Ribs aren't too difficult, and they cook relatively quickly in BBQ terms. Pork is pretty forgiving. Brisket from what I understand is much more difficult. It takes some of the longest times to cook of the common BBQ meats and can turn into leather if not done carefully.

If anyone can get Amazon to work, ChefSteps is promoting the launch of Joule in 220v/UK by offering a Prime Day price on the US version of $129.

The best way to enjoy wagyu is on someone else's dime.

Okay... got an instant pot coming my way. What are some of yinz favorite recipes? I think I'm going to make some beef or pork for tacos this weekend. Of course, I gotta try making some refried beans as well.

I add chicken sausage to mine

although chili is the type of thing that can be made just as easy in a dutch oven and or regular old pot as it is to make in a pressure cooker

Yeah, I've never had bone marrow, so I'll be giving that a shot.

They also have Japanese A5, but it's $34 an ounce.

Bone marrow = "nature's butter"

It is indeed. I have some in my freezer. And I need to make a fresh batch.

First instant pot "cook" is yogurt going in tonight... tomorrow: barbacoa and beans (no, no together, and no, not actual barbacoa... the chipotle version of barbacoa).

Wish me luck.

Postby **count2infinity** » Sat Jul 21, 2018 7:08 pm

Yogurt: It's good, but I'm not great. I might try making greek yogurt next time. Probably more up my alley. And considering I eat yogurt every morning, it'll be a little bit of savings just making my own.

Beans: I don't cook beans very often because they take forever and canned beans are super easy. Made a batch of black beans. Had bay leaf, garlic, an orange, and onion in there with some salt. Took 40 minutes in the pot (no stirring, no nothing) and then 10 minutes to cool a bit before releasing the pressure. I added some cumin and a little extra salt after they were done. At dinner I added a touch of hot sauce and wow. Soooo good. I'm looking forward to making more bean recipes, so if you've got any favorites, send 'em my way.

Carnitas: Followed this recipe... https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/ins ... -carnitas/ Topped it with some fresh pico, pickled jalapeno, radish, and shallot. Then a touch of sour cream. Delicious, except the cinnamon being a little overpowering. Monday, we plan on taking the left over carnitas and beans and top some baked sweet potatoes with them.

Overall, pretty successful and for a $60 piece of equipment, I can certainly see me getting our moneys worth.

Did you soak the beans beforehand

Postby **mac5155** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 5:16 pm

Random question.

So I've been getting a lot of requests for some of my rub recipes, so much that people are now giving me 5 and 10 bucks for jars of the rubs.

Could I start to sell these things at a town festival or do I need "permits"

Postby **tifosi77** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 6:28 pm

Tough to say. Usually you're only going to attract interest if you're selling things that are potentially dangerous (raw meat, dairy, nuts, etc.). There was a woman in Fresno (iirc) who was sentenced to community service for selling ceviche via a Facebook group. If you go to something like a farmers market, the market has the license and that covers the individual vendors.

Either way, put me down for a jar of your finest rib dust.

Postby **mac5155** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 6:52 pm

Someone mentioned it to me today. I never even gave it much thought. But I know I'm the kind of guy who will walk through a festival and see a tent with random stuff... Dips, rubs, spices, etc... And always give it a try just in case it's good.

Maybe I'll give it a go at some point if this keeps up.

Nope. Straight in.
