crock pots.... pressure cookers

[Suesumba]

okay i have both

maybe it's me but everything i put in the pressure cooker comes out as some kind of rubberized blecchhh.

everything in the crock pot turns into a glurpy mess - i.e. you can only only ever make stews?


do you guys have any nifty zippy tips for using either?

do you have either.

the crock pot was re-gifted to me last xmas - right in front of the person who gave it to another person at the fated xmas gathering.

eta and buy tuff meat

I have both. Last time I used the pressure cooker was for turkey neck oxtail (somewhere in archives). Last time I used the crock pot was on Sunday when I made spiced apple cider and took it to an event on Sunday evening. In fact. It is still in the back of my car

CB soon come in with her dream crock-pressure-combo ting.

the turkey oxtail bound fi cheaper than the beef. di bones don't come out like *too soft* from the pressure cooker?

I have slowcooker, pressure cooker and the slow/fast cooker, steamer combo.

Regardless of what the recipe say I add between 1/2 cup water or enough to just cover the meat.

curry chicken 20 min pressure cooker.
Curry goat slow cooker 6 hrs first 4 hr high.
roast beef in pressure cooker 45 mins - 1 hr after searing for slicing
roast beef in slow cooker 4-6 hrs for shredding

When I go on the laptop will find some of them recipes.

Mi noh nyam beef oxtail noh more, too unhealthy, soh mi tried di turkey neck wan. Mi sey,it was wicked! Mi didn,t notice any difference. And, no Sue, di bones did not come out too soft, but di meat was falling off ah it. Yuh can control yuh tenderness wid di time. Di best ting is it was very lean an healthy!

I'm not so good with the pressure cooker and apparently nobody else I know is or I would not have repeat offenses of someone forcing off the top...but I digress.

He's giving good advice for the crock pot for meat dishes and veggies, just ease up on the liquid. For peas or beans, it should be fine as normal if you just turn it to high towards the end. I get that it kind of defeats the purpose if the slow cooker makes extra work at the end of the day but so it goes.
