Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 3 Bay Leaves
  • 3 tsp Salt
  • 6 cups Chicken Diced
  • 6 Peppercorn
Beef
  • 3 Bay Leaves
  • 3 tsp Salt
  • 6 cups Beef Diced
  • 6 Peppercorn

Equipment

  • 1 Instapot
  • 6 Pint-sized mason jars and lids

Method
 

Chicken Meat
  1. Heat your oven to the lowest setting. (Mine is 170 degrees Fahrenheit.) Place all your jars inside.
  2. Boil water, and once it's boiled, place your lids in hot water to sit for a couple of minutes.
  3. Dice your chicken and beef separately and place in seprate bowls.
  4. In your first 3 jars, fill with chicken, 1 tsp salt, 2 peppercorns, and place one bay leaf inside each jar. (Layer the salt between the chicken to get it everywhere.) Leave about 1/2 an inch of space from the top of the jar.
  5. Tighten the lid. Almost all the way, but do not fully tighten it.
Beef Meat
  1. Add your beef meat to your jars with the 1 tsp salt, 2 peppercorns, and 1 bay leaf per jar. Layer the salt to make sure it gets everywhere. And leave about 1/2 an inch of space from the top of the jar.
  2. Tighten the lid. Almost all of the way, but do not fully tighten it.
  3. Add your jars to the pressure cooker. It should fit 5-6 jars. If all of your jars don't fit then place your extras in the fridge until your next round.
  4. Fill the water until the water reaches 4/5'ths of the jar. The lid rim should not be covered by the water.
  5. Press the Pressure Cook button on the Instapot. Let it do its thing.
  6. Once it's all finished, place your jars onto a kitchen towel and allow to rest for another 4-5 hours covered.
  7. Enjoy!
