NB knows what he wants and is taking an alternative route to get
there. I'm sure he will brown the pork, but it's counter productive
to brown it at the beginning when you're cooking it in water. I've
never eaten pressure cooked pork but it makes sense to me because some
people use water to cook their pork first and brown it afterwards.
I've eaten it cooked by that method - it's crusty and delicious. I
have plenty of time to cook and my oven doesn't heat up the kitchen,
so I slow roast/cook my pork in a covered dutch oven. It comes out of
the oven browned and crusty on the outside, but I pull it apart and
brown the individual pieces too because I want them crispy all over.
NB's MIL was from somewhere South of the boarder, he learned from her
and he knows what he's doing. Let him report back before you
criticize his method any more.
