Ready in 35 mins???? My slow cooker chili takes 2+ days.. minimum.. sometimes a couple of freeze and thaw cycles too. Is it the pressure cooker that makes the tomato and spices soak into the beans that fast?

Cast Iron Cinnamon Swirl Bread-ATK
I just might try this one. I will cut back on the cinnamon and add a rich cream cheese icing or a ganache.

Cast Iron Apple Pie

Post by Webscout » Fri Oct 13, 2017 2:14 pm

Cast Iron Apple Pie
Image

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

There is nothing quite like a perfect apple pie. However, in the average pie the fruit is unevenly cooked, and its juice turns the crust pale and soggy, making it impossible to slice the pie neatly. Luckily, a cast-iron skillet can solve all of these problems. We started by precooking the apples in the skillet, which drove off some of the extra juice while adding deep caramelized flavor. We enriched our filling with apple cider, maple syrup, lemon zest and juice, and cinnamon. The high sides of the skillet were perfect for a deep-dish pie. Greasing the skillet before lining it with dough ensured a golden-brown crust and made the pie easy to slice and serve.

Perfect Pecan Pie-ATK

Post by Webscout » Thu Oct 19, 2017 7:11 am

Perfect Pecan Pie-ATK
Image
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

What would the best pecan pie recipe look like? Pecan pies can be overwhelmingly sweet, with no real pecan flavor. And they too often turn out curdled and separated. What’s more, the weepy filling makes the bottom crust soggy and leathery. The fact that the crust usually seems underbaked to begin with doesn’t help matters. We wanted to create a recipe for a not-too-sweet pie with a smooth-textured filling and a properly baked bottom crust.

We tackled this pie’s problems by using brown sugar and reducing the amount, which helped bring out the pecan flavor. We also partially baked the crust, which kept it crisp. We found that it’s important to add the hot filling to a warm pie crust as this helps keep the crust from getting soggy. In addition, we discovered that simulating a double boiler when you’re melting the butter and making the filling is an easy way to maintain gentle heat, which helps ensure that the filling doesn’t curdle.

Scalloped Potatoes- ATK

Post by Webscout » Fri Nov 17, 2017 1:47 pm

Scalloped Potatoes- ATK
Image

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

We wanted a lighter, quicker scalloped potato recipe for weeknight dinners. Although we used traditional russet potatoes to form tight, cohesive layers, we used a 50:50 ratio of canned chicken broth and heavy cream to offset the heaviness of the dish. We parboiled the sliced potatoes in the chicken broth–heavy cream mixture on top of the stove, then poured the whole mixture into a casserole dish and finished it in the oven.

Maple Syrup Pie-ATK

Post by Webscout » Wed Nov 22, 2017 8:52 am

Maple Syrup Pie-ATK
Image
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS
For a pie that truly tasted of maple, we found that a hefty dose of syrup was in order—a full 1 3/4 cups of dark amber syrup, in fact. But with maple flavor comes maple sweetness, so we added just a touch of cider vinegar, balancing the sweetness and introducing welcome tang. Cornstarch thickens the pie without tasting starchy. Eggs and cream produce a rich custard, while an extra yolk helps the pie set up for neater slicing. A moderate 350-degree oven ensures that the filling bakes up silky-smooth.

"Why this recipe works" is fine but I think we need more "Why this recipe fails miserably" posts for the upcoming holiday season.
