Smoked Sausage & Cabbage Under Pressure 

Hey Tammy! Sam and I ate the entire pot of cabbage and sausage. I hope you and your family like it as well as we do.....but you'd better double or triple it!! Take care!

I know you'll enjoy it! TFW God Bless, Linda

Hi Cheryl, try it......you'll like it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey Lisa I've found out from these messages a lot of people cooked them with potatoes. I'm trying to be more sensible about carbs....sometimes, lol! TFW!!! Linda

Hi Estelle, I've never thought about dehydrating cabbage. What a great idea! This is an easy recipe so you won't have any trouble with it. If you don't want your cabbage as done as mine cook about 6 minutes....thanks for watching and commenting! Linda

Hi Belle Glad I could help you out in some way. I know you'll enjoy this!!

Hi Meg...your recipe sounds really good. I would have never thought to add the rice or tomato soup.. TFW!! Linda

Hi Sue I think we share these sentiments with a lot of people. Thanks for watching! I hope you try and like this simple recipe!!! Linda

I love it too! TFW God Bless, Linda

Hi Michael, I'm so glad I could help you out! I have many pressure cooked videos that may help you on your journey, so take advantage of them. TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

God Bless you too :) Glad to see people saying that again!!

I've never been one for political correctness and I'll never deny God. I'm glad to know you approve!

This was a "no go" for those that like crisply cooked cabbage but for me it was delicious. Thank you GoranMak!!!

When I was growing up we had a cottage on Seneca Lake. We spent many weekends there and I have very fond memories....we had great neighbors there...out door movies on a big screen, lobster and clam boils, eating cherries off the tree...summers are short in upstate NY so it never lasted long enough, you just had to wait till the next year....TFW!! Enjoy! Linda

what a wonderful childhood you had, Linda! We enjoyed outdoor movies too! I love seafood, but I've never been to a clam bake. We have wonderful fish in Northern Saskatchewan waters. So, I get to enjoy freshly caught fish all summer long. even though we have harsh winters here, we have hot hot summers, but dry, not humid. My dad did heart research at The University in North Carolina for almost 2 years when I was very young. Oh my gosh....we were like limp noodles in that moist heat. last year, we went to New York for 10 days. it was the exact same moist heat, except we were in a crowded metropolitan city. I thought I was going to faint waiting for the subway. You are such an interesting person. I look forward to binge watching your videos. Hopefully I'll learn more about you and Sam!!!

Probably little by little some of our lives will be told. Oddly enough, it did seem extraordinary to me...you know how life is Julia, full of good and bad, ups and downs. If it weren't for the "downs" I would never have become the person I am and the "ups" are just a bonus. I'll tell you something interesting about Sam. He lived in Hawaii for a few years and playfully played the tueddi (sp?) in Don Ho's band. He also dated a former girlfriend of Elvis Presley...she told him things about Elvis he promised never to reveal and he's stayed true to his promise. I've tried my best to get it out of him, he will not break that promise!!

+Hands That Cook Wow!! We go to Hawaii often, and I have all of Don Ho's music. I just love that era of music. I love the culture of that era. Elvis Presley. ..Aye Carumba. ..Sam is a cool and obviously talented guy. God Bless you both for all you do and inviting the world into your kitchen. 💜

Sam meets no strangers. He COULD have an intelligent conversation with Heads of State, National leaders, kings, presidents or the homeless. He makes no class distinction. I think that's a remarkable trait. I imagine, in his prime years, he could have dated anyone he wanted. I don't believe he was ever aware of this. (I'd love to know which ex girlfriend of Elvis's he dated) He won't tell me that either, lol Thank you Julia, for your kind words. I appreciate it!!

Hi Cheryl, I do have some good recipes on my channel and a lot of pressure cooker recipes too. I hope you'll try many of them and enjoy them. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Linda

Thank you Campbell....I had to take a short break! Good to hear from you!!

Sounds good seattwa...you make yours the way it pleases you!! TFW God Bless, Linda

Oh and I love your channel so I've subscribed...keep the pressure cooker recipes coming :)

Hi Cathy, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! TFW God Bless, Linda

Hi Buck, your additions sound perfect and cornbread is a great addition. I have a wonderful cornbread recipe on my channel you may want to try. TFW and taking the time to comment. God Bless, Linda

Will cook my cabbage this way in my pressure cooker soon ,never tried it that way before, it looks good.

Marie, Thanks for jogging my memory. I've known about this but always forget to use it. TFW God Bless, Linda

Hey Josh I hope you'll enjoy this one as well...we ate it ALL!! TFW...Linda

+Hands That Cook I just got the same cooker last weekend. So far I've tried your spaghetti and meatballs and pinto beans. This is next! couldn't believe how tasty and easy the spaghetti was!! may add a few taters to this one and a pan of good ol cornbread!!

Just go for the gusto Josh...I hope you like it!!

Hey Nik! You honestly make me laugh! This would have been so much more complete with the cornbread (and I wanted it) I don't know why I listened to Sam. I'm impressed that you actually order the Martha White Buttermilk Cornmeal Mix to make it! I'm also surprised they don't sell it in CA. It's good to hear from you dear friend and I hope all is well with you. Take care and I appreciate you watching and commenting. Linda

Meant to say cooked cabbage is one of my favs! I just bought chicken sausage today at Aldi's.

I've never thought about adding potatoes..sounds good. We ate the entire pot of sausage and cabbage and Sam asked where it all went, lol. He didn't realize it cooks down to nothing and you eat more than you think you do. TFW and commenting. Linda

I love Aldi's and shop there for most of my food. I have to go other places if I want something out of the ordinary but Aldi's saves me a lot of money! Linda

I really enjoyed this ...hope you will too! TFW God Bless, Linda

its almost done

YW

Enjoy and thanks for watching and commenting!!! God Bless, Linda

Steph, this message from you didn't show up in the regular comments page. I don't know why. The pc I was using was a Cooks Essentials. I can't remember if they're sold on HSN or QVC but it's one of them. I don't know if it's a 6 qt. or an 8 qt. I have a lot of pcs and the only size I can distinguish is the 4 quart size. I can't tell the 6 from the 8 qt. I wish they'd put the size somewhere on the pot to take the guess work out of it. I hope this helps in some way. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Linda

Thank you Cricket...you're a great cook yourself!! TFW and commenting!! Linda

I've always removed the core. Probably a carry over from the boiling method that I did for years but from now on I'll just leave it in. I'm glad this worked out for you and you enjoyed it! TFW God Bless, Linda

I know I always would help mom in the kitchen and she would cut around it. It was a last minute thing to try putting it in. who knows I may be crazy..lol

I don't think you're crazy at all. I think YOU think outside the box and I like that! God Bless, Linda

It's very humid in Alabama and I live in the middle part of the state, not at all close to the coast. I START thinking about summer in March....that's how much I hate to see it arrive. Now until mid October....summer weather but not as hot in October. It's the humidity that gets me...I hate it!! Thanks for watching and commenting Donna!! Linda

LOL!! It was good. Thanks for watching and commenting Chef!! Linda

Karen, I use and respect Cooks Essentials (my favorite) and Wolfgang Puck (his has just a dial for you to set the time...there are no preset time buttons) both of those have been reliable for me. I've also "heard" good things about the Instant Pot but I've never owned one. DO NOT buy Elite...they have poor reviews and I've had 2 that failed after 3 or 4 uses & the company would not honor the warranty they came with. I hope this helps! TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda

ok..thanks :)

Hi Scott....cabbage, when cooked,wilts down to nothing. You should be ok with any size other than x-tra large....and don't use too much liquid, cabbage has a lot of it's own juice. Use at least 1/2 to 3/4 cups of liquid and you should be fine. Thanks for watching and commenting God Bless, Linda

One last thing if I add potatoes in with it how much liquid.The Same amount as listed.Thanks

Don't add any more liquid and they should do fine!!

Have you ever noticed EVERYTHING is his favorite? I laugh everytime he says it! We finished all of it. It was so delicious. Do you have a pressure cooker?

***** lol yea which means his a man that enjoys all types of food and he isn't too picky which is a bonus. No Hun I don't but I've been looking at buying one to save me time especially as I work full time and by the time i come home it's really late. I will look into different brands and prices

What type of work do you do? Do you work at a gym? That's what I picture you doing.

***** no I'm a business owner with my husband he does engine building and modification. I do the clerical work for him, customer service etc. I've been strength training for 9 years now and I'm looking at doing a course to help people achieve their goals also. We work 6 days a week so I'm all over the place

Ange, that must be so hard on you. Especially with children. And 6 days a week!! I will pray for you and your family. I don't know how you could fit anything else in you schedule!

This was high pressure and unless I specifically mention low pressure, it will always be high pressure. TFW!!!

Hi Cynthia, If you like cabbage, you'll really enjoy this dish but if you like your cabbage crisper, only pressure 6 to 8 minutes. Nothing wrong here (thanks for asking!) I've taken a little break. I hope to do a video before the 4th. Take care my friend!!! Linda

lol....my channel name is Hands That Cook for a reason. I never intend for anyone to see anything but my hands. The picture I use IS me...from 30 yrs ago. That's close enough. I did want to put Sam on the vid but he won't let me so I suppose we're just 2 mystery people for now! TFW !!!

+Hands That Cook it's a shame. I want to see who I'm talking too 😃 But this recipe looks really good & I'm happy with hearing you talk & seeing your hands 😃 I can always tell you're a wonderful lady. Love & Best wishes, Allan ❤

Hey Allan, love you! Maybe someday..

I agree Linda! We would love to have faces to go with the hands and voices we have grown to love!!

Hi Theresa, Your comment just came up so sorry for the delayed response. I thank you for loving us. Right now my decision not to be on camera stands but who knows, I may change my mind someday. I love all of you. You have become my friends and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for commenting and your loyalty! Linda

So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

So glad you enjoyed it Scott. TFW God Bless Linda

Hi Sarah and thank you for watching!!! I hope you enjoy this meal!! God Bless, Linda

I can change up a lot of the time but then again only the left will do! TFW God Bless, Linda

Same with me. Love your videos. God Bless

Thank you Rebecca!!! TFW God Bless, Linda

Hi Love, Thank you for your concern. I have heavier mats but didn't use one for this video. I felt comfortable using this one and not threatening at all. I'll be sure to use a better one so you won't be uncomfortable in the future. TFW God bless!!!

Just put a wet paper towel under it. Love you vidio!😁

No can do!!!

Hi Felix, I have 7 electric pc's....they all don't work the same. I don't know how to edit or I would have taken some of this out. I know pc's, believe me but I did have some trouble with this one. Many of my subs are not seasoned cooks so perhaps I explain too much. Those instructions are for them, not those like you. I've had some pc's that wouldn't program and were sent back. In the back of my mind I'm always looking for a malfunction and not surprised if it happens. I usually don't use presets. I like to set my own time however, I was looking for a preset that would closely match what I needed. I ended up setting my own time, as usual. I SHOULD have brought all of you back and struggled off camera but alas, I didn't. Sorry this bothered you. I'm not a professional and don't pretend to be. I'm sorry this offended you. God Bless, Linda

Dear Linda,I wasn't the least bit offended and I should have been a little more selective about what I said. I was concerned that you might have been a little embarrassed about all the fussing to get things right.I think that you are delightful and a good intuitive cook.

Thank you for the compliment Felix, I appreciate it. I suppose any ordinary person would be embarrassed by mishaps on camera and edit them out, I don't. First because I don't know how to edit but second and main reason is: things happen, I'm not a professional cook AND I can and do laugh at myself. Most of my subs like this approach and those that don't, leave. I'm not going to change, I like myself (LOL) and I only know of one person who was perfect and He's the only one that matters. This channel is rustic in that way and I don't mind it at all. I said all that to add this final note: If I knew how to edit, I would have taken out the fumbling with the pc lid, lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!! God Bless, Linda

Felix Klempka yeah we don't need to see 2/3 of the video for food prep

LOL, I have a rustic channel. No pretense. And you're right, what you see is what you get. I could be your next door neighbor, live in your neighborhood or down the street. We could have gone to school together or worked together. That's the way I want all of you to feel. TFW and commenting!! God Bless, Linda

Hi James and Merry Christmas!!! Yes, I do KNOW what I'm doing but you're welcome to your opinion. TFW and taking the time to comment. God Bless, Linda

Hi Darryl, This is not a tv production and what you see is what you get. I do not edit, in fact, I don't know how to edit. This is plain Jane...watch the mistakes and like the recipes channel. TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda
