----- --- 19163084 I'm considering buying a pressure cooker to save time. I eat a lot of legumes. What should I know about them? --- 19163093 You can cook a mean ball bearing stew in those things --- 19163101 >>19163093 Not today Satan. --- 19163104 >>19163084 (OP) >What should I know about them? the legumes or pressure cooker. legumes don't need a pressure cooker. --- 19163120 >>19163104 I want to cook legumes faster. --- 19163225 >>19163084 (OP) They get very loud --- 19163237 >>19163120 they will cook before the pressure cooker gets up to pressure. --- 19163252 >>19163084 (OP) You can find them st thrift stores pretty cheap sometimes. You have to make sure all the parts are there. Most are made of aluminum. I don't like how aluminum is linked to Alzheimer's, so I pressure can my beans in Mason jars.... something you can do with medium to large cookers. Do a batch and put the extra jars on the shelf. More delicate things are easier to fuck up. They just cook to fast... like lentils. Black beans, pintos, kidney, and garbanzos are better to use in pressure cookers/canners imo. Ask around before you buy. Someone might loan or give you one. I have a smaller one that I never use. >>19163093 OP is not asking about FBI false flag tactics. Stupidest shit ever --- 19163263 They're dangerous even if they're "smart". I'm scared of them. They can and will fuck up your food ($12~), itself ($80~) your stove ($500~) and either the canopy/microwave/roof ($???~) even if you're sober while using it. --- 19163275 >>19163252 I would not trust a thrift store pressure cooker if it can't be refurbished unless you had aforementioned tactical uses Also yeah, aluminum can be weird depending on your water and your cleaning methods --- 19163314 >>19163084 (OP) >I'm considering buying a pressure cooker to save time. Are you making a bomb? --- 19163333 >>19163275 I have 3 "used" pressure cookers. All of them are vintage and quite functional. Of course they are from back in the day when "home economics" was taught in school and the people who used them understood how to use them. --- 19163347 >>19163333 We get it, you're a girl. --- 19163355 i bought this exact model. because America's Test Kitchen said this one is the best. and i really love it. i use it like how cooking youtubers use those enemel coated cast iron pots. making stews gets done so fast. the meats become so tender. --- 19163377 Pressure cooker legit changed my entire cooking routine. I don't buy canned beans anymore, and I make some kind of braised beef at least once a month. One of the VERY few kitchen tools thay completely exceeded my expectations. --- 19163386 >>19163377 how do you braise a beef in a pressure cooker, Anon? --- 19163403 >>19163386 Shut the fuck up you breathing abortion, you know exactly what the fuck I mean, choke on used syringes you gutter sucking floorboard, fucking waste of air --- 19163409 >>19163403 Creative and hilarious apology accepted, happily --- 19163433 >>19163403 can't handle the pressure? --- 19163473 >>19163347 never was. never will be. --- 19164005 >>19163084 (OP) Great for stocks and pulses and stews. --- 19164238 >>19163093 Kek. I own a pressure cooker that was the vessel of choice for improvised Misznay-Schardin mines. Ironically (or, I guess, fittingly), it's an ancient Soviet hunk of metal. --- 19164257 >>19163377 >i don‘t buy canned beans anymore Idk anon, the canned ones are convenient af and for some reason always seem to taste better than when i try to cook them myself --- 19164422 >>19164257 The taste is always the same no matter what you use to cook them. The difference is the texture, canned beans are generally cooked to fuckin shit and mushy, but when you do them yourself they get a much better texture. --- 19164439 >>19163403 average pressurecookertranny mental stability on display here --- 19164440 >>19164238 looked up Misznay-Schardin effect. probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen have a "discoverer" type name. in other news, water is wet. --- 19166125 >>19164439 DIE BITCH NIGGA --- 19166331 >>19163084 (OP) I'd buy a presto 01370 and buy this steamer basket and drain screen (you flip it upside down and put it in the basket so the center cooks evenly) The best way to cook beans is to quick soak ( bring beans to a boil then turn off heat and let soak for 1 hour) the beans, then pressure steam them in this basket, for around 14 minutes. then put the beans in jars and store in the fridge. The beans will come out berfect every time, and you can mix beans together and cook them this way and they will all come out perfect. Don't forget to carefully sort the beans for rocks. I inspect a handful at a time on a white plate. --- 19167727 bump --- 19167996 Buy an instant pot, it's essentially a pressure cooker with a timer and more safety mechanisms --- 19168005 >>19167996 You can't use it when there is no electricity, and you cannot put it in the sink and run cold water over it to quickly depressurize it. There are some advantages though, so get a stovetop one and a instant pot if you must. --- 19168014 >>19163084 (OP) High temperatures can destroy nutrients --- 19168150 >>19168014 nope captcha; AY0WH --- 19168187 >>19163101 Tell the devil not today. Tell the devil go away. Tell him he ain't got a chance cos my Lord got a say.
