2022 - Tonight's recipe

Yes, I was impressed the Instant Pot reached 190 degrees C in less than two minutes, despite being in an 11.5 degree room.

B. Sourdough toast and plum jam.
Tangerine
L French bread with seafood sticks and lettuce
D. Vegan sausages, rice and rhubarb chard, mizuna and mangetout. The chard turned the rice a delicate shade of pink.

Another FREE day.

I have one of them Pros

The pressure cooking does take a bit of getting used to. I don't use it for anything with a short cook time, cause it overcooks it so easily. However, I do rice in it if I have lots of other stuff on the hob. But it's awesome for stuff that has a long cooking time, like stew, chillis, etc, and soup, whole chicken, roasts... For roasts and chicken, I pour off the juice once it's cooked for a couple of hours, then swap the lids to crisp things up.

The air fryer is great for anything that needs a quick cooking time, or roasting.

Nando’s piri piri chicken and chips.

Rice is so easy in a pressure cooker. Basmati takes 3 minutes on high with a 10 minute rest. Comes out perfect. You can do a good risotto in a pressure cooker too. Mashed potato is another good one, and pre-cooking baked potatoes before roasting (cuts down massively on oven time).

L apple and raspberry crumble (2)

I've been thinking about an Air fryer at the moment I use my oven for pies/bread everything else I use the m/wave or hob then either slow or pressure cooker depending on what I'm cooking.
