I bought one of these on Black Friday. I figured it would be a good replacement for my rice cooker but I'm not quite sure what else I'm interested making with it besides that. What do you make with these? Or did I fuck up and it's one of those small appliances that will end up sitting in my cupboard..

It's literally just an electric pressure cooker. You can use it to make just about anything.

This. It's an electric programmable pressure cooker you don't have to send your kids into a bunker when you use it. It's great and terrible. Like the best Tsars.

I made 5 cups of rice on that machine in the last 3 days. Don't listen to the assholes that say 1 to 1. It's at least 1 to 1.2 or 1 to 1.3. Setting is pressure cook, High and 0 minutes. Then let it naturally release. 3 minute cook makes for such sticky overcooked shit I want to take it and tar and feather the asshole who came up with the timing.

This. It's a computerized clock and metal container that allows you to cook any number of solid and liquid food related items under various air pressure/ventilation/heat settings. It's kinda like a pressure cooker.

And.. That's what the Chinese want you to think. Just kidding. But real pressure cookers are fucking dangerous. You could Boston Marathon your apartment building by accident if you fall a sleep drunk watching Duck Dynasty.

>what are pressure release valves?
Unless fucked up, pressure cookers are no more dangerous than your water heater.

If you think shitty aluminum built 70s twist on units with a ball release system as the same as these snazzy elon cunt units. By all means. Go to bed with a pressure cooker on your stove.

It's not the fact there isn't safety in those old shitty systems, it's that they're not electronically monitored and turned off.

Savvy?
