Cooking with a pressure cooker?

[NorwichGrad]

Wayne,

This is serious feedback..

a) Your wife is Filipina.

b) She loves to cook.

c) You want to get her something nice for the kitchen. (Because that is what real men do.. Get their women something for the kitchen so they can make yummy sammiches.)


This is just a suggestion. Have you thought of giving her clay cooking pots? Seriously.

Back in the Islands, this is how "OUR" peeps cook. If you think Filipino dishes cooked on cheap Walmart Chinese aluminum is delicious, wait until the same dishes are cooked in clay pot. Seriously. It is orgasmic..

The only thing with clay pot is that they work best on gas stove.. So if you have electric stove, you should also consider getting perhaps a cheap Coleman camping stove. You're in Cali. You can cook outside year-round. I mean, $hit, sir, I am in Pennsyltucky and I give mother nature my middle finger when I grill outside in January.

Just something to consider..

Howdy NWG....

A: Yes...Americanized Filipina....still cute as a button.
B: She doesn't really 'love' to cook but is always willing to.....and try new suggestions I might come up with.
C: I like the 'clay pot' path but noting your comments we don't have a gas stove. We have a Coleman (which I do maintain) but I'm not terribly interested in getting that out to cook with.

It was a thoughtful and well received suggestion.

Culturally speaking...she does good adobo, sinagang (pork or fish is my pref.) and excellent lumpia.
It took her years to finally get the technique to turn out good lumpia
The funny part?...I make the rice. I can't remember that last time she did.

Thanks for joining the fray.

Safe Saturday to everyone.......time for a blast of Crown Royal thank you very much.

With those three dishes, you are hereby inducted into the "Honorary Filipino Stud Chapter of California." All you need to do at the next level to prove your hardcoreness is by eating balut.. LOL..

It was a great pleasure participating, Wayne. To me, talking about food and cooking is like talking about guns and ammo.. hahaha..

Ha...hope I can live up to my new inductee title.

I appreciate your encouragement to rise to the next level of 'hardcoreness' but I don't think I have what it takes to eat balut.

Mas cafe para me....a good day to all.

If your wife wishes to cook with a pressure cooker, she will go buy one. You may consider a gift that gets you kisses instead of beans...

hahahaa


my mom used to have one of those old kind
with the thing on top that would wiggle and sputter
my brother and I used to stand in kitchen watching to see
if it was going to explode and send our dinner up the ceiling

I use one mostly to cook cow tongues for Sunday morning breakfast...

Pressure cooker is a must have if you want to can fish yourself. And, it makes excellent pot still. Just sayin...

You don't want to be in the same room with one of those old school pressure cookers when they blow.

This is an old thread, bumpity bump boomp.

Make sure to adjust time and temperature (low, medium, high) before starting. Remember to adjust the steam release handle to "venting" when using your Instant Pot as a slow cooker.
