  1. @UnicycleSam Cool! Do you remember what settings you used? I'm not finding the #AirFryer to be the miracle device that the #InstantPot has been for me for quite a few years already. However, I'm quite happy with the results for the specific things that I've used it to do. I made a phenomenal aloo gobi a few days ago, and I'm sad that I didn't make more. It was very easy.

  2. i'm tempted to take an entire instant pot filled with food with me through security and boarding, as my personal item on the plane tomorrow hehe #instantpot

    I think that I've only purchased stainless steel (or cast iron) cookware for a very long time, so I don't think I'd need anything new. Most was low-cost from IKEA, where I've purchased almost all of my household goods. I cook on electric, and I use an #InstantPot #AirFryer and other appliances more than I use the stove. I almost never use my oven! Anyway, there's a great variety of ways to get cooking done these days!

  4. CW: Food

    @commonst Nice! Fish steams nicely in different vessels. I’ve used my #InstantPot for salmon. Since I usually freeze large bags of lemons, they get added, along with garlic and dill.

  5. @sunumbral Unless I’m staying in the kitchen, chopping or mixing, I rarely cook anything that requires timing. Eggs and potatoes get “boiled “ together in the #InstantPot. Meats get cooked there or in the newly acquired #AirFryer. I am all about set’n’forget.

  6. Woo hoo another #TipOfDay. It’s been awhile. This is about Instant Pot and racks and even boiled eggs easy to peel. After years of being happy to get 8 or so perfect boiled eggs in the 5-5-5 method, finally branched out to, get THIS, 15, by using racks inside the IP to double stack. #InstantPot #Eggs #Racks #Cooking

    Tricky to stack so they don’t touch and potentially crack. I cook so eggs have bright golden yellow yolk with no gray tinge and not over-under cook. I now mix and match a 1” tall silicone rack with a tall wire rack above. Turn the eggs to point away from each other to make sure none touch in process. Photos current racks and the unused ones nearby in the basin used for cooling eggs in water and ice afterwards.

    There’s a lot going on in that story

    We really need the delayed #VultureEmoji

    Totally unethical capitalists buy #InstantPot

    Close local plant in district that all voted Republican 🙄

    Try to sell #MAGA branded crap to bribe Trump

    Not called “bribes” because #USpolitics where money = speech 🎤

    But Trump Inc. (an extraction industry not a presidency) threatens litigation if it doesn’t control who uses the brand to make the money💰

    And no more good old #pyrex from that plant

  8. @DoomsdaysCW
    Sad that the Canadian #InstantPot brand grew too fast and got bought by vulture capitalist MAGA supporters

    They seem to have backed off before they released any imagery, so there’s no damning pics to go with the stories

    Oh, and I wrote to the #InstantPot people and they basically said, “It’s past warranty but a new one”

    Which given they’d just tried to release a #MAGA branded version I decided to get a used one for $30 which has worked fine since then

    The world will probably never run out of used low-end Instant Pots

  10. @DoomsdaysCW
    So sad one button on my #InstantPot failed so the whole thing seems a loss

    They don’t sell replacement panels or whatever would be needed to work around the one failed button

    And I don’t know how to open up those flat waterproof bubble keyboards to even look at the failed key

    I assume it’s all glued in

  11. Multiple activities today:
    #MeMadeMay: a repeat of yesterday's outfit with my Moss Jacket added and repaired/shortened leggings underneath
    #YegBike Took the 83rd Ave. bikelanes and grabbed coffee & small grocery order. I made what felt like a summer supper: corn on the cob in the #InstantPot, grilled cheese sandwich in the air fryer with veggies.
    #The100DayProject: cut out a shorter and smaller pair of Chanterelle Pants out of a gorgeous, gifted Japanese cotton. Directional print!

    I usually need to wash my #InstantPot ASAP after using it because there's a queue of other foods it needs to be used for. I think it's garbanzo time again.

  13. @Giselle
    I suspect that you were disappointed in the flavour because you made it in the slow cooker. In my experience, that cooking method doesn't generally allow you to enjoy all of the herbs and spices that you add. Those flavours seem to disappear over the hours. In the # #InstantPot, on the other hand, most flavours intensify. Enjoy the chicken curry and the process of learning how to make it. Be patient with your cooking, and take notes on your process, what you like, and don't.

    Since I generally feel like toast means spoiling a perfectly fine piece of bread, the toaster oven is fine for me. It's a convection oven, so I generally use it instead of the one in my stove. Most folks have to prioritize when it comes to kitchen gadgets and utensils. For me, the #1 choice is my #InstantPot, which lives on my counter and gets used almost daily.

  15. #The100DayProject days 20-24
    3 days were spent at a sewing retreat, so a lot of sewing took place. I completed a linen Moss Jacket that has been a long time in the works. I also completed a lined and zipped tote bag made from a used pair of jeans. Quite pleased with both. I'm currently sewing together the legs from several pairs of jeans in order to make a tote bag for a yoga mat. Some additional fabric will be added.
    Yesterday's creativity was a baingan, aloo chana masala.
