I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now.
What are your small, “random” or “junk drawer” type of gadgets that you actually use or like having around?
- Put a layer of frozen meatballs on the bottom. I use Trader Joe’s party sized balls.
- Add dry pasta
- Pour sauce over dry pasta.
- Fill sauce jar with water and dump that in.
- Put the lid on set it to go for 8 minutes on high pressure. Wait for it to finish and then release the pressure.
- Yum yum in the tum tum
8 minutes? Damn, it takes me that long just to boil water on the stove
Setting for 8 minutes means that it will heat up, build pressure, then start the 8 minute timer. It then beeps loudly when the time is up, so no need to set a separate timer or keep track of the thing.
As u/usernameblankface said, 8 minutes is the time it cooks while fully pressurized. It can take anywhere from a little over 5 minutes to a half hour or more to heat up everything inside enough to generate the steam necessary to pressurize.
