Fusion Cooker Beef Barbacoa
"I did exactly what I would do to make the barbacoa in a slow cooker. I made the sauce in a food processor; chopped up some onions; rinsed the meat and pat it dry. When I placed the meat in the waterless pot of my Fusion Cooker, I realized that my 4-pound chuck was flat and big and it’s a tight fit. But I could still manage to add onions and the sauce. At this point, the question is which lid I should use. I started with the metal lid and the sauce was coming out of the cooker a little. Then, I switched to the glass lid for venting. After 2 hours of cooking at level 3, my Fusion Cooker beef barbacoa turned out like this. It’s all about experimenting, isn’t it? This Fusion Cooker keeps surprising me and I will totally let it. I hope you do too."
