@Smithy Here’s the US equivalent . Not quite as curvy and sexy.

Finally, someone else that makes tea the way I do.😀 And drinks it in the same quantities.

@Anna N helps kittens/cats on their journey through life, you help unloved kitchenware/small appliances. 😂

Is the insert sitting directly on the bottom of the cooking pot?

For the “rebus impaired” among us there’s THIS.

As @Anna N said, steam, then for mine, 30 seconds in ice water before peeling.

@Anna N Thank you, the two minute IP Mini egg is perfect for me. Fully set white, lovely cooked but liquid yolk. Mmmm...

Not yet, and I’ve done some questionable thing as far as liquid levels go.

Google Home mini here. Love, love, love, the multiple hands free timers! Would buy again, even if that was all it did. Still exploring the capabilities though.

Great stuff!! Many “Happy hours” ahead. Are those spoons in the bannetons? Merry Christmas!

The first time I tried it, it was with the same “This is probably a really bad idea” thoughts. It’s now my go to way for rice. I cook a bunch and food saver it in 2 cup portions, takes up almost no space in the freezer, and after a few minutes in the microwave hot, fluffy rice! I cook, cool to room temp then bag it.

Great backup for “no power days”. Thanks!

"Beauty aids the appetite". Love it!

While I do know the difference between an arthropod and an orthopod, my mind still takes me to a scenario where you're being injected by something more akin to a wasp or bee, especially with the butter tarts involved.

Uh oh! Now I'm in trouble! Thank you, you are how I want to be when (if) I grow up.

Easy for you to say Ms. Lottery Winner!

Been thinking about it for a long time and then the planets aligned. Now to see if Max ( see avatar ) will fit in 8 qts vs. original 2 qt. cooker.

Instant Pot Duo80. Had Amazon gift cards. Out of pocket under $9 US.

Sorry, try Sriracha Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato Chips.

Made this, came out great. Color me impressed! We both enjoyed the flavors, portions were generous, directions were clear and simply presented. So far I'm happy.

I just received and unpacked my HelloFresh order. Very nicely packed. Produce cool, meat cold and only one casualty after riding around for 6+ hours in a UPS truck on a 100f day. The casualty was a little bunch of fresh basil, it was at the bottom of one of the produce boxes, unfortunately that put it on top of the ice pack. So, it was actually freeze damage, not what I was expecting. Dinners for Tonight , Wednesday and Thursday taken care of. I'll report back later this evening.

Will have Plan B in place for the 22nd. @patris, who delivered yours FedEx or UPS? We're in the California desert. If it's delivered FedEx it should be fine, if it rides around in a big brown truck all day it's not going to be pretty.

Okay, I'm in. I'll blame @patris, her description of her food rut fits me all too well, and seeing a real life example of the box content and the final dish was inspirational. Finding a Groupon for $40 off the first box, plus $20 off the second helped. I'm doing the Hello Fresh "Classic" omnivore plan 3 meals/2 person per week. First delivery is May 22nd.
