooker". I checked my kitchen and what I mainly use is an insignia digital pressure cooker about twice that size. Still, it makes great rice and I'm sure it could cook other stuff, I've had nothing but good results with it.

Are you looking for lunches, or dinners?

With the pinto beans you can make refried beans. This recipe from foodwishes is the method I use (except I don't put in onion or peppers) https://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2017/02/refried-beans-cooked-well-not-twice.html. If you're looking for vegetarian, the usual substitution is shortening for the lard. The real trick is getting enough salt. It will taste bad until it's got enough salt it's kind of amazing. Not too much though, just add, mix, and taste until you get there.

Personally, I'd be happy with some nice refried beans, some good veggies, and rice. They're also good for burritos, and I often just make them into tacos.

Does anyone have a go-to pizza dough recipe? We made pizzas yesterday and they were great, really good crust and the dough rose amazingly in the oven. We ended up with light, fluffy, chewy crusts, and it was softer where the toppings were. But it tasted a little underwhelming. I'd like to mimic something close to Dominos, where the dough gets sweet the more you chew it.

The recipe we followed was 300g flour with 300ml water, 7g yeast, 1tsp salt, 1 tbsp olive oil. Left it overnight in the pantry (covered) to develop flavour. Added 150g the next day and kneaded for 10 minutes. Whole process was a breeze, and made us want to have pizza night once a month. First ball we handled with floured hands but it was nightmarish due to how sticky it still was, if you handled it quick enough it was manageable but above our skill level (and we didn't want to add too much flour into the dough). We coated the bottom with cornflour and sprinkled some on the crust, it was nice. The second ball we handled with oiled hands (olive oil) and it was much easier to shape and move. There wasn't any noticeable difference between the two pizzas, so we're going to oil hands before handling from now on. Oven cranked to 250c, with a cast iron pizza thingy in there to get rip-roaring hot.

As far as I can tell, we've nailed the mechanics of pizza making, but now it's a guessing game I'd rather not play of picking a recipe that fits what we want. Final question is how to use mozzarella balls without it releasing a bunch of moisture onto the pizza. It wasn't a huge issue, most water would evaporate in the oven and then once the pizza was taken out, we let it cool a little and the water went away. It's just the flavour of fresh mozzarella balls is much nicer vs shredded. We've been slow roasting toppings (mushrooms, peppers, sweetcorn) in the oven beforehand and that dries them out enough to use as toppings, but you can't really do that with cheese.

Recipe for 2 balls (14” each in diameter) of New York style pizza:

245g water at 95 degrees Fahrenheit
1.13g instant dry yeast

-combine in stand mixer with a spoon

Add 400g bread flour
10g salt

-mix with dough hook on low for 2-3 minutes.
-let sit ten minutes (you can ball it halfway through this if you want, but not necessary
-mix another 2 minutes
-cover dough and rest at room temp for 4 hours

-after 4 hours, divide in half (325g each), ball and stretch and place each one into individual Tupperware (oiled). Place in fridge for 1-4 days.

Remove from fridge and let stand at room temp 3 hours prior to cooking.

For the mozzarella, you can treat it like tofu-slice it or keep it in balls, put down a few layers of paper towels, the cheese, more paper towels, and put them in between to cookie sheets with a weight on top. It should press out some moisture.

To explain a bit more: dry ingredients like flour do not have a consistent density. So you can have two "one cup of flour" and end up with two very different amounts of flour depending on how tightly packed the flour is. If you're going to bake a lot then a kitchen scale is a very good idea. Even if you're just going to cook often a scale is handy for portioning out bulk foods.

As someone from the UK where kitchen scales are not a rare or specialist thing, this is a fascinating question to see asked! We also use measuring jugs for liquids, not cup measurements.

Qubee posted:

Bread becomes sweeter as the enzymes in your saliva break down the starch. Maybe you need a dough that is a bit closer to white bread? Chew on a piece of standard sliced white for a while and you'll see how sweet it becomes.

Exactly this, also the reason nearly every professional baking recipe will be in ratios by weight. Makes scaling a snap.

I weigh my dang liquids too (as long as I know the gram/ml ratio of course) - I think it's probably more accurate, and coincidentally involves dirtying fewer dishes if I can weigh things directly into the main mixing bowl.

Even growing up my mom never had a kitchen scale for weighing ingredients. she always measured it out with a cup.

Funnily enough, I talked to my older brother about this last night and he said he's been weighing his dry ingredients for years and that, for a while, our mom made light of it but now she admits that it's a superior way of cooking and baking.

I have a pork butt I am planning on roasting for the purposes of making Cuban sandwiches (or the closest to it I can get with midwestern ingredients.)

Nov 27, 2007
wow

Instant pot 30 minutes high pressure then natural release.

Quarter 4 to 6 limes throw on top rind and all
Quarter 1 to 1.5 oranges throw on top rind and all

I like my pork with more vinegar I use Braggs cider vinegar .25 cups or you could add less or none

I have experimented with Coriander and a little oregano in the pressure cook

I will throw the slow cooked pork on a hot pan to crisp it up.

I still have not perfected my mojo sauce. A nice airy bread is pretty nice in the sandwich press or in my case my waffle maker.

I like the super salty pickles that are sliced smooth. They call them fast food pickles here and like a heathen i use regular yellow mustard.

I am not a ham or cheese elitist so what ever I have goes on.

If anyone has a good mojo sauce please chime in. I am still stuck on lime juice garlic salt pepper cumin and some turmeric sometimes orange zest

This is my American-style recipe synthesized from several pizzamaking forum posts:

360 g flour
226 g water
20 g oil
20 g sugar
5 g salt
3 g yeast

That makes like 1.1 14" pizzas, I've been meaning to test a 90% reduction but haven't yet. Bake it at 375 on a pizza screen for about 25 (?) minutes.
