Episode 84: Nastassia Hates Coffee

This week on Cooking Issues, Dave takes issue with Nastassias distaste for coffee and, to a lesser extent, hipsters as she heads off to Seattle after the show. He takes listener calls on Memorial Day BBQ advice, pressure cooker recipes, and tips for beet terrine. Find out what Charlie Trotters is like in its final months as a restaurant and find out why home curing ham isnt always the best move. This program was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards and Sons. A great thing to make with pressure cookers is stocks and soups. Something to remember is that pressure cooking drastically mutes flavors like onions. The trick with pressure cookers is to use a minimal amount of liquid. Please dont mess with your microwaves. That said, Ive done it plenty of times. --Dave Arnold on Cooking Issues
