My husband is in love!!

[Osc]

........with his Instant Pot Almost every meal in the last 10 days has been cooked in it, with the thankful exception of sausages and chips when the children were here on Thursday. Today he even experimented with rice pudding, which tastes gorgeous, it has eggs in it so is lovely and custardy. I think I can put up with this other love in his life though, as he does do most of the cooking He has done ham, chicken, fish, chilli, pasta with meatballs, pasta with sauce, potatoes for mash, no big failure yet It’s really easy to clean too which is good as I do the cleaning up!

I'll have to look this up!

Intriguing I think our Jo has one too

My n-d-n is a sous chef (soon to be Chef de Cuisine) in a rather large and posh hotel. During the summer he will use any excuse to cook al fresco out the back... usually for big groups. He raves about his damned pot.

His wife is also a big fan... for making yoghurt. She makes gallons of the stuff in different styles and loads of wacky flavours, which she is not shy of trying out on any passing neighbour.

However, I think they are a bit too big for only one person so it will still be the stove top for me, and I have found a way of making yoghurt in the slow cooker.

osc has he tried making it with a tin of carnaton milk and putting some sultanas in it now that's yummy
Never tried to make yogurt in a slow cooker WM

Will have to have a look at this, anything for easy cooking

[JanB]

Bit lost on this, looks like a slow cooker but then maybe I was looking at the wrong thing

Saundra, it is relatively easy and makes super tasty, and super cheap, yoghurt. I'll put up a post in the Kitchen board.

Jan, have a read of this.

Osc is talking (and others are raving) about these, but beware, there are multi-cookers out there that are NOT pressure cookers as well.

Frank, there's a 3 litre one available now which is perfect for one.

Actually, I've got two
I've been using a big 8 litre one for over two years now and I bought a 3 litre one when they were introduced last Summer. The small one is ideal for single portions for John's work lunch or for rice or noodles when there's something to go with it cooking in the big one, or even for 'boiling' eggs.

I can cook a lovely casserole in about 30 minutes, and that includes using frozen chicken breasts.

Osc, isn't the rice pudding lovely, and so quick and easy! Cheesecakes are good too, and the yoghurt is beautiful.
