I learned the word “brekkie” from a Canadian nurse friend who lived and worked in Australia for 10 years.
In the Instant Pot™️ (not instapot) world, the social media shortcut name for this appliance is IP.
For some, it was a passing fad, to be purchased because it was popular, and then to be sold or to be stored in a closet, never to see daylight again.
I bought my first 6 qt IP eight years ago. Since then, I purchased a second 6 qt which I keep in Texas, and a 3 qt that I keep here.
To this day, I use my favourite appliance three or more times weekly, both here, and in Texas.
Why do I love it? Let me count the ways … on another day.
Today, it’s because of the ease of preparation for steel cut oats. It’s basically dump, stir, and cook for the amount of time that makes your oats the chew that you prefer. I like my steel cut oats to be fairly soft, so my recipe for apple cinnamon steel cut oats takes 5 mins cook time. It’s a set it and forget it cooking process – no stirring, no watching for doneness, no stove spatters, and overall easy clean-up. What’s better than that?
