Re: Olivier salad. Perhaps I'm sheltered, but I'd never heard of it. Sounds good (and potential variations are buzzing in my brain as I type). I have learned a New Thing. Today is therefore a worthwhile day.
Thanks, @Tropicalsenior. And I'm glad the egg pucks (LOVE the term!) worked for you. I highly recommend 'em with proscuitto on that English muffin (I keep accumulating 4-oz packages of proscuitto from Aldi and freezing them; cheap and good!).
Today I used my IP to:
- boil six eggs for deviled eggs I have not yet made
- make rice pudding
- and make beef curry with rice for dinner.
None were things I could not have done otherwise, but the convenience and time savings were well worthwhile. I don't know that I can think of anything I can do in it that I couldn't do otherwise, and for some things that many people use the IP, I still prefer the old-fashioned method, like carbonnades a la flamande or bouef Bourguignon, but it's a worthwhile device in my kitchen and I'm sold on it. Particularly with the little pot-in-pot stackable tiffin-style pans.
