  • @YiorgosT
    wait isn't this the guy that never talks in the Dan science segments?! he's so good on camera!! more Joe please!
  • @craigdowski8043
    Joe certainly is a natural on-camera. I'm surprised he isn't one of the regular on-camera ATK test cooks like Keith Dresser and Dan Souza.
  • @10:48 and @14:16 this is not because of the high temperature alone. The boiling point is reduced from the depressurization. With the high temperatures inside, this is flashing the water to steam inside the meat, which will cause the meat to expand to some extent, and then contract when it gets back to atmospheric pressure. So it's not only drying it out, but it is physically mangling the meat fibers.

    I love my pressure cooker. It allows me to make all kinds of meals in a manageable amount of time, and I agree that the newer versions are much better than the first few iterations. I upgraded a couple of years ago, and the difference is stark!
  • @maryreoneill5166
    Joe knocked it out of the park! He should be a regular because he’s so well spoken and funny!
  • @user-yi2xb6bz1m
    Super entertaining. Not only is it a great lesson on braising fundamentals, but it's also an excellent introduction for anyone wondering if the InstantPot is right for them. (It is.)
  • @annacuevas9112
    We want more recipes for instapot like this from joe! :)
  • I’d love more recipes like this with the instapot and others as well. Like coq au vin, chicken in white white sauce, turkey chili, etc. As a working dad that does all the cooking life is hectic. I have to cook for four after a busy day at work it’s nice to be able to get a good healthy dinner on the table in under an hour that tastes great.
