Multiple drugs, especially those made by Instant Pot, has become a staple in our kitchens over the past few years. Also known as electric pressure cookers, they use the move from stove to countertop as an excuse to change the image.
No longer considered the rattle hazard our grandmothers put on their gas stoves, the new versions are quiet and easy to use, with the ability to shorten start to finish times enough to makes a complex weekend-style meal possible. one night of study. They make comfort food — stews, chili, mac and cheese, beans, risotto — and turn tough cuts of meat into masterpieces with rich flavors and silky textures.
However, it’s important to note that the multi-cookers and slow cooks are kissing from cousins, doing the same job on different schedules. For some people, it may be easier to enjoy a meal together in the slow cooker in the morning before going to work and to come back with a delicious taste at the end of the day. Others can turn on the pressure and make Instant Pot dinners as soon as they walk in the door.
The enduring popularity of Multicookers has resulted in a series of books that help home cooks get the most out of their equipment. These are my favorites, thanks to their thoroughly tested, flavorful recipes.
