The Pioneer Woman’s ‘Best’ Pasta Sauce and Short Ribs Were Made With This Kitchen Gadget

While The Pioneer Woman’s collection has grown to include home decor, fashion, kitchen items, bedding, and more, Ree Drummond’s brand’s roots started with food. In a recent instagram post, she went back to the beginning by cooking bone-in beef short ribs with what she describes as “one of the best pasta sauces” she’s ever had. And she mastered the recipe using a simple, $59 kitchen gadget that you can find at Walmart.

While preparing her juicy, flavorful recipe, Ree Drummond turned to The Pioneer Woman 6-Quart Pressure Cooker, which is part of the brand’s recently launched linen speckle line with “pretty wood accents,” as shared by Drummond. The pressure cooker works through its convenient touch control pad that can steam, slow cook, saute, and keep food warm. Its pre-programmed recipes can also be used to cook soup, stew, poultry, cake, beef, rice, and more with just one touch of the button, and each setting has a default cooking time.

Those with a larger family will appreciate the pressure cooker’s 6-quart capacity that can prepare enough food to serve up to six people. The appliance is equipped with more than 10 safety features, including overheat protection, a pressure release valve, and a safe-locking lid. While much of The Pioneer Woman’s cookware is available in the brand’s signature teal color or floral designs, the recent linen speckle line is a more modern, neutral option that will match nearly any kitchen aesthetic.  

Shoppers raved over the pressure cooker, with numerous reviewers sharing the meals they’ve made with the gadget. One person said that it was equal parts gorgeous and effective, and said that they made homemade mac n’ cheese by using the steam option, and that it came out perfectly. 

Another customer said that they were impressed by the performance, sharing that it’s a quick and efficient cooking option. They noted that the 6-quart size is big enough for their whole family or to prepare meals for the coming week, noting that they’ve used it for making soups, roasts, and dessert. Or, head over to The Pioneer Woman’s Instagram to grab the exact recipe Ree Drummond used for her pasta sauce and short ribs. Plus, it has a removable pot and is dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze, according to the shopper.
