Default Chicken Pot Pie in the Ninja Foodi


Really, really good and pretty simple to make. It called for frozen green peas
or any other vegetable of your choice. I chose a cup of frozen cubed hash browns
as my addition. It also called for a teaspoon and a half of chopped fresh thyme,
but all I had was McCormick's dried thyme and I used a slightly rounded teaspoon.
Dried herbs are stronger than fresh and I believe I could have gotten away with
just 3/4 teaspoon.

It also called for 2 teaspoons of kosher salt but that is something I do not
stock. I used a slightly rounded teaspoon of regular salt it was the perfect
amount; not lacking salt nor too salty.

A store bought crust topped this pie because I am lazy.

kosher salt is salt by another name, you would never tell the
difference in a dish, it is basically a marketing scheme. Edible salt
is sodium chloride. That means sea salt, table salt, kosher salt, ALL
salt. The only salt that may have a slightly different flavor is
iodized salt.

Bummer I guess no one read my other post.

Whether you can taste the difference or not . . .
Kosher salt is larger grained than ordinary table salt and weighs far
less for an equal volume of table salt. So substituting one for the
other means you need to make adjustment in amounts.

so basically what you are saying is it is coarse sea salt?

except kosher salt may contain additional chemicals. That is not
something I would want in my salt. If the recipe calls for kosher salt
just use coarse sea salt....

Kosher salt is sodium chloride without iodine but may contain
anticaking agents

Sea salt is by far the most natural and best tasting salt because it
contains no added chemicals

I could not get into using a pressure cooker, the cooking options are
too limited, I much prefer an airfryer.

Kroger Salt, Coarse, Kosher
Ingredients: salt.

Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
Ingredients: salt.

Morton Coarse Kosher Salt
Ingredients: Salt, Yellow Prussiate of Soda (Anti-Caking Agent).

Redmond Real Salt, Kosher Salt
Ingredients: Ancient Sea Salt.

<http://www.fooducate.com/app#!page=search&term=kosher+salt>

So, only 1 out of these 4 contains anti-caking agent and 1 even
contains ancient salt. I guess that salt was already around when Moses
parted the seas!

I'm quite pleased with it as non only is it a pressure cooker, it will steam,
bake, broil, and air fry.

Why do you think he parted the sea? It was part of the salt collection
process. Grab a shovel and follow me.

When it's used as an air fryer, baker, broiler, steamer, or slower cooker it
is not sealed like a pressure cooker. It has two different lids that enable
it to be a multi-use appliance.

Let me clarify. Kosher salt is a flake. I believe it has been
through an evaporative process. To my knowledge there are no
additives. I was pointing out that there is a difference when
substituting kosher vs. table salt and vice versa because of weight
and size which you should note since you say you are an experienced
cook to avoid making serious errors. However. Talking about
additives. Sea salt comes from the sea shore and whatever washed up
with it. It would be better to look up ingredients and know what is
in them rather than off the cuff speculation. You are speculating
that iodized salt is the only salt that might taste different.

oh wow that sounds awesome... will it also dehydrate food?

I have been getting into dehydration in the last few days well week or
so. I love dehydrated apples, strawberries, and pineapple is just the
best. I have not dehydrated vegetables yet and any information that
anyone may have would be appreciated about veggies and dehydration
although I have done palazzo peppers but those were pretty easy.

My health food nazi sister in law used to swear that sea salt is saltier
tasting than table salt. While there is a very slight taste of iodine in
table salt (all"table salt" in Canada is iodized), salt is salt. Most of
the salt we get here is mined from old dried up sea beds.

Then again, I like chlorinated water. At least, the chlorinated water
from Detroit. Toledo has pretty tasty water, too. Probably better than
Detroit's.

IMO, that's just a difference of where her sea salt was from.

Case in point....If someone evaporated ocean water here in
virginia beach to make salt, boy would that be full of crap
coming out of the Chesapeake Bay and it's entire contributing
watershed. Ocean water here is watered down somewhat.

Go 150 or so miles south to Cape Hatteras, NC and the water is
much more pure and most definitely has a higher salt content as
it's not watered down from fresher water from the Cheasapeake Bay
watershed.

I don't think that "most" of your salt is mined from old sea
beds. I think *all* salt, is from either old sea beds or from
modern evaporation methods. Therefor, all salt is sea salt.

I buy both. I know people need a certain amount of iodine added
but assume it doesn't have to be all that.
Each time I fill my salt shakers, I switch from one to the other.
I really have never tasted a difference though. oh well

ya know since you mentioned chlorinated water I just wanted to say
that chlorinated water can make a DAMN good cup of coffee. I have no
idea why but it does. That is if your coffee comes from a decant bean.
That instant crap will taste like shit, and that mass produced coffee
like foldgers will taste like crap.

Now I am from far down south and all of the city water comes from
numerous wells and has no chlorine and is often regarded as the best
tasting water. But it just does not make as good a cup of coffee as
the chlorinated water

From what I understand they go pretty far off of the he coast to
collect the water then eventually drain them into pools on the ground
where they eventually evaporate away and just leave all the salt where
it is collected, packaged, and sent to the idiots who buy it<which
includes me>

We like to use Hawaiian salt mixed with red clay to season steaks. It's a salt that's tossed about in Hawaiian ceremonies to ward off evil spirits. Your salt might be kosher but our salt is the real deal holy salt.

Not the ninja, from what I saw it only air frys between the temps of
300 and 400 you can not dehydrate at those temps

I thought that was always the case. So imagine my surprise when I got this
salt from Amazon!

Gotta watch the wording. It is sea salt that is certified kosher but it is
not what we think of as kosher salt.

When the dehydrate function is selected the temperature of the pot drops as low
as 150°. It all depends on what function you are using that what your temper-
ature range will be.

You might want to check out a Korean store if you're interested in salt. They have a wide variety of salts. Mostly sea salts. They have some very fine salts and flaky salts and granular salts. The Korean course sea salt differs from Hawaiian salt in that it's crumbly while Hawaiian salt are crystals of salt. The best Korean salt has MSG mixed in. It will greatly improve your dishes.
