So I finally gave up my fear and trade it in for a Fagor Express 6-qt Pressure Cooker. I have heard horror stories of how they 'explode' from my mum...haha... so I grew up with this huge resistance to using a pressure cooker. Many of my friends have told me about the benefits of cooking with a pressure cooker. Ken wanted me to get one so that I can cook in a fraction of the time and also his colleague told him that the meat falls off the bone...blah blah blah...
Anyways, here was our first attempt at using it. Notice the 'our' in the former sentence. Haha... I prepared all the ingredients and insisted that he does the actual cooking cause of my worry of the 'explosion'. :p We used it to cook 肉骨茶, which cooked in about 20 mins. Could have taken a shorter time but we were too cautious and used the lower heat and the dish took a long time to boil. zzz.... haha but the result was amazing. The meat really fall of the ribs, and it was soft and the soup was flavourful. But we got a scare, or rather me, when we released the pressure and the thing went hissing... haha... I have to use to cook dinner later. Wish me luck!
