Eh. That's what smokers are for.

You can’t braise short ribs in a smoker, you uncultured fuck.

I honestly don't get the instapot? What's the fucking point of it?

Take a roast...beef or pork...stuff it with whole gloves of garlic. Then season the surface with Cajun seasoning.
Set it to the sear setting which lasts 30 mins. and brown the roast on all sides.
Now add some quartered onions, carrots, potatoes....about 1/4 cup liquid broth or water (that's all the liquid req'd.) . Throw the lid on, twist lock it in place and set it to stew setting. It cooks the food in it's own juices, under heat, while under pressure. It will cook that roast, melt in you mouth tender, in another 30 mins. so 1 hour, start to finish.


I cook one or the other, pork roast, or beef roast in mine on most Sundays in the fall and winter. Good comfort food...

I love smoked short ribs. But you can’t smoke them in braising liquid, just like you can’t braise them in a smoker.

You can smoke them, and THEN braise them to finish.

I also start my carnitas in the instapot.

I got nothing but time on the weekends, and don't really need slow cooked food during the week. Weekdays are for leftover slow cooked food from the weekends.

Martes?

Ya, do you use it every time you make carnitas, or just when yer short on time?

Every time. I cook the pork butt in there with a fresh mojo marinade and the pressure pounds it into the meat. And it turns what would take 5-6 hours into less than 45 minutes.

On the short ribs, I had agonized over probably a half-dozen slow-braised recipes (red wine braise) without finding one that I loved. A couple of them I started the seasoning the night before and slow cooked them for hours the next day. First time I did that instapot one.

It's not a shortcut. It's a pretty cool kitchen tool.

I also have a slow cooker and a sous vide, and the instapot gets the most use.

I have a sous vide as well. Maybe I have too many cooking options?

I work from home. I doubt I'd ever use one.

I have a sous vide. I use it once a year to reheat prime rib slices.

lolz.

That's about all I use it for.

I also occasionally use it for lobster. Throw some butter and tarragon in there. Pretty awesome results.

I'm not trying to make you. I'm just saying I choose to use it based more on results than the time savings.

When you getting married, Dole?

Like the Jews say, "Never again".

 

[Dolemite censored]

If it ain’t got an air fryer I don’t want it

No braised pigs feet for you, then.

 

[Dolemite censored]

The thing Dole bought looks like it’s for a broad. A crock pot and soup maker? Cool story maam

If it ain’t got an air fryer I don’t want it

Changed my mind and got the one with an air fryer.

You either grill food or put it in the oven. You are all weak

 

[PeoplesChicken]

It’s a pressure cooker- cook shit fast en sech.

It’s pretty much a tool of the devil. Like microwaves.

You use that for them pickled pig feet you eat??
