In preparation of an upcoming 5-7 day fast I have switched to a keto diet and bought a bunch of asparagus, cauliflower, and mushrooms.
I dumped them along with meat and bay leaves and galangal into my 22 hour bone broth, which had turned to jello in the fridge, and diluted it with water.
And 1.5 hours of pressure cooking I have stew.
It is not the best stew. The asparagus and cauliflower are too soft. The mushrooms and meat are perfect. It could use some acidity. But I don't care. It took me five minutes to make and it is very cheap and is loaded with power. It is also moderately delicious.
After I have concluded with what is in my fridge I will begin the fast. It will be my 5th significant fast. I have done four 5 day fasts and one seven day fast. My intent is to drop from around 190lb to around 176lb during that period. I will also be testing a theory which I have read, which claims that fat groups can be targeted with group specific exercises followed by cardio, with the logic that the increased blood flow will prioritize those areas.
Careful with pressure cooking. Gelatin and collagen break down if you heat them too much and you lose the benefits. Also, as you noticed, it ruins vegetables.
I'm in the middle of week 2 of strict keto. Down 20lbs mostly water but this times the real back to 170lbs. My sugar was just a little to high for my liking so I need to shed 50lbs. Now that a fat fuck.

Teflon can't handle more than 260C.
Dyking can go up to 500C.
No fucking clue what its made from. Probaby "primarily inorganic composites leveraging silicates, refractory oxides, and epoxy-phenolic matrices"

I know there's a bunch that go on the stove... but I like to turn this one on and have it temp control while I sleep.
afaik as long as I don't scratch it its fine.

Supposedly the Teflon itself isn't the problem but the chemicals used to make it end up in the water and never go away.
