ISO advice on converting a recipe to pressure cooker

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

i've found this recipe.

if i will cook it on high pressure for 20 minutes and then continue with the veggies without pressure until soft will it be ok?
anything else i should know about it?
thank you
..i usually don't eat much beef but from time to time i do..
i tend to buy israeli beef made by Tnuva..
i dont like the company but there aren't many better options..

Don't think you'll gain anything and will probably lose something using a pressure cooker with this.

You might want to mention that "israeli beef made by Tnuva" is a company that cultures meat products. This is lab grown meat.
I have no idea if using a pressure cooker would help or destroy cultured meat.
To me it doesn't make sense to culture tough meat products. It would make more sense to grow super tender type of meat. Possibly this product doesn't need pressure cooking. What does the company say about preparation of it?

There is nothing remotely Hawaiian about that recipe. But it looks prettty solid with a couple of exceptions.

I would not cook lab-grown meat in a pressure cooker. Cook it on the stove so you can check doneness.

If you follow the recipe and use real beef chuck, it will need at least 45 min at high pressure. The carrots and onions can cook with the meat. Then release pressure, check doneness and add potatoes and pressure cook on high pressure for 10 min.

You probably have me on ignore, just a guess though.

Anyway just want to say that Tnuva's main product is real beef from Israeli cattle farms so it's not all lab meat which is still a very small part of their business and the OP never said which he used.

I agree with onedaychef and I would probably just use the oven. And if it was lab meat, I have a good recipe that fits perfectly into the receptacle where all the fake food goes.

That company then, you can buy real beef and cultured beef?
You had said 'made by Tnuva' which sounds like cultured beef. If you had said under the company name Tnuva or supplied by Tnuva, then it might be either.

I’ve made stew in the pressure cooker but stew slow cooked in the oven is much better. Because there is no evaporation in a pressure cooker, stews often come out thin and watery and lacking in depth of flavor.

Cooking in an oven is easier than messing with a pressure cooker. Also, because some of the liquid evaporates, it comes out thicker, richer and deeper in flavor.

Plus you can check doneness, which you cannot do in a pressure cooker.

why the taste deeper? when slow cooking

i'm afraid to use a pressure cooker but if i did, I'd use a recipe designed for one. not adapt one.

It’s literally impossible for an Instant Pot to explode unless the safety devices are broken. My stovetop one always made me a bit nervous, but the IP is a dream.

I agree that one needs to use a recipe written for a pressure cooker, preferably one for the brand you have. That’s until you become very proficient in using it.

I love my IP. I use it all the time. But it’s good at many things and not good at others. Beef stew is something that cooks faster in a pressure cooker but doesn’t come out well, IMO.

tomorrow im preparing it.. i need regular Japanese soy sauce, right?

 

[pictonguy]

Well, the only thing that might indicate it's "Hawaiian" is the soy sauce and without it it's just beef stew, and yes regular soy sauce works or any type really even tamari which is what I normally use.

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

isnt the amount of soy too big in this recipe?

edit..
this time i got marbled israeli chuck

 

[pictonguy]

Well, here's the thing, you can always add more but you can't take away, so......add a little, taste, then if you want you can add more. It doesn't matter if I think it's too much or not, that's up to you.

Personally I would be adding other ingredients to that beef stew if I was making something that I could then term "Hawaiian" like garlic, ginger probably some type of chili, bell pepper, that kind of thing instead of just soy sauce, but that's just me, so do what you think tastes best, because the bottom line is it's you that has to eat it.

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

i've made it.
it's tasty..!
the potatoes wen't very tasty tho.. lack of flavor in them..
at the end there was a black burnt layer at the bottom of the pressure cooker.. maybe because i've used a bit too much flour..

i will send a picture later..

thanks all
love from israel..
