Pressure cookers are awesome! In Rio de Janeiro, almost everyone has one. Otherwise, you won’t be able to cook feijoada, the official dish of Rio! It’s black beans with Portuguese sausage and pig hocks. Don’t knock it, it’s great! I make this dish when I can. You can use a pressure cooker as a “shortcut” too for making dishes that require long stew times. In my family, we pressure-cook pork for about 20 minutes to make super-tender adobo. This way, we don’t have to wait an hour for pork that’s “fall off the spoon (Filipinos eat with a fork and spoon.)” quality. YUM!
