You pressure cookers... What do you use for liquid in pressure cooker or if any?

The best squirrel recepe ever, no question!!!
2-3 squirrels boiled, take meat off the bone, put back in pan and continue to boil, and add a small slice of cured ham chopped or some bacon, add some rice, a couple cans of beans, kidney,black or red or all three, add a couple green peppers chopped, 3-4 jalapeno peppers chopped couple onions chopped ,salt and pepper I like to add a little sage as well keep boiling till it thickens and everything is done. Yummy!!!
Okay, it's really good, but there probably a few recipes, that will rival it. Lol

Cam went out today with his grandpa killed a few more. However we had killed some that were probably grandpa's age! Have any of you guys place them in a pressure cooker before frying them up?? If so how long did you cook them and at what pressure?? Also did you leave them whole or cut them up?? I've never pressurer them to help tenderize the older squirrels we just boiled off and made into dumpling, but dad wants to have a squirrel fry like they use to have when he was young and invite a few folks over, and I rather not break teeth or pull out dentures when people are trying to eat them.

I have cooked them any way you can come up with.Nothing tenderizes them better than the pressure cooker or Insta Pot.

Does anyone cook them with the heads on?

A lot of people around here will fight you for the brains, I've never have had it dad has, he said it's too much work for the reward... he said they were good just a lot of work for the little amount of meat

Savell don't look half bad

… the poster was interested in pressure cooking squirrels prior to frying to make them tender … we answered that .. but since it’s turned into a various recipe thread I’ll pit in the squirrel and deer sausage gumbo which is what I like to do with them

… the trinity

.. chopped garlic

… savoys brand dark roux ( use recipe on jar for quantities)

…equal parts deer sausage and squirrel (pressure cooked & meat picked off bone)

.. brown deer sausage in large stock pot and remove

… cook down trinity and garlic in sausage grease for about 7 minutes

.. add water… stir in roux while bringing to a boil

… boil 30 minutes

… add in sausage, squirrel and Tony’s or two step seasoning then simmer 45 minutes

.. serve over or under rice
