Rancho Gordo Bean Box Time! I’m digging in to my new pile of beans, and these huge Scarlet Runner beans are first on the list. Recipe coming soon, but it will be similar to my Instant Pot Royal Corona beans recipe. Royal Coronas and Scarlet Runners are in the same family of beans, and cook the same way. What do you think?

Testing out pressure cooker Dulce de Leche

Making broth

It’s Memorial Day, and I’m getting ready to grill my steaks. I know it’s a stereotype, but when it comes to steak, I’m a meat and potatoes kind of guy. That’s where my Instant Pot comes in – it’s ready and waiting to make the side dish while I’m out back with my grill. Recipe: Pressure Cooker Baby Potatoes with Butter and Parsley

Working on stuffed peppers. Recipe coming soon…

Airing out the insides of my Instant Pots

Picture from my recipe testing – how long does it take to cook whole chicken wings? (As opposed to all my other recipes, which use wings cut into the wingette and drumette.)

Happy easter!

I saw Molisana Italian Imported Food on a trip through Broadview Heights, and had to stop to check them out. I’m glad I did – they have an amazing variety of dried pasta. I grabbed my tiny favorite, Ditalini, and the even smaller Tubetti. Small pastas like Ditalini and Orzo are one of my pressure cooker thickening tricks. A sealed pressure cooker doesn’t let sauces evaporate and thicken up. If fits the recipe, I add a half-cup of a small pasta after pressure cooking. Pastas soak up a remarkable amount of liquid, giving the sauce a nice, thick body.

My bean box is here!

Setting up for beef stew

I bought a whole New York Strip Loin at my local grocery store yesterday – hey, it was Acme Meat Sale day, I had to load up. What do I have with my steak? Potatoes, of course. (I hope my plan to grill the steaks holds up – 30+mph winds are blowing right now. The wind is supposed to settle down around suppertime. Wish me luck…) Recipe: Pressure Cooker Baby Potatoes with Butter and Parsley What do you think? Questions? Other ideas? Leave them in the comments section below. Related Posts Enjoyed this post?

My daughter’s birthday lunch was Dim Sum at Li Wah in Cleveland’s Asia Plaza. Afterwards, wandering through the cooking equipment at the back of the Park To Shop Asian market, I found this beauty – a massive carbon steel wok for $29.95. I almost bought it…much to the dismay of the rest of the family.

Prep work for beef brisket soup (recipe coming soon). I felt like soup on a cold February day, so I pulled out the last of my frozen beef stock. I’m still working on the recipe, so here’s one that’s close: Pressure Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup
