Be the doughnut! (or, how I learned to stop worrying and enjoy mediocrity)

There was some crazy cat lady in Jackson NJ like 20 years ago that lost a Tiger. IIRC she claimed the tiger people kept seeing wasn't hers, but it was. She had 20 something tigers! I believe after that she had to get rid of them.

Yup. Staye came in and removed them and shut her down

Mandi going bonkers over ours. It hasn’t left the counter. Beef stew, rice, awesome chicken dishes, just doesn’t make sense.

I've been thinking of the insta pot, but not totally sold yet.

How long did the oats take?

Instapot has taken over our house. Well worth it... did you get the one that makes yogurt? Wish we did... kids eat a ton of yogurt and it can get expensive

3 min, plus warm up and cool down.
Did setup night before and delay start; hot breakfast the moment we got downstairs

I’m sort of regretting not getting one with the yogurt setting. Glad I got 6 qt, I probably should have gotten 8 qt, I can tell the baby’s gonna be an eater

I'm no tru asian doe. I wonder if you can make kimchi in the instapot?

This instapot thing confuses because I thought that last year sous-vide was the thing. Sous-vide was supposed to be the best way to cook meat because you cook at like 135-140 degrees in a bag so all that stuff stays tender. Now apparently Insta-Potty is the only way to do it?

Physics People: Why does this thing work? Operating pressure for the Instant Pot is only like 10psi which means that water boils at only about 16% higher temp than at 0 psi (116 C vs. 100 C - or- 240f instead of 212f). Doesn't seem like it should make such a big difference. Brown rice in 10 minutes instead of 40???

I also go a smoker for Christmas. I have no idea how to use it but the Amazon Fairy is bringing wood chips tomorrow. I've never actually opened the WHO LIKES TO SMOKE THEIR MEAT thread but now I have some reading to do.
