Speaking about those Instant Pots, we had a patient come in about a month ago and hers exploded. She has third degree burns all over her neck, chest and arms. One of the worst things I’ve seen in the office.

Pressure cookers were a thing here long ago. My gran used one. Basically throw a ham in and lock the top and it boils it but way faster but they often exploded too.
You don’t see them anymore

Not really a gadget, but found this awesome pot at the thrift store today.

Getting some bags in the mail for the Anova sous vide that someone gave us for Christmas. I think I'll do pork chops first.

Let me know about your process and how that turns out, bune. We’ve got a sous vide from the wedding that we’ve never even opened. I’d like to start using it.

Will do. The bags say they're reusable and that was a big selling point for me.

Not a big fan of fancy toasters with lots of settings. Just give me one with a dial of numbers and let me figure it out

A "bagel setting" that just toasts the inside is a must.

I agree, but I've found the newer "basic" toasters do a better job of uniformly toasting even bagels.

This bump (and thread) reminds me that we threw out our dingy old toaster in the move and I still need a new one. Hard to believe we've been two weeks in the house and I haven't had a need for a toaster yet.

We still haven't unboxed our sous vide from the wedding, coming up on two years now. Where do you even start with using this thing?
