  1. This doesnt make sense from the physics perspective at all. I highly doubt the quick release makes the meat chewy.
    Chewieness is related protein strands denaturate and coiling up.
    So you want to either stop cooking before this happens or you want to cook it longer these strands break down.
    Cooking under pressure brings down the temperature needed for this breakdown to happen (just as it brings down the water boiling temp). If its broke down, it wont suddenly uncook itself…..
    Also your small pack of ice didnt even melt. It just seems kind of irrelevant with very minor effect, especially considering it only cools down the air raising to the top of the pot, not the big mass of piping hot food on the bottom.

  2. 🤯 I swore off the pressure cooker for meats because it was so chewy and dry. I thought it was just the pressure cooking method so I switched back to broiling and then stewing on the stove. Will definitely try this out next time I do a roast or braise. Thanks for the tip!
