    @SpiritOfTheHeretic 6 місяців тому +30

    @10:48 and @14:16 this is not because of the high temperature alone. The boiling point is reduced from the depressurization. With the high temperatures inside, this is flashing the water to steam inside the meat, which will cause the meat to expand to some extent, and then contract when it gets back to atmospheric pressure. So it's not only drying it out, but it is physically mangling the meat fibers.

    Just cooked my entire at Patrick's Day meal in my instant pot yesterday! Meat first... 1 hour, instead of several and the 10 lbs of corned beef was perfect! Potatoes and carrots next in the juice... Cooked to perfection in less than 10 minutes! Cabbage last for 1 minute on low pressure and it was falling apart! The steam from the last cook was pretty much enough. All that and I didn't have to turn on my HOT oven at all!

    Great video. Your volume is quieter than most videos I've watched on UA-cam. It was almost hard to hear you with non-ear-covering headphones (also not noise cancelling) with moderate background noise. Most UA-cam videos would be easier to hear. Don't need it to be blasting, just a tiny bit louder. Just a suggestion for people who are hard of hearing.
