Should I buy an electric food steamer?

Question by Hello: Should I buy an electric food steamer?
How often do you cook with an electric food steamer


Best answer:

Answer by JQuick
I have an electric steamer that I haven't used in about 10 years. That's because I learned that a pressure cooker with a steamer basket is better. A pressure cooker traps the steam to increase the temperature of cooking from 212deg.F. to above 250deg.F. A steamer justs wastes most of the steam that the pressure cooker uses. Plus a stovetop pressure cooker pot can be cleaned in the dishwasher, unlike an electric steamer. A pressure cooker pot can be used as a regular pot without the pressure, so it serves many purposes besides steaming. A steamer is a single function appliance.

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.

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.

What temperature should i cook oxtails in an electric pressure cooker ?

Question by LysLove*: What temperature should i cook oxtails in an electric pressure cooker ?
The pressure cooker I was stuck with today happened to be electric and i'm too scared to experiment and cook on the stove with it . Just wondering what temperature i'm supposed to cook oxtails on ; it has a dial that gives the temperatures WARM 200 250 300 350 370 & 400. Thanks in advance.


Best answer:

Answer by The Unknown Chef
I would do them at 300, for me I do anything like that in a crockpot for 4-6 hours or more, goat, ox tails, beef shanks, pork hocks, lambs shanks and neck, to fast and the tend to fall apart, for an adjustable PC they will take 30-60 minutes that way

How long should I cook my quail in my electric pressure cooker?

Question by CoolRod: How long should I cook my quail in my electric pressure cooker?
I wanna cook some cornbread dressing with quail (instead of chicken) for easter. How long should I cook my quail in the pressure cooker, or stove top? I want some broth left over for it to mix into my dressing. Thanks for your help.

Answer by 1likeu
quail in the pressure cooker?

Seriously?

You're wrong on both counts - sorry.

You don't cook quail in the pressure cooker or on the stove top.

You bake it. Stuff it, place it on chopped carrot, onion, celery, bayleaf, thyme, garlic & a couple cups of broth bake it partially covered with foil & when the thermometer (stuck into the stuffing) reads 150 - you pull the foil off & bake another few minutes like 20 or until the thermometer stuck into the stuffing reads 170 then take it out of the oven - let rest 15 minutes & enjoy!

What size pressure cooker should I get?

Question by suzjoy: What size pressure cooker should I get?
Experience tells me that the largest meal I make in a pot is when I cook corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. I plan to add the potatoes and cabbage at the end of the cooking. Based on a nice average-sized corned beef (that comes in a package at the grocery store), plus the other ingredients, what size pressure cooker should I buy? Of course I'm also puzzling over whether to buy a Kuhn, WMF, Fissler, Magefesa, etc. etc. Thanks! I know nothing about pressure cooking!

How long should it take for an electric pressure cooker to come to pressure?

Question by Heather: How long should it take for an electric pressure cooker to come to pressure?
We recently bought a Wolfgang Puck electric pressure cooker from HSN. It take about 30 minutes to come to pressure and begin cooking anything. Is this normal?


Best answer:

Answer by T.F W
I have always had a pressure cooker and the answer to ypur question is yes it it normal, It depends how much food & liquid is in it, as an example, if you have a cup of liquid and half of the cooker with food it might get up to pressure in about 15 min,when I make stuffed cabbage full to the top with 4 cups of liquid it takes 30 min to heat up the mass in the pot,remember that the inside has to get to boiling before it can reach pressure. (remember not to block the vent hole in the center of the cap.)
