Re: PRESSURE COOKER AND SOMETHING TO CHEW ON

[Guest guest]

Hi I have pressure cookers... well four to be exact!!  I chose to purchase ones from Europe as they are very anti stainless steel there and I have been able to get enamelled one's instead.. I particularly like the Silit ones as they cook at under 100 degrees which maintains a lot of the goodness like a slow cooker... We use them to make fresh vegetable soups, stock- absolutely brilliant with chicken carcases and also with Oxtail.. takes about 20 mins to get the best out of bones...

We purchased ours from a company called Karstadt... however I think that there are some online shops. Silit do not have any presence in UK at all which is frustrating... We also use their non stick skillet and frying pans as they use glass technology rather than teflon.

Have you spoken to about the chewing ?  and have you seen a cranial osteopath?  just that with TST there is expansion of the jaw as as consequence of better breathing and use of the tongue and this expansion, in boys particularly I have found creates noticeable pressure on the jaws and teeth .. the Cranial treatment has released the pressure in as little as a single appointment.

2 QUESTIONS

I always make my own stock by boiling bones etc. If made of stainless steel, would a pressure cooker do the same job as long, slow boiling? Seems to me it would save a lot of time, if it does the same job of getting the gelatin into the stock.

Also - is still chewing just about anything he can get his hands on and teeth into...... one of his teachers has asked me to send an appropriate item to school to try and satisfy this need as she is afraid he will choke on something inappropriate. Any suggestions as to what I might try?

Dear ,

We were looking into pressure cookers at the weekend but then we read in

Nourishing Traditions that they weren't recommended (from memory it just said

that the temperatures were too hot) - so we decided to go for a slo-cooker

instead. But of course, slo-cookers don't save time like a pressure cooker -

but it does seem like they are nice and easy to use and have some handy

features.

Best wishes, Sandy

Hi SandyI think that the Silit one's are very different to the ones available in this country... Tracey

I have pressure cooker and slow cookers.. I have always been told that a stock

should boil, only simmer and that it need to use a long time to reach the simmer

point because then more nutrients will get out of the bones.

I have used the pressure cooker if I needed stock very quick but I wouldn't

recommend it. It taste much better from a slow cooker.

- try going on talk tools website and having a look around there. You may find something that will do the trick. I have used chocolate smelling chewy thing.... so great success in the past.

Good luck
