Yesterday it was almost time for Vince to get home when I heard the UPS truck outside. Our driveway is kinda curvy and some spots, it’s hard to see if anything is coming and no real place to get off the one lane driveway so I went out to tell the driver to watch for Vince as she was leaving because he wouldn’t be expecting to meet anyone leaving as he was coming in.
She got out of her truck carrying the Instant Pot box and she said “You are going to LOVE this!” She proceeded to tell me that she got one on Black Friday and that she uses it every day. I told her I’ve had mine for a couple of years and still use it every day and this one was a mini one. She had never boiled eggs or made rice in hers so I told her how easy all that was to do and I told her about the Pressure Cooking website. She said “Are their recipes good?” I told her I’ve made probably 40 or 50 recipes from there and every one of them has been amazing.
She said she made some broccoli dish in hers yesterday. I told her I had made broccoli soup in mine this morning. I almost asked if she wanted me to run in and grab her a cup of soup to take with her but decided that might be a little pushy on my part.
I haven’t even opened the box yet but at least one of my lost packages has safely arrived. The yarn . . no idea what’s happening with that.

I’m sure thinking about ordering the mini Instant Pot. It’s just my husband and me at home, and I don’t cook every day, so I’m wondering if this will encourage me to cook more because of its ease of use. Any thoughts on that?

I would of given her some .. I give our postman something almost every week, he loved the fudge from last week. I made a few other things he was glad to get as he was hungry and couldn’t stop on his route.

I love my 6 qt and DS/DIL just got going on their Mini. Of course the first recipe was the cheesecake!!!!!

You should not even mind if he finds out about this one because it is to make him food to eat and do it faster!! You have to think outside the box. Guess I have a devious mind but I would find some excuse that would work! LOL You needed this small one to do the small things while you are using the other one to make the big things. And you need to combine the two so they will get done at approximately the same time in order for the meal to still be hot and fresh for HIM!! LOL See I can think of things! LOL Years of practice?????????

I bought the 3 qt in December and I’m in love. It’s just my husband and I and we still can get three meals out of one cooking. Great size, not too large to store. I also ordered extra seals. Those took awhile to get here. I think it’s a new size and the the manufacturers haven’t geared up yet for the demand.
