Instant pot?

[merigayle]

Probably the ones in natural store move quicker

Hummus came out pretty good. Glad I only used two cloves of garlic! I think I would use less tahini next time too. But it won't go to waste.

Definitely!

Made Japanese rice 4 minutes and nr came out perfectly.  2 cups rice to 2.3 cups water. Rinsed about 4 times begore cooking.

I had some grains and beans soaking overnight. They will be cooked today!

Saw pie pumpkins in the store and thought this could be good too.

For sous vide with the IP... it's a lightning deal right now, but it still costs more than the IP did when I bought it! I am intrigued, though...

It produces "restaurant quality" and is especially good for "tougher and lower grade meat". I wonder what restaurants they are thinking of here.

Anyway, I don't think I need it. What is attractive to you?

Probably the celebrated restaurants of the notable chefs mentioned here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide

I've read about this method, and everything I have read makes it sound like a great way to prepare meats and vegetables, but I didn't want to buy an even more expensive standalone machine in order to try it. I'm always interested in cooking gadgets and new ways to prepare things.

I see lots of Sous Vide on cooking shows, but as a vegetarian, nothing that i could use

You'd probably also want to get a vacuum sealer to use with it, so you'd have to figure that into the cost. I'm with you on being intrigued by sous vide though, I never make steak at home because I just can't get it right. (BBQ grills aren't allowed in our apartment complex unless you want to cook in the parking lot)

I know I had a vacuum sealer at one point, but can't remember if I still have it.  It was several residences (and one country) ago, so my guess is that it's gone.  Given the amount of food I make and freeze anyway, I could justify a purchase of a new one, most likely

Who knows, maybe I will put it on my holiday gift list and SO will surprise me

In about 90 minutes today, I made lentil stew, potato leek soup and then sassy sesame tofu. IP FTW!

[Ice Cream]

I was getting worried about nobody posting in this thread anymore...  I always feel like you are doing my homework and I can just relax and look at your recipes.

I am making yogurt now! IP working over time today

[wherestheportojohn]

Meri is kicking ass with her IP!

Potato leek soup sounds divine!

[Run Amok]

I just haven't been cooking much the past couple weeks. Will probably do tomato soup in the ip in a bit though

DH's favorite!

[wherestheportojohn]

Is there a specific recipe you use for the potato-leek soup?
Or do you make it up as you go?

[merigayle]

I made it up saute leeks, add potatoes and broth, cook until potatoes are soft, blend til creamy, season as needed and enjoy!

I've not been making much besides yogurt which I have down. I like mine really thick so get less yield. But that is OK, I love love love how it comes out.

I did make some chicken and turkey stock in there, and now the plastic ring smells like it. I tried soaking it for a long while in dish soap and baking soda but still smell it. But I remove it to make yogurt ever since someone posted they had to throw out a whole batch so won't have that happen.
