Catered to and was founded to create and promote the “California Dream”. Sunset magazine history on Wikipedia. By the time @rotuts experienced it, it was well into regional editions, thus the feeling that it was made just for folks in (insert your California region).

Hilarious, but not for me. However if one smokes their own meats (like @rotuts) the dryer sheets could be “renewed” at home, “a pack of 10 organic cotton dryer sheets, smoked right next to Benton’s world-famous hams…” 🤣

Exactly my experience. I have done low and slow scrambled eggs on it, it was great for that. I think it will likely accompany us on future travels, would be great in a hotel room situation, the pan is small enough to fit in an average hotel lavatory/sink easily. Ditto on the pan set.

We’re using Luzianne, either Family size or Gallon size bags depending on price and availability. For variety I will add one regular size flavored (currently Tazo Passion) tea bag along with the bigger one's.

For 3 inch it’s 4 1/2 hours, I just looked and the time is the same (at least for 3 and 4 inch thickness), not sure about leaving it for 24 hours, I probably wouldn’t.

From the Breville/Joule app, for a frozen 4 inch thick pork loin 7 1/2 hours at 136°F gets you Same time at 144°F

@Smithy Thanks for sharing your bold relaunch into your journey. It takes a boatload of courage to go “on the road” solo, not to mention publicly sharing the experience as it unfolds. Truly appreciated!

Liquid that goes through the Instant Pot, either through the lid switch and condensation collector on the back, or through the center as @Tropicalsenior mentioned, actually bypasses all the electrical components and connections. I’d let it dry overnight, then if you’re up for it, the bottom is easy to remove. On both my 8 qt & 3 qt (circa 2017) there’s a single Philips head screw that you remove, then twist the bottom plate a smidge (1/4”?) counterclockwise and lift off. Then you can wash and clean up any residue from the bean liquid. I can do pictures tomorrow if you want.

Did the beans survive?

Probably referring to STTP.

What a nice surprise! Will you please share the recipe from the back of the card? I looked on their website and blog but it’s not there.

@TdeV I found the picture and information below on Reddit. Does this look like yours did?

If you’re not already planning on doing it, press a piece of plastic wrap on each box, then press it onto the avocado surface, trying to avoid air pockets under the plastic wrap.

Exactly, keep warm doesn’t kick in until well below any pressure temperature, between 145° to 172°F (I suppose it depends on the model, and likely variances between individual units.)

We’ve had these for more than a year now. (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) Note that the price depends on your color choice. (I see there is also a stainless steel version available now) They work well, clean up between refills very well. The only trick is to be sure there’s no excessive oil buildup on the outer “nozzle/spray area” and to firmly and deliberately squeeze the handle, when correctly used they dispense 1/4 teaspoon of oil per squeeze. Baking Spray, in my experience, refers to this or similar, (eG-friendly Amazon.com link).
