    Instant Pot. Multi-function cooker (Part 5)

    @ Smithy - the IP is a great machine, but when I do rice (3 or more times a week) I use a Zojirushi NP-HCC10 rice cooker. I know it's a 1 trick pony and pricey, but does many different types of rice and while it takes a while to finish, I just start it ahead of time and it has a keep warm function that actually works. The rice is perfect every time. It even has a setting for Gaba brown rice that is supposed to be healthy, I'm not healthy so I haven't tried it😛.

    I am scared that mine is reaching the end of it’s life. It’s becoming very difficult to get it to turn on. You have to push the button many many times before it gets the message.

    I had a problem with mine as well (the big one - xl or something), my problem was if I wanted to set a temperature I had to go back and forth to get the temp I wanted. Breville gave me what I thought was a great deal.  I could either get a refurb or subtract the current price of the xl from the new smart  air oven price and pay the difference. I took the smart oven air and imho, it's much better. It's larger and more presets. I use the air fry almost exclusively as it works for just about everything, though not bread. Doesn't have steam though.

    What is this thread about, really? It appears to be useful for talking oneself into or out of certain appliances. Or trying to justify not needing something or justifying your love of something.

     

     

    I didn't feel the OP was negatively reflecting on this thread but rather expressing her take (and others) on its benefit to her.

    Not to be cliche-ish, but with advantages often come disadvantages.

     

    In order to be more proficient and helpful, devices need more information which we give them by using them.

     

    Personally I use Alexa and have found setting timers etc very useful, in order for the device to serve me better it needs to know me better.
