Why do you have 2 slotted spoons?

edit: woah pineapple in chili why didn't I thin of that? This is a revelation.

Why do you suggest removing the 4 jalapeno peppers to reduce heat instead of the twice as hot serranos?

So...anyone make ramen broth in their Instant Pot? How did it go?

I was planning on trying a tonkotsu broth tonight, and then Kenji reckons it will be a clear broth because the pressure cooker won't create a rolling boil. I'm still going to try it because I don't really give a gently caress about authenticity so long as it tastes good. I'll update the thread later if I end up trying it.

OK I am making the pork feet + chicken carcass ramen broth in the instant pot right now. Loosely followed Kenji's traditional recipe without the pre-boil and obviously I'm not doing the 12 hour stove-top rolling boil.

pressure cooker is great for stock. I've made plenty of Hong Kong superior stock in mine over the years.

just made a simple pork and chicken ramen broth in my instant pot a while ago and it was great, cooked it at pressure for about 45 minutes iirc

Was it the traditional cloudy broth, or clear like Kenji says?

Yeah on Prime Day they were selling the 8 quart cheaper than the 6.

So Pork ramen broth: Came out deep brown, semi-clear. It was like a 'good' beef Consommé. Not what you want when making tonkotsu but it tasted good.

Cooking fatty ground meats for so long that they render out and begin to fry in their own fat is a masterstroke that I learned from a GWS post by a guy that made a variation on Mario Batalli's ragu. It adds so much depth and rich flavor that I do it all the time. I even do it with things like laab now.

It was more like water with some vegetable in it. Dude went the complete opposite of reduction.

Also instead of putting the meat on a sheet and drying it out, you can pan fry it in fat (pork fat!). Moist but also crisp on one side is my preferred style.

What was the skin and fat like? Texture wise

So that's key I feel to pressure cooking pork belly. There cannot be skin on it otherwise it's gonna be gross texture. If the belly I had still had skin, it would be a slow braise in the oven followed by high heat to crisp it up.

Consider using your ovens Broil feature (if it has it, direct heat only from the top element) to crisp up pork crackling too. It's way better than cranking the entire oven, more direct.

I feel like this thread won't have as many smoker experts as the smoked meats or bbq threads. I have a pressure cooker but never a smoker. Good luck though and now I'm interested if these multi function smokers are decent?

I thought shawarma was meat cooked on a spit which is then shaved off for serving. A pressure cooker doesn't fit in with my idea of it at all. Did you post to the right thread?

In Australia they call greek gyro 'souvlaki' even though it's not traditional real souvlaki. shawerma is called kebab. they're all layers of meat pushed real close together on a spit. It's just a difference of flavoring and what goes in the wrap. But yeh they're the same texture/idea.

And ze Germans call it Doner Kebab because reasons.

They cooked meat and put it into a pita or wrap. Job done, similar meal. It's not like we should look up to the quality of meat on a spit they use for shawarma, doner or yiros.

Yeah nah, shawerma/gyro/doner should be nice browned roasted meat, not pressure cooked pot roast. End of story. Sorry.

Are recipe books really better than googling a dish and spending 20 minutes reading 3 - 10 recipes and picking bits and pieces you like from each? I end up making a dish 2 - 5 times always tweaking before I'm 'satisfied' with it, even if its from a cookbook.

The only downside I've found so far is that some vegetables basically disintegrate under high heat and pressure. Which is great for flavor, but it's weird to throw in a couple of chopped onions for a stew and have them essentially disappear.

That's not a downside, depending on the application.

That recipe sounds decent, but you stop and come back to release pressure to add more water and stir. Add colatura di alicisauce, or fish sauce, to this and it sounds really decent.

i keep going back and buying larger and larger quantities of misc animal parts

This is me. I have 2 leftover roast chicken carcasses + some fresh ginger in my IP right now. Plan on making some wonton soup and hotpot. Freezer is full of pork, chicken and beef stocks. My local supermarket will cut beef bones to order so I have them cut the beef leg bones open to brown more of the marrow. Supermarkets that break down the animals on premise have good deals on offcuts and bones.

Air fryers are miniature portable convection ovens. Can't fit much in it, either. Probably OK if you don't have a real oven. Definitely not oil frying or pressure cooking related.

I have a bag of beans, a carton of chicken stock, a white onion, 2 jalapenos, whole garlic cloves, couple carrots, a rotisserie roasted whole pork hock from roli roti. How many cups of beans and stock for how long under pressure?

Because it becomes overcooked then the house stinks of farts. More than when they overcook it in a stovetop pan because they manage to fit way more into the IP.

3.5 hours under pressure for chicken is a long rear end time. Fish < Chicken < Beef usually but interested to hear your thought process on that decision. Like why not do beef for 4 or 4.5? And is the chicken bone not disintegrated by then?
