years I have lived. Not aware of what is going on...
only that INFORMATIVE should have not been my
response.....even when the information given by person who posted...WAS informative to me. Sorry. Aria

I am so sorry!

If someone is bugging you, use the ignore member option for the member. It is easy to do and then you do not see their posts.

I understand your frustration. It’s not fun when these things happen. I really don’t understand why someone would tell you not to say it’s informative when in reality you found it informative. Simply saying it’s informative to you IS an appropriate response, in my opinion.

I really have no idea why this is happening. However, we are all here to help you.

Well, I dont know whats gone on (nothing to do with me) but I'm glad you are ok Aria.
Can we all move on and be friends again? Get back to baking and sharing our bakes?

What will you play this on? Do you play the organ too?? You have so many talents!

Can you give me a step-by-step for this? I absolutely love my IP, and I had never thought of using it for a proofer. When I make yogurt, I do it in quart jars wrapped in towels, so I don't have any experience with the yogurt functions on the IP.

And, welcome!

It's really easy! I typically will set my bowl with dough covered with plastic wrap on top of the instapot (no lid needed!) You hit Yogurt, then use the down button to change the amount of time before it turns off. For smaller dough, I will do 30 minutes but if I'm proofing larger dough, I have gone up to 2 hours (really as long as you need for it to double). Its yogurt setting keeps it a comfortable temp and the gap between the bottom of the instapot pot and bottom of the bowl keeps it from cooking. The plastic wrap helps keeps the moisture in. I've used plastic, glass, and metal bowls on top with no issues.

I know I've been less active on BYC lately but remember you and your posts as being only kind! Don't know what happened, and am not trying to pry, but remember plenty of other good people here like you and want you here.

No baking today but the turmeric my friend sent arrived in the mail.
Some really healthy looking orange rhizomes that I can't wait to get into a pot, and an extra piece of black turmeric. It's more purple but it's called black turmeric. Will be interesting this fall to see what the flavor difference might be.

With that beautiful new pantry you should learn to pressure can your stock. It's really easy and so are dried beans.

Oh! Please tell me how to pressure can dry (pinto) beans! Seven quarts, please! I tried once but could not figure out how many dried beans would end up equalling seven finished quarts so I guessed (wrong!). Also, my recipe hsd me parboil them and I didn't have a vessel large enough to do that. It was just a huge hassle! Thanks!

Aria, if one person told you not to use the Informative button, just remember that was ONE PERSON's opinion. Don't let it interfere with your enjoyment and activity on this thread. You have a right to your response to a post, and in MY opinion, no one has a right to judge your response. If a post seems funny to you, how can anyone else say it is not funny? Or if you want to click the "love" response, that is entirely up to you. Those reactions should not be subject to anyone else's opinions. Those are YOUR reaction, nobody else's. Please don't go. You are a cherished member here. ❤❤
