Tony Maws (Craigie on Main, Kirkland Tap & Trotter)

  1. I've made bone-in pork chops in an Instant Pot, that melt in your mouth, which sounds gross when talking about meat, but trust me, it's incredibly good, AND the gravy I make with the juice at the bottom of the pot, tastes like I slaved away at it all day, and all it took was less than hour start to finish.

  2. Here in Brazil everybody uses Pressure Cooker. The secret to use well is cook and let it lose the pressure naturally. And never pull the valve, or you can give your skin fried by vapor. If you need to cold quickly, just let water fall in the side, or you can break the rubber (if your cooker have one).

  3. The first time I used a pressure cooker I was two or three years old. No, you were filling your diaper while someone else was cooking AND considering childhood amnesia, you most likely don't remember ANYTHING AT ALL at that age.

  4. Stove top pressure cooker will always get faster and better results. Can sear meats better and release pressure naturally better.
    However wouldn't think a pressure cooker could make fish better than in an oven… oven baked fish in a Dutch oven would create better caramelization and flavour
