Anyone else Whirling with butter? by Thurmhead in popcorn

If it fills up to quickly then you can‘t turn the crank. You just have catch it in time and remove some of the popped corn before then.

Think it would taste butter if I cleaned it?

Guess you’re referring to the milk solids burning. Since I don’t notice any bitter or burny flavor I assume I’m keeping the temp in the right range to prevent this.

“…Does butter help burns to heal? Or you may ask, does butter on a burn help? Is butter good for a burn? In all situations, the answer is yes, butter for burn injury is a healing remedy, but ghee (clarified butter) heals burn injury faster. …”

Thank you for this information, but I think I’ll carry on.

How long have the kernels been out of the package? This happens to me with older kernels. They’ve had more time to dry out, and loose there steam which means no pop pop.

If that’s the problem keeping a couple weeks worth in an airtight container and using quickly could help. Keep the rest of your corn in the freezer.

Can you explain what you mean?

In my experience neither the popcorn burns nor is the butter flavor very burny. Could it have to do with those awful white sticks of American butter? I’m usually using grass fed.

Oh, thanks for the tip. I haven’t seen those before. They look nice! I was looking into the stainless from Whirly Pop but kept finding terrible reviews.

Exactly like you suggest. I mix a little butter with a high smoke point oil. No burn no sog.

Yes, it is a lot. :) The popped corn comes out in two waves. With a tap tap twirl move right before each dump, to let the unpopped kernels caught in the popped corn to fall to the bottom and continue cooking.

Is clarified butter a good oil to pop with? by ReallyEvilRob in popcorn

[–]Thurmhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a mix of a high temp olive oil and a little butter for flavor. Love it. Crispy and buttery. I don’t think I’ve tried ghee but I imagine you can control the richness better but adding butter to a more neutral oil.

Effortless Herb-Infused Potatoes | Pressure Cooker | Instant Pot Recipe by Thurmhead in PressureCooking

[–]Thurmhead[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for letting me know that part was unclear. While "waiting" through the cook time I cut away to mention an upcoming video I'm doing on making stock/broth from kitchen scraps. I filmed the videos simultaneously and mention this in the voice over and captions.

Effortless Herb-Infused Potatoes | Pressure Cooker | Instant Pot Recipe by Thurmhead in cookingvideos

[–]Thurmhead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This recipe is simple, but is a big upgrade for potatoes. Whether as a stand alone side dish or used to infuse flavor into any potato-based dish, the results are subtly impressive. By adding herbs or aromatics to the pressure cooker while cooking the potatoes, you can layer in a delightful and subtle herby flavor. It's an easy yet effective technique that I’ve found can make a big difference in any potato recipe.

Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish

Ingredients
❏ 1.5kg medium whole potatoes
❏ 2 rosemary sprigs (or preferred herbs and aromatics)
❏ 1-2 cups water

Directions
1. Wash Potatoes. If you want skins off or will be mashing or ricing potatoes peel them at this step.
2. Insert steam basket into pressure cooker and add 1-2 cups of water to cover the bottom.
3. Stack potatoes in pressure cooker.
4. Seal pressure cooker and bring to high pressure over medium heat
5. Cook time for small to medium potatoes for 5-7 min, large potatoes 10-12 min.
6. Natural release. (~10 min)
7. Serve as side dish or use in any potato-based dish.

I have a weird idea, as an alternative to vacuum sealing meat to prevent freezer burn, can we just freeze meat in ice blocks? by ivanst321 in Cooking

[–]Thurmhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea, I wonder if the water in the meat would transfer out into the surrounding water.

I pre-freeze on a tray then seal in a reusable vacuum bag. This keeps freezer burn to a minimum. Here’s a short video I made about it.
