Pressure Cooker Beans 3 Ways At Once

American three-bean salad/Photos by Laura Pazzaglia

The guest post on pressure cooking eggs was so popular, I've asked the blogger Laura Pazzaglia of hippressurecooking.com for more posts. Here she comes through with an innovative way to cook three different types of beans, each requiring different cooking methods, simultaneously in a pressure cooker. There's some whacky shit in here, like freezing the green beans. But it's fascinating.  Take it away Laura!—MR Beans x 3 by Laura Pazzaglia Pressure cook beans with three different cooking times at the same time with perfect results for each using the three heat-zones:  boiling  on the bottom  (hottest),  steaming (hot), and protecting beans from direct contact with steam in a foil wrap (warm).

HOW: With steamer basket, aluminum foil ...

Israeli Couscous with Butternut Squash

I almost never "do" recipes. I've written a book that if anything is an anti-recipe book. I set out on this culinary journey in part because, as I wrote in Making of a Chef, I sensed that recipes were nothing more than a tease, that the real cooking lay beneath the recipes. This is not to say that recipes are bad. Say you made a really killer stir-fry and wanted to be able to do it over and over, or you wanted your best friend to give it a try, you'd want to follow a recipe. If you want to recreate a dish, you need a recipe. I could probably make a decent oatmeal raisin cookie just by figuring it out, but I'd feel better at least glancing ...

Do-over: Charleston, Eve, & Grits

Shrimp and grits. photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman

One of hard things about writing books is that they are in constant flux and then they are permanent. Thanks to the organic nature of blogs, I can make amends. When I was at the Culinary Institute of America, one of my best and favorite teachers was Eve Felder, who taught Garde Manger. She was the Cheshire Cat of chefs, perched high on stacked stools, who taught us that "Cooking is alchemy, cooking is magic!" And she was right. Righter than I knew, in fact. I'm heading to her native city, Charleston, South Carolina, and so she's been on my mind. When I wanted to do a butter-poached shrimp for Ruhlman's Twenty, I naturally wanted to pair it with grits. Who did I call for grits finesse ...

Homemade Potato Chips

Homemade Potato Chips/photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman

What are the most special things we can cook? I contend the most special preparations are not those that are most difficult, time-consuming, or use the most expensive ingredients, but rather the ones that result in food we can't buy. I can make bread, and it's really good, and fun to bake and fills the house with a great aroma.  But it's not going to be as good as the baguettes I can buy at On the Rise bakery. A preparation such as mayonnaise, however, that's different. You can't buy mayonnaise that's as good as mayonnaise you make. It doesn't exist. Potato chips are another such food. I like Lays potato chips just as I like Helmann's mayonnaise, and on a Saturday afternoon, if I want a quick sandwich and chips, ...
