Whisky flavoured chicken blue cheese casserole

Whisky flavoured chicken and blue cheese casserole may sound weird but the taste is amazing, especially with some nice Danish blue cheese melted throughout the chicken and vegetable mix. The flat smelt pretty good as the Danish blue was melting in the oven.

Tonight’s dish permits me to exploit my Tupperware Microwave oven pressure cooker and reduce the cooking time while intensifying the flavours of the meal. I love my Tupperware cooking products.

Artwork

I know it’s a bit of a stretch to call this art. I don’t have an artistic bent and even my closest friends point out my lack of skill. My desire though is to improve my drawing. I remember at high school and university, to help me learn I did a lot of drawings. On graduation, I’ve also relied on drawings to help me learn and remember. While few others would appreciate them, I still like drawing to help me remember.

Questions

Don’t you react badly to alcohol?

Yes, I do. I go bright red and I get short of breath. The whisky though was cooked and most of the alcohol should have vaporised. The flavour though seems to be intensified.

Could you have cooked this conventionally on a stove top or in a simple Microwave-safe container at normal atmospheric pressure?

Sure but it would have taken an age and the flavours would not be intensified.

What other advantages are there in using a pressure cooker?

A pressure cooker is also an autoclave and food cooked in an autoclave will be free of germs.
