Alton Brown's show is almost always informative and enjoyable. ATK
usually irritates me, though. Probably something to do with their
chili show, I must confess.

I thought the Good eats Chili show itself was great, but I still
shudder at that chili recipe. I can overlook the pressure cooker, but
"New York" hot sauce and corn chips? That just puts a bur under my
Texas saddle.

Good Eats Pressure Cooker Chili

3 pounds stew meat (beef, pork, and/or lamb)
2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer, preferably a medium ale
1 (16-ounce) container salsa
30 tortilla chips
2 chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle peppers in adobo)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin


Place the meat in a large mixing bowl and toss with the peanut oil and
salt. Set aside.
Heat a 6-quart heavy-bottomed pressure cooker over high heat until
hot. Add the meat in 3 or 4 batches and brown on all sides,
approximately 2 minutes per batch. Once each batch is browned, place
the meat in a clean large bowl.

Once all of the meat is browned, add the beer to the cooker to deglaze
the pot.
Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the meat back
to the pressure cooker along with the salsa, tortilla chips, chipotle
peppers, adobo sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, and ground cumin and
stir to combine. Lock the lid in place according to the manufacturer's
instructions. When the steam begins to hiss out of the cooker, reduce
the heat to low, just enough to maintain a very weak whistle. Cook for
25 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully release the steam.
Serve immediately.

I agree. I thought that episode was the funniest, yet. But, the chili was,
as you say, less than authentic. I also don't like pressure cooker beans.
It's ironic that I bought a p/c just for beans and then strongly disliked
how they turned out. I'm still working on it, though.

Why is it that the psi of pressure is rarely if ever mentioned today when
pressure cooking is indicated? What psi should be assumed? Do most of
today's pressure cookers have only one pressure setting? My pressure
cooker can be set for 5, 10, or 15 psi.

In the previous recipe, given the cooking time of 25 minutes for stew
meat and immediate pressure release, I would assume this would require 15
psi.

In earlier cookbooks for pressure cookers, different psi settings were
deemed more appropriate for certain foods. For example, a lower psi and
greater cooking time was usually recommended for cooking soaked dried
legumes in order to preserve a better texture. Now what?

It's that silly sing-song speaking voice of his, like he's trying to sooth a
bunch of skittish new-age cult recruits. It really grates. I heard him on a
telephone interview once and he talked in a boringly normal voice. I have
no idea why he takes that annoying approach on his show. In his defense,
his recipes are excellent.

I'm sure they are, people praise him. Just, on tv, it's like ... so,
little girl, do you know why we use paper plates? So we can just
throw them out and not have to wash them! Isn't that clever????

I just cannot watch his show.

Missed it, but from what others have said about his recipe, that's
probably all for the best.

Okay, I'm positive this is it. Considering the salsa, I would say
tomatoes. Adding the tortillas instead of (i'm in trouble here)

No and yes. It's a pretty good chili recipe outside of "pure red"
fanatics. Not so sure about the tortilla chips though. I actually
prefer no thickeners at all.

Okay, I'm positive this is it. Considering the salsa, I would say
tomatoes. Adding the tortillas instead of (i'm in trouble here)
masa? intrigued me. nancy

Pressure Cooker Chili Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2004

Show: Good Eats Episode: The Big Chili

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

3 pounds stew meat (beef, pork, and/or lamb)
2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer, preferably a medium ale
1 (16-ounce) container salsa
30 tortilla chips
2 chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle peppers in adobo)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin


Place the meat in a large mixing bowl and toss with the peanut oil and
salt. Set aside.
Heat a 6-quart heavy-bottomed pressure cooker over high heat until hot.
Add the meat in 3 or 4 batches and brown on all sides, approximately 2
minutes per batch. Once each batch is browned, place the meat in a clean
large bowl.

Once all of the meat is browned, add the beer to the cooker to deglaze
the pot.
Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the meat back to
the pressure cooker along with the salsa, tortilla chips, chipotle
peppers, adobo sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, and ground cumin and
stir to combine. Lock the lid in place according to the manufacturer's
instructions. When the steam begins to hiss out of the cooker, reduce
the heat to low, just enough to maintain a very weak whistle. Cook for
25 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully release the steam. Serve
immediately.

No and yes. It's a pretty good chili recipe outside of "pure red"
fanatics. Not so sure about the tortilla chips though. I actually
prefer no thickeners at all.

I thought the Good eats Chili show itself was great, but I still
shudder at that chili recipe. I can overlook the pressure cooker, but
"New York" hot sauce and corn chips? That just puts a bur under my
Texas saddle.

Good Eats Pressure Cooker Chili

3 pounds stew meat (beef, pork, and/or lamb)

ATK irritates me a lot! Their recipes are the result of their own biases.
That's ok if they didn't trash the tastes of other folks. For you it was the
chili show; fortunately for me I missed that one. I suspect they wouldn't
care for Jailhouse Chili. For me the last straw was their Bananas Foster
recipe. Evidentially Brennan's didn't know what the hell they were doing.
Obviously we were all wrong until these folks at ATK set us straight. Pity.

I missed that one, but I certainly know what you mean about their
presenting biases as somehow objective measurements of taste.

I've used more recipes from America's Test Kitchen than any other show.
Sometimes they get a little over the top with the number of steps they
might include; othertimes they handily shorten complex ones--guess it
equals out.

Could you be thinking of Giada De Laurentiis from Everyday Italian? She

Italian, go with Molto or Lydia. Go with Giada for the hiney. LOL Doug

I also like Good Eats. It's interesting to find out the chemistry
behind everything. I'd be interested to hear what kind of degree(s)
Alton Brown has.

BBQ University is good also. I have one of that guys books and it's
prett y good.
