Crab Boil(ed) Pintos (an expirement) = FAIL

[squirtthecat]

Ok, here we go..

Ingredients: (plus 2 cups or so of water)




Pintos are getting a good rinse:




Crab boil goes for swim:  (Arnie, can you see the perforations in the bag??)




Locked and loaded:




It's done with the 15 now, I'm just waiting for the pressure to come down so I can take a peek.   Might need some more time.  

Oddly enough, the kitchen doesn't reek of cayenne...  So I don't know how much of the crab boil spice bag was absorbed into the magma?   I will be extra careful when I pull the lid off..

[hal4uk]

Oh... it will get absorbed ;-)
Should be interesting!

[squirtthecat]

Beans are still a bit on the tough side...  6 more minutes of pressure.
Interesting smells in the kitchen.

Had a taste.  Yeah, my lips are tingling more than just a bit..

here hal hold my beer whilst I cook us up some pinro's in crab boil

[squirtthecat]

WHOA!  (cough, cough..)

[classicrockgriller]

that will clear you up!

[ronbeaux]

Wimp. I bet that was good!

[hal4uk]

Don't forget to serve each bowl with a dollop of horseradish... and garnish with Jalapenos...

[squirtthecat]

Um, yeah...

Beans are done.  Maybe went a couple minutes too long, as a few started to split:




The taste?  Pretty awful..   I just fed the garbage disposal w/ the entire pot.
One of those "too much of a good thing" episodes..  

I like salt.  Here's a POUND on your potato.
I like Hazelnut.  Here's a pint in your coffee.


If I can find the liquid crab boil, I may try this again.   With a 'splash'..

[squirtthecat]

It wasn't the heat that ruined them...    It was the other stuff in that crab boil.   I can't explain it, but they had a very very strange taste to them.

That bag was meant for 3 quarts of water.  I think there was maybe 1.5 quarts of water/stock in that pressure cooker.
Overkill.

Lesson Learned!

Maybe you just didn't add enough El Yucateo sauce?

Dunno, but this was one of those moments.

You know the kind..

[classicrockgriller]

Did you run wife out of the house?

Might be a "GOOD" thing it didn't work and that you didn't get to eat any .....

You might blow up your work station tomorrow!
