Today’s post is a guest post from a Pressure Cooker Today reader. <\/em><\/strong> Andrea wrote that she loves food and loves her pressure cooker and often times she will pull out her camera while cooking. Luckily for us she took step by step photos of her Venison Stew recipe and she’s sharing it with us today. I asked Andrea to also share a little bit about herself along with her Venison Stew.<\/em><\/p>\n

I love cooking, experimenting, and making things from scratch as much as I can. I do home canning\/preserving. My husband is a hunter who does all his own butchering and together we package meat and make sausage (Italian, smoked kielbasa, andouille, etc). Canning got me thinking about pressure cooking. In February, 2011 (easy to remember since it was an engagement gift) I received the Cuisinart CPC-600, and have been using it religiously ever since. I live a little outside of Buffalo, NY.<\/p>\n

Making Venison Stew in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n

An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create this delicious Venison Stew!<\/p>\n

Laura from Hip Pressure Cooking<\/a> took my favorite venison stew recipe and converted it for me to a pressure cooker recipe. The big thing for me was layering the veggies (potatoes on top!) and thickening it with butter\/flour AFTER it had cooked in the PC.  And that’s when I learned that alcohol won’t cook off in the PC so if you use beer or wine, you need to reduce it first.<\/p>\n

My skeptical husband was a pressure cooker convert after trying this. The mini onions are from the original recipe and Laura kept them in when she converted it, but I never have them on hand so I just put extra diced onions in the pot instead.  I also find that 2 tablespoons of each flour and butter thickens the stew sufficiently. I make this in my electric pressure cooker and it comes out perfectly (I just have to make sure I switch off the “keep warm” after the cooking time has ended).<\/p>\n
