3. I was just thinking about Beef Stew in the Pressure Cooker today

Deep and Rich with just a splash of wine. I like to make it with baby potatos and baby carrots with Celery and whole cloves of garlic. I love it when the gravy comes out deep and a little shiny.

The weather will be turning soon enough and it'll be stew weather again.

8. i used baby carrots and celery

Mr. Ketchup isn't big on garlic, but I did sneak about a clove's worth of the pureed stuff in :evilgrin:

no baby taters, had to use up some regular russets before they were too far gone.

no wine for me, I used beef broth with a TBSP of flour and a tsp of Kitchen Bouquet. it was numnum

4. Try pressure cooked chicken sometime

ALL the flavor stays in the pot. Free range chicken comes out fork tender.

5. That's how I make chicken soup

As the chicken is pressure cooking I prepare the veggies. Then when the veggies are going in the chicken broth for a few minutes I'm removing the meat from the bones. Such great flavor that I can't ever keep myself from nibbling some of the super tender chicken as I work.

9. think I'll pick one up at the butcher next week

11. Great minds...

Or maybe it's great appetites..

I bought beef stew meat the other day for my some veggie beef stew. Getting on toward Fall
and time to put that pressure cooker to work on soups and stews.

I brown the beef in the pot first then add carrots, onion, potato (or large white beans OR corn), chopped collards or green beans, and V-8 juice. Ready in 30 minutes. Great with cornbread.

12. I don't have a pressure cooker.

We had one about 40 yrs ago but I am kinda afraid of them or are they more safe now ? I must think about getting another one if they are. Mrs. Moose

13. they are VERY much safer than the old ones I had

they lock 4 ways to Sunday

mine is a Presto, very nice 4 quart. Amazon has some good deals usually

14. Thank you

I must look into them. I want a biggy. I cook to freeze it for another day.
