I wanted to try something different today just to see how it did. I took a lb of lean ground beef (96/4) I got at the store this morning and flaked it apart into a colander. I then placed the colander over a glass bowl and put the whole thing into my pressure cooker/caner. I pressure cooked it at 10lbs for 90 minutes and when I took it out of the caner it was some amazing stuff. Perfectly cooked and "almost dry". ( I think I could have gone with less time )
I then put it in the dehydrator and the stuff dehydrated in nothing flat. It looks like gravel but the stuff is great to eat, just like it is. Its not at all hard on the teeth, even un-hydrated. I think it will be a great addition to some trail dishes.
the glass bowl had all the blood and what little grease was in the meat. I was surprised that the blood didn't coagulate with the meat but It was like the pressure cooker squeezed all the blood and grease out. Really cool!
