It's more steam than smoke, really.

I hope Jack actually tries to make steamed hamburgers
 
The beans are already cooked. You all you have to do it this recipe in heat it up on the stove as it's just a bunch of precooked canned shit. There is no cooking. Why would he pressure cook it.

Jack mentioned that he usually heats the chili over a stove. He also made a note in the comments that the recipe could be easily adapted for a slow cooker, provided the sausages are browned on a stovetop first. The reward for doing this extra step with the slow cooker is being able to then dump your ingredients, set the machine, and walk away.

When you're cooking chili on the stove or in a slow cooker, you typically simmer the chili at a very low temperature for several hours until the juices are reduced to a sauce and the flavors merry together. Your beans need to be cooked already when you add them no matter what method you use.

Using the Instant Pot to make chili saves considerable time. You also get the "set it and forget it" convenience of the slow cooker, but without extra dishes to wash. Once the onions, peppers, and meat are sauteed, you can set the machine and walk away. Compared to hours of slow simmering, it took only 25 minutes to build pressure and complete cooking. In addition, the Instant Pot has a sautee function, eliminating the step of transferring ingredients from stovetop to slow cooker.

The Instant Pot became super trendy with food bloggers and channels last year (this year the big trend is the air fryer). It does the work of several different gadgets (stockpot, slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker) at a relatively low price (it regularly goes on sale at Amazon for as low as $69). I personally don't own one, nor do I know how it stacks up to other cooking methods.

My main concern with Jack's recipe is that the flavors would not have adequate time to combine, but this could be easily fixed if you make the chili a day ahead of time and allow it to sit in the fridge overnight. This seems like a good idea, provided the chili took 20+ minutes of chilling in the fridge after cooking just so Jack could get a taste without burning his mouth (it still looked too hot, though!).

This is not even chili, this is pork and beans you literally just heat it up for 5 minutes and serve.
 
I meant that question in a deeper, more philosophical way. How is it possible to run a cooking show, and repeatedly do this wrong, and repeatedly get called out for it, and somehow still not understand basic oven logic?

The onions and peppers were still fucking raw. He doesn't know how to properly sautee them. If he can't do something like that which is cooking 101, how do you think he's able to handle the heavier material like cooking something all the way through and you don't need to use a pressure cooker for everything.
 
"It's more steam than smoke, really..." no shit Jack, it's a fucking electric grill you god damn moron.

He also hasn't seemed to have gotten the memo about Teflon. He oiled the bottoms of those onions like he was afraid they were gonna stick (if it was a flavor thing you'd imagine that'd go on the top so it soaks on) and then was amazed when he could just wipe it clean. This shit is just flabbergasting sometimes.

The best part is how he tries to cook a three-pound chuck roast on an electric "grill" (really a griddle), and even admits that he knows it's a tough cut of meat, but still does it anyway. The chuck roast would have been perfect for his Instant Pot video, but no, he wastes the chuck roast on the Foreman, and in the Instant Pot he makes a stew that he could have just cooked in a saucepan on the stove.
 

In this video, Jack pretends that a KFC 3 piece tenders basket is "a meal" for someone with an abyssal stomach like he. He also says he's "not a biscuit guy" despite attempts to LARP as a Southerner for the last few years.

From what I understand, the difference with these tenders, from KFC original, is the Smokey Mountain BBQ sauce. In this video, Jack "reviews" everything BUT the sauce.

I agree. If you're not going to take the time to properly saute the vegetables, then you might as well just dump everything into a slow cooker and save yourself the time and effort of an extra step. Technically, you could do that with this recipe, as the smoked sausage is already fully cooked. That way, you'll still get translucent onions and softened peppers, but the finished recipe won't have the same complexity of flavor you would get if you let the natural sweetness of the vegetables sweat out beforehand.

With the Beenie Weenies, it seems like Jack just wanted to get the food done so he could eat that much faster. It turned out to be counterproductive due to the high heat of the pressure cooker. He would have been eating sooner if he'd just made the recipe on a stovetop, and he'd only need to check every now and then to stir the pot and add a bit of liquid if necessary.

Yeah, he's dumb. But I always hate him when he talks with his mouth full, it's terribly annoying.

I wonder if he even knows how a pressure cooker works instead of just "It cook thing fast". FYI - water boils at a higher temperature under pressure, so it can get much hotter inside the Instant Pot than it can on your stove.

eah, he's dumb. But I always hate him when he talks with his mouth full, it's terribly annoying.

This drives me insane. He thinks he's being polite by covering his mouth when he talks, but it'd be much more polite if you just waited a few seconds to swallow your food before speaking, you fucking cow.

I don't have that specific thing, but I have a fairly typical generic knockoff of it. I don't know how you can beat some device that does a pot roast in less than an hour. It can also turn a couple turkey skeletons or a few chicken skeletons into about a gallon of stock in about the same time so you can make chicken soup for weeks just by throwing in some veggies and herbs.

There is no reason to use special tools to heat up beans and franks. Just open the fucking can and nuke it you fat idiot. For someone who advertises himself as "lazy man cooking" he routinely makes things more difficult for himself.
 
I'm amazed that for all the years he's had his cooking channel he hasn't grown as a cook.

He seems to have zero understanding of basic cooking techniques.

His show shouldn't cover lazy recipes. It should cover lazy YouTube content creation, which here excellent at.

He literally refuses to learn. Despite years of people shrieking in horror when he yet again serves raw, bleeding meat with salmonella all over it, he's never realized you are actually supposed to cook meat. You don't dig yourself out of that deep a hole, you just keep digging deeper, and that's what Jackoff does.

Just as an example, I'm going to quote something from back in 2015.

He is TERRIBLE. That pulled pork was burned on the outside and raw on the inside. Only the top couple of layers actually pulled apart because they were just below the burned surface and thus had a decent amount of cooking.

This describes how this fucking idiot still "cooks" meat.

His method hasn't changed in the least, even though he's repeatedly been told he's wrong.

Even now, any time he "cooks" meat, it's horrifyingly charred and ghastly on the outside, like charcoal, and completely raw on the inside. This is a deeply stupid and deeply fat man.

Why does he keep using chuck cuts for grilling steaks?

Why? Why? Why?

I've asked myself the same question and seriously can't come up with a reason for it. A chuck roast is what you use for pot roast. Or beef stew. Or Boeuf Bourguignon. Or anything that requires a braise over low heat so the meat comes out fork tender and all that connective tissue has hydrolyzed into gelatin.
 
The only good thing about this cow is his habits are so filthy and disgusting and his cooking so vile and poisonous that I entirely expect to be able to celebrate his death when he finally kills himself with his one of his abhorrent insults to cuisine.
