PIP. (Pot In Pot) Tips, Reasons, methods and uses.
I have put together this information to help with common questions of PIP (pot in pot cooking) Including some examples.
PIP…(Pot in Pot) is a method that prevents watering down recipes, prevents sticking and the bowl is ez to remove. Leftovers pop right into the frig, and reheats pop right back into the Pot with a shorter amount of time and cleanup is a breeze. It also allows more than one thing to be separated and cooked at the same time.☺️ For SOME things that need to be reheated, you may choose PIP AND the steam method with the VENT OPENED. Times will vary.
Above I have Beans in he bottom and Rice on top as seen, I have a long legged trivet nestled down in the Beans and the bowl on top. This prevents crowding the Beans and allows for even cooking.
