I plan on pressure cooking red kidney beans to make Hamburger chili next week.

The weather is perfect for beans!

Weather is perfect for beans and Veggie Soup. YES Aria

I have dried butter beans here but I intend to do a 48 hour soak for the nutrients value.

Would anyone have a recipe? I would love to make a butter bean soup and too freeze some for another meal.

I hope someone has a recipe for you! I found some for cooking them with ham

Breakfast burritos here tonight.. Funny but like my stove/oven so well I do not have any fancy pot's or pressure cooker soup pots tried a couple. Just back to the stove

I got an Instant Pot to check out some of the fantastic claims. In my opinion the benefits of an Instant Pot are exaggerated. I gave it away.

I do have a slow cooker that I really like and use. Other than that I only use the stove, oven and microwave.

 

[pennyJo1960]

Oh forgot the microwave ya we use it every now and then
Best part I have old fashioned on the stove aluminum popcorn popper

I know I'll be using my Instant Pot a lot on Thanksgiving. Maybe get the second one out too.

I use the 6 quart one for cooking rice more than anything else, most of the time, and with the air fryer lid to cook potatoes. And it makes really awesome beef stew. I use the 8 quart to make bone broth and bigger amounts of stuff.

No, it isn't the be all and end all of kitchen appliances. But if my stove (which is 42 years old) dies, I can still manage just fine.

We finally got our gas turned back on! They forgot our house after they replaced the neighborhood gas line. Hot water and the stove, yay!

My ovens are dying. Top one has all sorts of error messages if it bakes above 375 F, so we have to use the bottom one, which is set with a dial, which is typically incorrect on temp. :/

@jnicholes I’m trying to convince myself to get up for the eclipse! We’re supposed to have great viewing conditions here.

Lunar eclipse tonight at 2:02 AM US mountain time. Thought I would tell you all. Cloudy here so I hope others can see it.

Yep, they will have to report back, cloudy here as well.
