Going to take a bunch of them to make a meal. You might want to get a pressure cooker.

I went to a wild game dinner at church Sat night. Must've had 30 different kinds of wild game there. Most if it was pretty good. Lots of venny and fish, but some muskrat, beaver, bear, pheasant, duck, goose, rabbit, caribou, and elk too. Don't remember any squirrel. I had a 1/2 tablespoon of coleslaw for veggies to make sure I completed my food pyramid.
Bad news is I was praying to the porcelain god big time at 2:30 in the morning. Me thinks it was the dang cabbage.

that doesn't sound fun. that's why I leave them veggies up to the ruminants, they can handle that stuff. I reckon God gave me sharp teeth for a reason, and carrots and the like aint it.

Mom and Dad used to use a pressure cooker a lot until the occurrence of The Great Exploding Chicken beset us. Mom's cooking a whole chicken in the pressure cooker, and something went wrong because the emergency check valve blew-and so did the entire chicken bones and all right through the pencil-sized check valve hole.
The check valve blew with such force, it went through the sheetrock ceiling and up into the attic somewhere. The entire carcass blew through that little hole. We had chicken piece/parts from one end of the kitchen to the other. Bone fragments were actually stuck in the sheetrock. Talk about a mess. Had anyone been standing there at the time they would have been scalded and possible worse. We never used a pressure cooker again.

If that were to happen today, everyone would have had a video camera and posted it on U Tube. My mother used a pressure cooker all her life with no problems, but she warned all of us about the possible dangers. Mom gave us one as a gift, but my wife was always to afraid of it to use it.

There is a difference between a pressure cooker and a pressure canner. Both work on the same basic principal but are used for different purposes. There are basic safety procedures for both, and the owners manuals will go a long way to getting you started safely. We use both cookers and canners.

I try to learn something significant everyday and this will definitely be the highlight of the month. I honestly always figured sharp rotating blades were used in the process.

We have discussed the mechanical separation of chickens at great lengths and somehow we have failed to consider steam power in our theories. I feel so foolish now.
Something clever here.

Think power. Like the old steam engines and first tractors!

Does anyone ever ponder what the other types of seperated chicken are? Chemical? Manual?

Had anyone been standing there at the time they would have been scalded and possible worse. We never used a pressure cooker again. Ive only used them since deer season ,so Im not an expert, but the owners manuals all talk about making sure the vent pipe doesn't get plugged,and not to overfill it ,so as not to obstruct the pipe. I went to the local supermarket chain last weekend,and bought an entire beef fore shank and canned it,just to see how it would work out. ended up about $3.00a lb, after paying for the bone. next time I may try the stew meat,buy a few pounds and can it.same stuff,just cut up by them,and no bone. round steak looks to be the best deal to can with something else I want to do,is make some dilled cauliflower. I like it a lot,but its just outrageous to buy.

We canned some venison a week or so ago. Awesome stuff. You can make a killer gravy for over french fries.The evil One is getting ready to make a roaster full of vegetable soup and can it. We haven't done that for a while. Fluffy the stew chunks will work just fine. I don't know what the canning process does to meat but it is darn good
