Made beef stew from scratch in the pressure cooker tonight. Turned out well, but I think I prefer using the slow cooker for stews.
For one, I need to add a thickener to the broth – it's too soupy. With the slow cooker it always breaks down the starches in the potatoes and carrots enough no thickener is required.
For another? The beef is actually too well-done. I'd like it just a tad chewier. Veggies and mushrooms were perfect though!
