Many times over I have cooked beef with a pressure cooker and keep adding water and re-pressuring to get a nice soft easy to chew meat but instead the meat separates and still is very chewy. What else can I do? I like beef stews but not when it is mashed up into stringy pieces.

Sure rice can be reheated. If I am going to use the rise the very next day. I place on the first shelf of the refrigerator in a bowl not the colander. If kept in colander the bottom of rice gets hardened. If I need in 2-4 days I place in the freezing compartment,then on removing immediately to microwave a reheat for 15-20 mins. If unfrozen about 5-10 mins. My mother told me a trick she saw ...

Thanks, Interesting, what will the oil do for the chicken? I know when baking turkey it is recommended to put butter which gives it a brown crisp skin.Also I know that fat(butter) makes foods soft so is that the reason for the oil? I will certainly try this although I like to mix my own seasonings -many herbs,garlic,onions,lemon juice/apple juice salt,pepper.
