What You Should Pressure Cook Tonight, According to Martha Stewart

Cookbookmarked! is our new series where we review the latest cookbooks from the foodie influencers you follow. Check back often to find out which new releases are worth your hard-earned cash and the recipes you should try first from each.

It would be an understatement to say pressure cookers, slow cookers, and all-in-one multi-cookers like the Instant Pot are having a moment, so it makes sense Martha Stewart is providing fans with several goods to fuel their obsession. She just released a cookbook, Martha Stewart’s Pressure Cooker ($26) in August, plus Martha & Marley Spoon, her meal delivery service, is featuring one Martha Stewart pressure-cooker recipe a week through October 1. As if that’s not enough, she’s gearing up to launch her own 14-setting multi-cooker, The Martha Stewart Everything Pressure Cooker ($120), available November 7 on QVC and late November on Amazon.com. Because of these exciting new projects, we had a chance to speak to Stewart about pressure cooking and to share one of the cookbook’s mouthwatering recipes with you.

Since pressure cookers have been around for several decades, we had to know why America is so enticed with the technique, particularly now. Stewart explained, “Well, T-I-M-E and lack of. We are all trying to pack in so much. And that little thing you’re holding in your hand [i.e., cell phone] has taken away most of our time. We’re looking at Instagram and not thinking about cooking. I thought that the internet would save us time to do other things, when actually it’s the opposite. But I really believe [the multi-cooker is] a time saver, and we need one.” According to Stewart, her Everything Pressure Cooker cooks up to 70 percent faster than the stovetop. That means a 20-minute one-pot recipe could potentially pressure cook in a mere six minutes.

As for her fave meal to pressure cook from the new cookbook, it’s the Arroz Con Pollo (rice with chicken). We tried it at home and could not believe how quickly it all came together. Plus, we had plenty of downtime to do important things like, er, scroll through Instagram and catch up on our fall TV queue. Find the recipe below, then pick up the new cookbook to take a look at her favorite dessert, English Plum Pudding.

arroz con pollo

(Serves 4-6)

Recipe Notes: We had a really hard time finding the annatto paste the recipe calls for. Your best bet is to get that on Amazon ahead of time. We improvised by combining annatto powder and chili paste.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 pounds (8 to 10 pieces) bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks and thighs
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons annatto paste (we like El Yucateco)
  • coarse salt
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups long‐grain white rice
  • 1/4 cup pitted green olives, quartered if large
  • fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a 6‐ to 8‐quart stovetop pressure cooker over medium‐high or in an electric pressure cooker set to sauté. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, flipping halfway through, about 8 minutes total; transfer to a plate.

2. Add onion, green and red bell peppers, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Crumble in annatto paste and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Return chicken to cooker along with any accumulated juices, and turn to coat with vegetables. Stir in the water and bring to a boil. Stir in rice and olives.

3. Stovetop: Secure lid. Bring to high pressure over medium‐high heat; reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let pressure decrease naturally for 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure, then remove lid.

Electric: Manually set cooker to 12 minutes and let it come to pressure. Once time is complete, turn off, quickly release pressure, then remove lid. If rice isn’t fully tender, close lid to let rice continue to steam, 5 to 10 minutes.

4. Top with cilantro leaves, if using, and serve.

What's the difference between a slow cooker and a crock pot?

Karolina Kaboompics / PEXELS

A slow cooker and a crock pot are essentially the same thing. The Crockpot brand is a type of slow cooker – the appliance became popularized after their release in the 1970s. The terms are often used interchangeably, but refer to the same thing. They'll both make amazing crock pot recipes!

What is the best meat to slow cook in a crock pot?

Geraud Pfeiffer / PEXELS

Tougher meats like beef brisket, chicken thighs, pork shoulders, and short ribs are the best meats to slow cook in a crock pot because all of them become super tender. If you want to dig into a super soft, meaty bite, try out these types of meat. It's the perfect way to elevate crock pot meals!

Can you put raw meat in a crock pot?

Isaac Taylor / PEXELS

You can cook raw meat in a crock pot, but it’s important that you leave it in the pot long enough for the meat to fully cook. If you don’t feel comfortable eyeballing the process, using a meat thermometer can give you an easier, more accurate reading on whether your meat is done or not.

Welcome to November 2024! It’s official, everyone. We are cleared of the eclipse season and approaching the holiday season and Election Day. The collective is stirring with anticipation, awaiting the next course in our journey. Breathe. Tensions are especially high due to the major polarity brought on by the collective planet Pluto's re-entry into Capricorn just months ago. The tides are expected to change as the regeneration planet regresses into Aquarius for good.

You may be thinking, “What’s in it for me?” Aligning with the cosmic flow will bring more peace, understanding, and balance in your everyday life. Scorpio season is in full swing, and it beckons you to begin analyzing your internal landscape, desires, and control. You'll improve the world by grasping the importance of revitalizing your inner self. Believe it or not, you're the main character of your story, and your light contributes more than you know. This November highlights this part of your narrative. Are you ready to learn what is in store for you this month? Read on for your sun, moon, and rising November horoscope below.

Themes For Your November Horoscope In 2024

Brian Yurasits

This month kicks off with the New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st, helping you see how you're being of service to yourself and others. Due to Scorpio's vibe of death and regeneration, this lunation will also materialize the importance of “clearing out” from the old. Remember last month’s solar eclipse?

This New Moon in Scorpio extends the path for you to turn over a new leaf and actualize your desired changes. Make a move.

The communication signals will power up as Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 2nd, manifesting a feeling of warmth and hope in our messages. The dialogue exchanged will be inspiring and educational.

Share information that will benefit others. You'll experience serendipitous moments as you give back.

Our drive and bravado will turn up as the motivator planet Mars enters Leo on November 3rd. Our self-worth will drive passion and desire. Step forward and claim your desire.

Patricia Luquet

Create your masterpiece and watch it come to life. Believe.

Love will shift to rationality and structure as Venus shifts into Capricorn on November 11. These next several weeks will help you gauge more accordingly with long-term plans and practical concerns. It will also invoke a more grounded approach to romance and dating.

Slow and steady builds stronger foundations in love.

On November 15th, the Full Moon in Taurus illuminates the sky, highlighting the importance of taking the reigns through a measured approach. With the rebel planet, Uranus, in alignment with this full moon, it will stir up massive changes involving our narrative and how we are playing our part in our storyline. It can lead to impulsive moves, so remember to be intentional. The great news is that Saturn, the structure planet, is direct today, bringing more clarity regarding our direction.

Ahmed ツ

Brilliance awaits as you hold steady.

Buckle up! On November 19th, Pluto ingresses into Aquarius, settling into this future-oriented sign. Anticipate significant technological advancements, including refined artificial intelligence, quantum computing breakthroughs, renewable energy innovations, and immersive virtual reality experiences. Side note: VR Games like Supernatural(I'm a BIG fan!) are revolutionizing workouts, allowing people to exercise in other worlds while engaging with a supportive community for weight loss, endorphins, and positive accountability. As you visualize your ideal paradigm, Pluto will guide you toward the tools or necessary changes to attract your desired results. Embrace this transformation and let go of outdated constructs, paving the way for a brighter, more interconnected future.

Happiness and fulfillment await those willing to adapt and grow.

This month ends with the Sun in Sagittarius on November 21 and Mercury Retrograde on November 25. Sagittarius season invokes wanderlust, adventure, and growth. Remember that you'll reign this season as you remain open-minded to new concepts and ideas.

Close-mindedness and dismissiveness of others' input lead to dead ends.

As we conclude working with Mercury’s backspin this month, steer clear of making traveling plans (like booking a ticket/itinerary), launching a business, or signing contracts. Plus, it will help you streamline your messages, think through your personal beliefs, and change your attitudes towards life. Going through reflection will help you gravitate toward your desired outcomes.

Which signs will be most affected in November?

Juliane Monari

As we journey through November 2024, Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, and Sagittariuswill each feel the cosmic waves uniquely. Scorpios will harness the transformative energy of the New Moon to reflect on their desires and initiate powerful changes. Taurus will be called to acknowledge new narratives during the Full Moon, prompting them to take control of their path and make intentional decisions. Aquarians will experience a significant shift as Pluto settles into their sign, inviting them to envision a brighter future and release old patterns that no longer serve them. Meanwhile, Sagittarians will be inspired by the Sun’s entry into their sign, igniting a sense of adventure and growth. However, they should navigate Mercury's retrograde carefully to avoid miscommunications and hasty decisions. Allow these energies to guide you toward a more fulfilled and intentional existence this month!

If you own an Instant Pot, you know just how valuable the modern pressure cooker is. It saves you time, money, and tons of effort when preparing everyday dishes. The device can be a bit daunting, though, when figuring out what recipes to make and how to make them. That's where these beginner Instant Pot recipes come in!

What should you not cook in an Instant Pot?

Brit + Co

Is Instant Pot just as good as slow cooker?

Brit + Co

The Instant Pot is great for when you're short on time, whereas a slow cooker might require more attention since you typically cook food all day long in it. Each appliance is relatively easy to use, but if you want to whip up something quick, the Instant Pot might be better than a slow cooker.

Before 2023 ended, Selena started leaving comments on Instagram that suggested she and Benny Blanco were in fact together. One of the comments she left appear on this Instagram fan page and it reads, "He is my absolute everything in my heart."

Some fans weren't so thrilled to see the two together though and they weren't afraid to express their opinions. But, this only prompted Selena to leave more comments that defended her relationship with Benny.

People grabbed a screenshot of one of the comments Selena responded that revealed the couple had been together for a while. "Not mad. It’s been 6 months bb. I will always defend my friends, family and fans till the day I die," she wrote. They even shared another screenshot from Selena's Instagram Story that showed her wearing a "B" ring on one of her fingers.

In an interview with WSJ, Benny Blanco gave his POV of how his relationship with Selena Gomez began and it was the cutest revelation. "It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes...And then you have a Clueless moment where you're like, Wait, I'm in love," he says.

It looks like Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's relationship may be ready for the next step — that's if you ask Mr. Blanco. He appeared on The Howard Stern Show yesterday to chat about everything, including his relationship with Selena. When Howard Stern asked, "You want to have kids with Selena? Have you told her you want to have kids yet," Benny replied, "That’s my next goal, to check the box. I have a ton of godkids. I've got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids."

However, he's not in a rush and wants everything to happen naturally. All that matters is that the two of them are in each other's life. He said, "I just know that when I look at her, I just say, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’ That’s what I always say to her.”

Selena Gomez tells TIME just how much Benny Blanco means to her — no matter what anyone else says. "My own fans, who I adore and feel like have shaped who I am, will say the most hurtful things to me about how I live my life," she says. "But he has the strength in him that none of that noise fazes him. It’s really impressive, and I just cherish every moment with him. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that he’s not going anywhere any time soon.”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco looked amazing in their Alice in Wonderland couple's Halloween costume. "Curiouser and curiouser," Selena wrote on the post, which is totally reminding us of Taylor Swift's 1989 (hello "Wonderland"!!!).

Selena wore a corset dress in what looks like slate blue with cap puffed sleeves and a tulle skirt, along with a blonde wig, black bow, and slingback shoes. Benny went all out as the Mad Hatter with face paint, a wig, a top hat, and a waistcoat. We'd follow them down the rabbit hole!

Gretchen Weiners' hair might be full of secrets in Mean Girls, but in Amanda Seyfried's new movie, her life is full of secrets. The Housemaid, based on the novel by Freida McFadden, follows Millie (played by Sydney Sweeney), who's down on her luck and in desperate need of a fresh start. When she snags a job as a housemaid in Nina's (Amanda Seyfried) beautiful home, it looks like things are finally moving in her favor. But all is not as it seems — and it doesn't take long for Millie to realize Nina's secrets are the most dangerous thing about her.

The book, which has sold over 3.6 million copies, has been on the New York Times Bestseller list for over a year and Amazon's Bestsellers list for 98 weeks (talk about popular). It was also the second-most-read title on Kindle for their 10th anniversary, so it's no surprise that the story is getting its own adaptation. Here's everything you need to know about The Housemaid starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar.

  • The Housemaid by Freida McFadden is getting the movie treatment.
  • Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney will star as Nina and Millie, respectively, while Brandon Sklenar will star as Andrew.
  • Seyfried promises fans "I'm gonna do you well."

So I'm here to tell all the fans that I'm gonna do you well."

"I can’t even express how excited I am to announce that #TheHousemaidMovie is coming soon!!!" McFadden said in an Instagram post.

Yes, Deadline announced on October 8 that The Housemaid would become a film, thanks to Hidden Pictures and Lionsgate. Paul Feig will direct, Rebecca Sonnenshine will write the script, and Todd Lieberman, Laura Fischer, and Feig will produce while Alex Young, author Freida McFadden, Sydney Sweeney, and Amanda Seyfried will executive produce.

“I’m thrilled to have The Housemaid join our upcoming slate,” said Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. “A great filmmaker and a great cast with a great script from a great book is a terrific place to start.”

“Part of the fun of the book was imagining the cast while we read it, and Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried are perfect for Millie and Nina – they’re both mysterious, nuanced, and incredibly skilled at becoming characters who don’t reveal everything right away,” said Erin Westerman, co-president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.

The Housemaid Plot

Millie has one more chance at starting over, and taking a job as a housemaid for wealthy couple Nina and Andrew is the perfect place to start. But as she cleans, cooks, and takes care of their daughter, Millie quickly realizes her employers are far from perfect — even if they'll do anything to keep up appearances.

How many books are in the series The Housemaid?

Amazon

Freida McFadden has three books in The Housemaid series: The Housemaid, The Housemaid's Secret, and The Housemaid is Watching.

Is The Housemaid spicy?

There is some sex and violence in The Housemaid, but it's not as overwhelming as some other popular books on the market. One Goodreads user compares the content to what you'd watch in Law & Order: SVU or Criminal Minds. If you're concerned about one of your preteens reading this book, you could always read it first, or start a bookclub and read it together!
