Which makes me wonder HOW OLD ARE THE BEANS?

? Very rarely i get a bad batch that take FOREVER to cook, but with the amount of beans we consume, it is a low %.

I just picked up "Hip Pressure Cooking" from the library, anyone have it?

No, but I've checked it out from the library and made many of her recipes. I'll see which ones we liked...

Pulled pork, same size roast, 45 minutes and it's not done. Not even close. So I'm making an alternative dinner. And putting the roast back in for another 20 minutes.

Anyone ever have any issues with the lid not wanting to lock?

80 minutes to done this time.

Also, the whole fam loves the pulled pork but I hate the meaty smell. I hope they know how much i love them!

You mean come to pressure, or just lock when trying to put it on?

In regards to coming to pressure, yes... I tend to lean towards getting by with less water so I've had to stop and add water a couple of times. I've also found that I can squeeze the lid handles to the base handles and the pin will often set if it's close.

I think this all the time when I cook meat for my fam. And especially when I clean up grease -- so gross!

I won't cook meat. DD is a vegetarian luckily

I also won't clean up the greasy pans.

Is the pin that goes up and down clogged? I would clean that out. And make sure the silicone ring is in properly.

Yeah, the pin would slide back so I could close the lid even though it didn't appear to be stuck. I kept trying abd eventuality it worked. Maybe it was too hot?

it's a safety feature at work.

Mine hasn't locked a couple of times, in both instances, an adjustment of the sealing ring got it to lock as soon as I pour the lid back on.

I strained the yogurt for about 7-8 hours! It came out PERFECT for DH.

This is in the pot now and sounds awesome, from the Hip Pressure Cooking book.

That sounds good. Though, I'm skeptical as to whether the beans will cook in 20 minutes with a tomato product included as that usually lengthens the time!

Beans were soaked and then cooked 20 minutes then NR for 15 minutes. 95% of the beans were done. It was very watery and i scooped out the tomatoes and beans with a slotted spoon and it was fine. I thought it was delicious. I made that and some cranberry orange quick bread for DD so my kitchen smelled DIVINE.

What is NR?

merigayle · « **Reply #296 on:** September 15, 2016, 06:58:40 AM »

In pressure cooking recipes, times are listed as QR or NR which is quick release (releasing the pressure/steam once the time at pressure is up) and NR is natural release (letting the pressure cooker come down out of pressure on it's own).

The yogurt strained pretty fast today and in 4 hours it looks almost like cheese. I put some whey in a mason jar and put the yogurt into glass containers in the fridge and will let DH decide if it is too thick or not.
