I've made this in the Instant Pot. It's pretty tasty. Kind of an Italian beef flavor.

This is my first time making it and it already smells much better than I expected. How long does it take in an instant pot?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Bout 2 hours. Needs to come to pressure, cook for 90 minutes, then about 15 minutes of natural pressure release.

+1 for browning first then crockpot/dutch oven, adds an extra layer of flavour to the meat. Makes a big difference.

You leave it on slow cook for 8 hours on low (75C on mine), meat disintegrates by the end. Melts in your mouth. No touching required.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Touch it with your fork when you’re shoveling it into your facehole. If the meat is totally covered in liquid, turning’s not necessary.

If you're doing this in a crockpot you don't have to brown it.

8 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 10

You don't "have" to do anything but it absolutely tastes better browned first - as another poster said it's about the Maillard reaction.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Crockpots don't get hot enough for the Maillard reaction to occur. So, yes, you do unless you want a bland piece of meat.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Having cooked it this way for years now, not once has it ever been bland. So I guess my crockpot defies physics.

It tastes 100x better? I would like to see that math.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

Not 100x, its better, but if your kitchen doesnt have good ventilation its not worth coating your entire house with a fine layer of grease.

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 19

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My stove doesnt have a hood and my kitchen is open to the rest of the house, searing a big piece of meat aerosolizes a lot of grease.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Right. If it tasted 100x better it would create some kind of time ripple in your mouth. It helps give it that edge, but not needed.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

I hear where you’re coming from. If you’re slow cooking you’re browning the meat before breakfast, and the smell can linger

...how do you think you're supposed to brown meat?

8 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Properly searing a big piece of meat like that, you need intense heat, intense heat + rendering fat = greasy smoke. If you dont have a hood+

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

Browning is to seal in moisture - unnecessary if you are going to cook in a crock pot and then shred. But it won’t hurt if you want to.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 6

Nope it absolutely tastes better browned first - as another poster said it's about the Maillard reaction, not sealing in juices.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Browning is never to "seal in moisture" which is a complete fallacy anyway, but to add flavour from the Maillard reaction.

There's really no reason to rub it into the meat when it's meant for the liquid. It's not going to add anything to the meat

Sir or ma'am, how browned you talking? This looks interesting. You thinking just a quick couple hot minutes per side.?

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

Not looking to cook it. Just get some nice Browning/crisping. It adds a lot of flavor.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

It adds a lot of flavor if you're not going to let it simmer in juice for 8 hours. Otherwise it loses the taste.

How is cast iron on gas different than cast iron on high electric? JW, heat is heat, no?

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Electric just dosent get hot enough. Though I've never used induction, so not sure about those.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Speaking from amateur experience here but I have used gas, electric coil, flat-top electric, all in varying conditions. Gas is #1 if 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Coils can be uneven heat and tend to be center hot. Cast iron doesn't spread heat well, makes hot spot in pan. Also can warp a CI if too hot

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Without turning it off completely. But it gets hotter more quickly so I think that’s why it’s preferred choice of chefs 3/3

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If you have good control. Ex: My current apt’s ranges have very little variation in lower temps. It’s hard to keep it low 2/3

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yep, just get some outer browning. Rub with some oil, little bit of salt, hot af pan.

Also in your opinion is 8 hours legit? And is this pot just a crock pot?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I leave mine for longer but just because Im lazy, 8 hours is about right

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0
