What is actually the point. What (apart from maybe the air frying) can you do in this that you can't do in, say, a pan or a baking tray.

Yes but why, for pity's sake. What's the point of pressure cooking. What does it do that you can't do in a normal pan.

Gosh risotto. I can finally make risotto. Stews, soups. Boy, is there anything this baby can't do?!

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Err cooking things in less than half the time it takes by conventional methods.  As regards to comparing it too a normal pan, you do know what a pressure cooker does right?

What if I installed a throttle to reduce the amount of energy coming into your stove and made it take twice as long for you to cook your stews? You would call the police. This is the opposite of that.

Recipe for risotto on that site there, takes 30 minutes. Exactly like a pan on a hob.

WASTE of resources and effort.

Do what you bloody want, I don't even cook bloody stews do I.

Love my instant pot, cooks a biryani in 6 minutes perfect everytime, which is far more difficult with a non-sealed vessel and a non-regulated heat supply.

It wouldn't surprise me if you were on the Goblin Hamburgers every night and you came here to complain performatively about other people making stews. I could believe you were capable of such low behaviour.

Yeah I'm not sure why risotto is being talked about but for something like ribs for example.  That you would have to either slow cook or boil for hrs you can do that in 20 mins in pressure cooker.

I do my stews in a slow cook pot that'll take 8 hours minimum because there are days when I have to give myself something to look forward to.

^ see look at this. Now we both know his biryani will taste like watery dogshit, but the important point is that it only takes him 6 minutes, right?

Instant Pots are brilliant. Perfect rice in 4 minutes, a stew in 40 minutes, cook chicken from frozen in 20 minutes. You don't have to watch them. Just shove everything in there and forget about it. I use mine daily.

Plus pressure release I guess, while absorption continues.

I've even been chucking my masks in there with a pint of water, 2 minutes + NPR = sterilised mask.

Mend your broken heart?

 I just cannot cope with it at all, I'm not interested in cooking meat, I never cook meat, or if I do i can do it in an oven and it's exactly the same - you still have to chop things, prepare things, it's just putting them in a different container at the end, so now it's just going to sit there and every time they'll ask me and I'll have to say 'oh yes it's great!' but I don't see the purpose of it, I don't see the purpose of any of it, I don't see the purpose of anything
