    I wasn't happy with the coarseness of the chili powder I made last november, but with the new dry container for the VMix (thanks to daveb for the connect!) it was trivial to get it right in a few seconds. measuring cup is before shot.

    Individual servings, thanks to VacMaster.

    Original technique called for pint jars, but this is considerably more effecient.

    EVOO, rosemary, and thyme, pressure cook for 1 hour.

    Nice roasted consistency and mild roasted flavor.

    this is actually the 2nd batch. Instead of rosemary + thyme, I used homemade garam masala:

    14 half-pint jars, 7 of each flavor.

    happy conincidence, left them in front of the window to cool last night and as I was getting my morning coffee I noticed they were backlit...

    Looks great. Did you put water in the pressure cooker?

    Yes, about 2 cups. Can you operate a PC without water?

    I know you are supposed to have liquid, but wasn't sure if you used straight water or added anything into it. Thanks.

    ah, I see...that makes sense. yes, I use stock sometimes...like when I make Carnitas. In this case, the liquid doesn't make contact with the food, so I saved a couple quid and used tap water :)
