Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a way to speed up the cooking process?
To speed up cooking, you can use a pressure cooker to tenderize the meat more quickly. Alternatively, increasing the heat slightly while monitoring carefully can help, but be cautious not to cook too fast, as this may affect tenderness.
