    Beef Stew tonight cooked in the Breville Pressure Cooker.

     

    The beef cooked in 18 minutes, did a quick pressure release and added the vegetables (potatoes, onions, celery, carrots and green beans and PC'd for 8 minutes. Another quick release and then topped the stew with dumplings and simmered for 15 minutes in the same pot, on the saute low setting.

    (Moe's plate. I don't do carrots)

     Very interesting. I looked up a couple of recipes and I’m tempted to give it a try as soon as I find something suitable potatoes. 

    Anna, I only use Russet potatoes.  It is my preferred potato for the gratin, mashed, fried, roasted, baked, etc.....

    Soaked the beans over night.   Used the ham bone and cooked the soup in the Breville PC.

    Robirdstx, I would be very happy with a slice of your Quiche for breakfast.

     I am deeply into Southwind Through The Kitchen  which is a collection of Elizabeth David‘s writings compiled by Jill Norman.  So breakfast this morning is my interpretation of peperoni alla piemontese. When your house smells this good this early on a Sunday morning...

    Anna, I can almost imagine how wonderful your house smelled.   My family would love that.

     

    I presalted Prime Rib Rib Bones last night and cooked them this morning in the Breville Pressure Cooker.

    Anyone that knows me, knows this is Moe's plate because I don't eat carrots.

    I'm working today so I'm taking mine for lunch.

  7. Last night's dinner.

    59f32b19283b6_SalmonwithJulienneVegetablesOctober26th2017.thumb.jpg.36db06adc88ca9b93632898ae9f81b08.jpg

     

    Local Coho Salmon with Julienne Vegetables served with a Pressure cooker Risotto.

     

    The risotto was

     good, BUT, I must confess, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Risotto and actually enjoy the process of making it.

  8. Tex Mex pressured cooked in the Breville.

    Pinto beans cooked first.    Took about 25 minutes.  A few minutes longer because I hadn't soaked first. 

    Chicken Chile Verde took 20 minutes.

  9. I haven't baked in months.  So I have a very happy husband.  He doesn't whine much, but he does whine about eating bakery bought bread.

    Handmixed a 1000g batch of dough at 73% hydration on Saturday night and left it overnight in the fridge.

    Baked two small baguettes Sunday night. 

    Will bake again over the next couple of days.

  10. This is my first post to this thread.   I finally bit the bullet and bought a PC.  After reading all of the reviews, I decided to go with the Breville Fast Slow Pro Multi-Cooker because I really like

    all of the other Breville small appliances that I have.

    59e8c76d08899_VealBlanquetteOctober18th2017.thumb.jpg.d558e744ca8740d26eb732530260c67e.jpg

     

    The Breville arrived in the mail yesterday and I used it last night to make Veal Blanquette.   

     

    And this morning I made lamb shanks. Greek Style.   

    It is a learning process.  I learned that it would have been much quicker to sear the shanks in my cast iron skillet rather than in the PC. 

    Once the lamb was cooked (50 minutes), I removed it from the pot and added two large whole russets and some green beans.

    The vegetable setting was for 10 minutes at 7.5 which I think was about 2 minutes too long.  I will reduce the time when I do potatoes again.

    Moe had the lamb for breakfast.  Not pretty, but flavour was wonderful.

  11. I used my new pressure cooker for tonight's dinner.

     

    I ordered the Breville Fast Slow Pro Multi cooker Monday and it arrived today.  So 

    I decided to give it a trial run.

    I made an old favourite, Veal Blanquette.  Only took 20 minutes in the PC.

  12. Moe's Breakfast. Pulled Pork Sandwich.

    Put a small pork shoulder on to slow roast early this morning. Might as well cook when I'm awake at 3:30 AM.

    Seasoned with fresh garlic, salt, lots of fresh ground pepper, chipotle peppers and the juice of a lime.

    Too early for me. 

     

    I was working yesterday so I took mine for lunch. I would have been happy with just the mashed potatoes and gravy.   Love pork gravy.
