Shelby, you have outdone yourself.  Also?  I now want gizzards, So.Very.Badly. [Aside -- over a decade ago, I was dating a man who lived far away, in a relationship that involved a lot of travel.  He liked livers and gizzards, and I was collecting them over months, chicken by chicken, cleaned and frozen in milk.  At about the time I had a reasonable volume, he dumped me.]

 

But where was I?

 

Um.  You know how Ronnie gets to have a Friend in teh blind?  I think you need a Friend in the kitchen.  My guess is, there may be a lot of e-Gullet friend/applicants for the position, but I definitely think it should be me.  As I said several hunts ago, I am willing to mop, and I would pour the wine.  More important, as Designated Friend, I would have your coffee ready this morning.  It would be Irish-style! So then you could go right back to bed.  

🤣 OMG what a jerk!  More for you at least.......

 

I DO need a friend in the kitchen.  However, I will confess that I might get a tad grumpy at times.

 

I recommend making some gizzards soon.  I should do them for just us more often.  It's way more manageable when I'm not trying to make tons of them.

I should have asked here sooner--would have saved me a panic attack lol.  Super steam would really do the same thing as the IP?  Would I use the same amount of time?

Should work exactly the same.  A PC works because the higher pressure enables the boiling point of water to be higher than at sea level.  So my pressure cooker has 2 positions - the first is 1.5 Atmosphere (0.5 atmospheres higher than normal), which equates to a boiling point of about 230F; the second is 2 Atmosphere (1 atmosphere higher than normal) which equates to a boiling point of 248F.  So, when suspended on a rack above the water line, you'd be immersed in 248F steam....

 

So, setting the steam boy to supersteam at 250F should do the same thing and take the same amount of time.

You, sir, are a very smart person!  Thanks so much for explaining.  What would I do without all of the smart people around here???
