for me, the pressure cooked broth has a roundness at the back of the
tongue that just isn't there with stove top. But, everone has
different taste receptors and tastes differrent nuances.
It is what it is.
There is just one thing that people rave about that I don't understand
at all and that is olive oil -- particularly pouring more olive oil on
a prepared dish. Ugh. There are foods that I don't care for but the
olive oil thing is just plain weird. Corn oil at least has a pleasant
taste.
