PRESSURE COOKERS ARE MAKING A COMEBACK

Home Cooks are Realizing the Versatility of the Pressure Cooker Once Again!

-Fact: Food cooked in a pressure cooker retains more nutrients, are more flavorful and are moister!

-Fact: Safety pressure release valves now make pressure cookers nearly 100% safe and they will last forever if maintained.

-Fact: No pot is more versatile…cook meat to “fall apart tender” in 15 minutes, beans in 5-15 minutes, rice in 8 minutes, veggies in mere seconds…

-Fact: Faster cooking means less energy, less energy means lower  bills, lower bills means more money in your pocket!!!

-Fact: Do some research, get a good one, practice and your life WILL be easier, I promise…need I say more.

-Fact: For more info, copy/paste this  into your browser…  ‎en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_cooking

-Fact: Have fun!

BANANA’ FOSTER: THE EASIEST, TASTIEST DESSERT EVER

Bananas Foster

Wanna Wow You Friends At The Next Dinner Party, Here’s How!

Sorry y’all, this will only work on a gas stove!!!

1/2 banana per person

1 stick butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup dark rum

1/4 cup banana liqueur

Cinnamon

Vanilla Bean ice cream

Slowly melt the butter and brown sugar until smooth.  Add sliced bananas to warm sauce and heat for a minute or so. REMOVE PAN FROM HEAT to add Banana Liqueur while turning burner up to high.  SLOWLY bring pot  back to burner as liqueur will ignite. Once burned off, repeat with rum.  Rum will make a much bigger flame!!! Be sure to add rum away from the burner.  Sprinkle cinnamon over flame for sparking effect. Once flame has  subsided, serve over ice cream and enjoy the accolades.
