  • Thanks to her home economics class, a girl is able to talk her old-fashioned mother into cooking the modern way--with a pressure cooker! Starring Spring Byington from Little Women and Connie Marshall from Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.

      Some US states offer it, some don't.
      It's not really the school's place to make sure you can use a pressure cooker or sew on a button tbh. The real shame is parents don't make teaching this basic knowledge to their kids a priority, if they even have this knowledge themselves.
      For example, in recent years, pre-K teachers have begun teaching 4 year olds how to use forks and spoons because they don't use them at home anymore. Parents have checked out, and schools are following it seems, which is one reason why these old videos are so heartwarming. It was awesome when people cared so much about a simple homecooked family dinner.

    Can we all take a moment to appreciate that sink? In the mid-90s we lived in a house with a similar, fabulous vintage kitchen. Metal cabinets and a huge sink with built in drainboards on either side. Absolutely loved it! Sadly, the new owners ripped it all out and put in run-of-the-mill Home Depot cabinets and appliances. I could have cried.

It was how she taught my mom to cook, and as a result I grew up thinking all vegetables were inevitably a disgusting chore to eat -- it didn't help that we were poor, so spices other than salt and pepper were pretty scarce.

    It sounds funny but this film motivated me to finally try the pressure cooker I've had for nearly 2 years, which was still in its box. While the design was quite updated compared to the ones used in this film, the basic method after preparing your ingredients was the same; lock the lid, heat on high until there's a steady stream of steam, then turn down low to simmer.
    I made a pork and onion sauce for pasta using 1.6kg (3 1/2 pound) piece of pork cut into very large chunks. The recipe I use calls for a simmer time of 3+ hours. After one hour under pressure it was done! The meat was perfect and just tender enough to shred with a fork. I had added a little too much water on my first try so my sauce needed to simmer a little with the lid off to reduce down but I was just amazed. Lesson learned for next time.
    To anyone curious or like me a little apprehensive, all I can say is give it a go, as I know I'll be cooking a bit more in the 'modern manner" from now on. 👍

    • @mirozen_
      @mirozen_ 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree! I like the time savings when using a pressure cooker. But what I find funny when thinking about time savings being the big "sell" for the pressure cooker is that I absolutely love the "effort saving" I get when cooking sous vide - which is the polar opposite of the pressure cooker when it comes to how long it takes to cook things! 😊
      Using sous vide I can get results that are amazing along with getting a big window on when I have to serve, as usually things can stay "in the bath" after required cooking has completed with no appreciable change to the food. So as long as I know approximately when I'll want to eat sous vide is likely to be used for a lot of my cooking.
      That said, if things are last minute then an instant pot or stovetop pressure cooker can be an absolute lifesaver!!!
