It’s a Colombian cast aluminum caldera, and it doesn’t really have a brand. It cooks amazing rice. I didn’t know rice could be good until I married my wife (who is from that region of the world).

Here we usually use Jasmine rice. Here is how she does it.

Heat the stove to med - med high

Put a spoon full of coconut oil in the caldera

Throw in a cup of rice

Let some if the rice fry in the oil for a few minutes

When the caldera is hot and the rice is frying, add 1 cup of water…no more

Do not stir the rice

Let the water above the rice boil out and leave uncovered for a few more minutes

Turn heat down to low and cover only after most of water has boiled out.

Turn off heat once all water has just cooked off.
Jasmine rice is the best.
 
I made a pot roast the other night. The recipe called to add 1 packet au jus seasoning, 1 packet ranch seasoning, 1/4 cup butter, and 4 pepperoncinis. I did 2 packets of the au jus, 1/2 cup butter, and 8 pepperoncinis instead with the 1 packet of ranch seasoning. It was delicious. The juices from the roast as it is cooking in the crock pot does the rest. No need to add water or anything.

Mississippi pot roast, I make it all the time. It’s quite delicious with mashed potatoes and biscuits.

I can see how that would add to the flavor. Is the rice added to the oil and allowed to fry already cooked or soaked?

The rice fries dry…right out of the bag. You can wash it in a strainer if you want, but don’t let it soak up water. The rice will come out sticky.

How much different is it from a South Pittsburg Dutch Oven?

In Midst of Border Crisis, DHS Releases Coloring Book for Children

pjimage-42.jpg


While dealing with more illegal immigrants crossing the southern border than at any time in U.S. history, the Department of Homeland Security managed to find time to create a children's coloring book.

In the book, entitled Jobs We Do, children can fill in 14 different images that showcase DHS, including one that features a man in a biohazard suit counting radiation after an apparent nuclear attack. Another features an airport security dog. The book was produced by the DHS "Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer."

No public statement has been made on the coloring book's release, the first of its kind in agency history. One senior DHS staffer who flagged it for the Washington Free Beacon called it "laughable."

"It makes a lot of sense that [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is just standing there not doing anything," the staffer said. "But if they wanted to make it more realistic, they'd have ICE handing over families to NGOs to board planes destined for secret locations across the U.S. interior."

I believe that is cast iron? I’ve never cooked rice in one of those, but they do seem to make everything taste better.

oh I see yours is cast aluminum (like this?) rather than cast iron

its like someone is trying to do the most ridiculous thing imaginable.

Ranch seasoning in a pot roast? The rest of your recipe sounds good, but there’s no way ranch is getting anywhere near my pot roast.
 
I like how PedoJoe sent his wife to Ukraine, but he himself hasn't gone. Strong and brave!
