Can I fry chicken in a pressure cooker?

Question by chiquita: Can I fry chicken in a pressure cooker?
This question was asked a year ago and didn't get any real responses. Wondered if anyone out there knows? If so, how its done.


Best answer:

Answer by yonitan
you can, but what comes out doesn't look much like chicken. i have done this for stocks /broths before, but never for a meal's main course. you just put some chicken in with water and seasonings then cook for like an hour (like i said, i usually only do this for chicken stock)

Would your blood boil on Mars?

Question by Rob L: Would your blood boil on Mars?
I might be wrong here, but I was under the impression the atmospheric pressure on Mars was so low that water can not exist in its liquid state, and an unprotected human would literally have their blood boil if not inside a pressurized suit. Is this accurate?
Xandra: we have frozen water on Earth, too, in the coldest regions. The ice we've found on Mars is in Mars coldest regions. I'm thinking more like on the equator, where it can be up to 70 degrees.

Answer by eddygordo4life
Your skin would melt before the heat could reach your skin.

but yes, if your skin could handle it, your blood would boil.

Food & dining supplies?!?!?

Question by M: Food & dining supplies?!?!?
My boyfriend is living in a detached garage so he's been eating take-out a lot, which has, lately, been causing health problems (obviously.)

We're going to get some supplies so he can eat healither. As of now, he only has a grill and a kettle.

Anyone have any simple healthy recipes and what we can get (electric skillet, countertop oven, etc etc) to make healthy stuff?

I need a list of essentials


Best answer:

Answer by JQuick
If you get a countertop oven, get an oversized convection oven since it works even better than a regular oven for most baking. An electric burner and a 3-4qt pressure cooker is very practical. Learning how to use a small pressure cooker will save a lot of time and energy. You can make rice in less than 10 minutes, and most veggies faster than that. You can buy inexpensive meat like chuck and round, whatever's on sale, to tenderize the meat in less than an hour for chili, stews, soups, potroast, and desserts like rice pudding. Stews would normally take 2-3 hours. A pressure cooker also helps to ensure that chicken is cooked properly. I suggest the Magefesa Practika Plus or the Fagor Rapida/Splendid 2-in-1 models, which I use personally.

Lowe's sells a 4.4 cu. ft compact fridge for under $ 300 that is great for small rooms. Unlike most compact fridges, it has a separate freezer compartment that's frost free. It's big enough to be useful, but a lot smaller than a regular fridge. I have 3 of them, one for myself and two for roommates. You can get a 10% off Lowes coupon at most US Postoffices in their moving pack coupons.

Electric oven keeps items under pressure. Like using a pressure cooker. Electric oven consumes less electricity. Temperature in oven at anytime is constant. Electric tanduri is like an open stove.. Consumes more electricity and temperature varies.

What engineering major should I study?

Question by Yuvraj: What engineering major should I study?
Hi,
I'm looking to study engineering at Penn State University. I applied, and got accepted to the College of Engineering (Mechanical engineering).
However, students don't declare majors until after the first two years, and the engineering curriculum is more or less the same in that time (chem, phys, calc, GEs, etc.)

Penn State has A LOT of options, and I'm not sure if mechanical engineering is enough, or if it's too broad. I'm really interested in getting into the energy industry- renewables, natural gas, etc. (not quite sure yet) and of course, I'd like to have good employment opportunities after college.... and good pay.

Basically, what I'm asking is what would be the best course of action. PSU has energy engineering minors (petrol/natural gas engineering, nuclear, energy, energy business/finance, just a general energy eng. minor, etc.) as well as energy engineering Majors, as part of the earth and mineral sciences college, not the college of engineering. They also allow dual majoring.

Should I switch majors from mechanical eng. to energy eng.? What about other conventional engineering majors (chemical, electrical, etc.)?
Or should I do mechanical with a minor or concentration in energy? What energy sector should I specialize in? What has the most growth and will be most attractive to employers? I know natural gas is supposed to be a booming industry in the next decade.

And for anyone who studied energy eng in school, or is involved in the energy industry, whats your job like?

Also, any other tips for a high school senior looking to study engineering are GREATLY appreciated (interning, research, etc.).

Thank you so much.


Best answer:

Answer by Sabotage
It depends on what you like to study. Because some people major in chemical engineering because they love both chemistry and math.

Can someone answer my question?

Trying to decide what kind of pressure cooker to buy, stovetop or electric?

Question by cunnys_bunny1: Trying to decide what kind of pressure cooker to buy, stovetop or electric?
I thought about electric as that way you can go out and leave it but wonder if that would be safe leaving it on the stovetop? Pro's and cons of each would be great?

Also which brand to buy? I would rather pay extra and get something that will last.

Any hints/tips would be appreciated :)


Best answer:

Answer by cjvw622
Google consumer reports or just "top rated pressure cookers". You'll find a lot more well-researched info that way. Also you can try America's Test Kitchen because they do a great job of rating equipment. However, they also want you to join the site so not everything is free.
