Pressure Cooker Braised Meat Tastes WORSE | Blind Taste Test Proves It

Most people in the keto and carnivore diet world think pressure cookers make better braised meat because they’re fast. Sorry to say they’re wrong. In this video, I run a real science test to find out why pressure cookers often make WORSE braised meat than a slow Dutch oven braise. I take one chuck roast, divide it in half, and cook it two ways: • Half in a pressure cooker • Half in a Dutch oven slow braise Same meat. Same seasoning. Same gravy. Then my wife Ash blind taste tests both to see which one is actually better — and I break down the FOOD SCIENCE behind what pressure really does to muscle fibers, collagen, and moisture. Pressure cookers can make meat fall apart fast… …but “fall apart” doesn’t always mean tender, juicy, or good. In this episode we cover: • What pressure really does to meat proteins • Why higher temperature squeezes moisture out • How collagen breaks down with heat and time • Why speed often trades quality for convenience • And which method actually wins the blind taste test If you care about making the BEST possible braised beef — not just the fastest — this one matters. ⸻ 🔥 JOIN THE BAND (PRIVATE COMMUNITY) Extra recipes, behind-the-scenes, and carnivore / keto cooking: 👉 https://chris-cooking-nashville-band-members.mn.co/share/AaxOGQlS_8fEzant?utm_source=manual ⸻ 🥩 MY COOKING TOOLS & GEAR Dutch Oven: https://amzn.to/49FRYXa Pressure Cooker: https://amzn.to/4sYjua2 Knives: https://amzn.to/4rgEKGp Cutting Boards: https://amzn.to/45rZanp Mixing Bowls: https://amzn.to/4sSGEyB Eat your meat, love your life!
