All I knew about pressure cookers before meeting Bianca is that they were scary as shit.
My dad is a huge Steam train lover and he has shown me pictures of a train who's boiler exploded when I was a kid. Flying through the air for miles (according to him). Pressure and no relief valve = BOOM!
For me, pressure cookers resemble the same thing. You don't want to be near it when it explodes.
Now apparently pressure cookers are a thing in Brasil. They love em. You can find them from the poor to the rich.
When Bianca came to my house for the first time I think she was extremely surprised I didn't have one. Such a crucial cooking device.
After some pressure from her side, I decided to buy one (or I overcame my fear). I bought one with 2 or 3 safety valves because no way I was going to die by pressure cooker in my thirties.
I fell in love with the thing. Opening the relief valve after cooking for the first time was scary because it makes a ton of noise but the meals that come out of that pan are amazing.
Especially meat. Meat that normally needs to cook for 4-5 hours to become tender you can cook in the pressure cooker in 30 minutes.
Bianca's birthday is tomorrow so we went to Butcher Schell to buy some nice sausages for her party Saturday. But while being there she saw these beautiful beef ribs. We took them home and she cooked them in the pressure cooker for us.
It was amazing. Let me show you.
The ribs at the Butcher. Bianca's ask the butcher to cut them into 2-3 cm pieces.
This is what they look like after cutting. Notice the bone. It gives a ton of flavor.
Get your pressure cooker and put in butter and fry some garlic and onions.
Add the meat and give it some color. Then add water and salt.
Close the lid. And leave it to cook for 30 minutes.
When you open the pressure it looks like this! Amazing!
End result
And a video with the end result! It was delicious.
