Hi, why do people put nitrates into their corned beed. Wont canning be enough to preserve it without nitrates?

Been watching way too many youtube videos of people making homemade meals in pressure cookers lately and now I really want one. The T fal 8qt caught my attention because the size seems perfect for making bigger batches of food at once but I'm trying not to pay full price if I don't have to. Mostly want it for things like soups, beans, meats and meal prepping so I can cook more at once and have food ready throughout the week. I've seen such different prices depending on where I look, so I'm wondering if anyone has found this one for a good deal or knows where I should keep an eye out.

Ok so I use a large pressure cooker (all american 943) and i live in a house with thin walls and sometimes the people above me move so much, the entire house rattles, like things have fallen off shelves and walls and such before

Would such rattling be enough to shake a hot and pressurized cooker on my stove to the point of it exploding?

I know there's a lot of posts out there asking about the conversions for the instant pot recipe to stove top pressure cooker, but mine didn't work out, so I am asking for help.

The recipe calls for 12 minutes in the Ninja 11-1 Smart Lid multi cooker on high pressure and then letting it rest for 10 minutes before opening.

I heard stove top had a higher psi than instant pot so I cooked it for 10 minutes and then tried to let it rest for 10 minutes, but the little knob at the top was not fully down by 10 minutes, so I couldn't open it. I then waited another 5-10 minutes ish and then it was still not fully down, but I opened it anyways.

The meat turned out overcooked.

Here was the recipe I followed: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DTFrgwnEwaq/

What should I do to prevent the meat from overcooking?

Thanks!

Edit:
Where is the quick release for a stove top pressure cooker?
Mine looks like this https://imgur.com/a/uHXEfaq

Edit 2:
I don't have the manual because this was handed down to me. This seems to be a fissler vitavit royal? from google search (mine has the colorful splots on the body, but the manuals I find say there's supposed to be a 1 setting and a 2 setting... but mine has an R, 1, 2 and 3...

I cooked this soup at the highest setting of 3, because the recipe called for the highest pressure.

I also suppose the manual release mechanism is the same? I just push the button on the handle up?
I'm just worried something might explode if I did the manual release while the pressure indicator was still pretty high up (even after the 10 minutes of natural release).
I was cooking the soup, and when I manually opened it (using the button, I didn't know that was the manual release at the time), it spluttered out. Can I hold a paper towel in the way so it doesn't splutter out?
And is it safe to manually open it with the pressure indicator still high up after 10 minutes?

I'm thinking about getting a pressure cooker. What are the most important features? I'd like to get one that's non-toxic, so ideally with a pot that's stainless steel.

Hi! I am planning to make a cooked salsa recipe. After it is cooked, do I need to water bath can or pressure can it right away? Is it ok to let it sit out over night before canning if I don’t have time that same day or will that ruin it? This might be a dumb question, but I am new to canning. I just ordered a Nesco Pressure Canner! Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hi everyone. I’m trying to buy a Pressure Multicooker for my mom, but I’m stuck choosing between three models or other alternatives. Each one has pros and cons, so I’d really appreciate some advice from people who’ve used them.

Options I’m considering:

·        Tefal One Pot CY505EE0 – aluminum pot with ceramic non-stick

·        Cosori Pressure Cooker CMCCO601SEU – aluminum pot with ceramic non-stick

·        Instant Pot Duo 6Qt (EU model) – stainless steel pot

I mainly want something reliable, safe, and easy for my mom to use. If you have experience with these models (or alternatives available in the EU), I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks!
