Seems to be a "multi cooker" also called a instant pot.

Cool, so you just throw stuff in it, choose a program option, and walk away?  

Basically a crock pot with a computer (otherwise known as a $5 yard sale item)

Get off your butt and stalk a safer position !

At my previous house I did that and the neighbor girls saw me shoot one.  They were screaming that I killed the Easter bunny.   Now I keep it on the DL.  I could’ve dispatched them easily if it weren’t that.

Whose decision was it to buy that piece of property anyway?

I will never understand people that buy a house that has neighbors so close that y'all smell each other's farts, and always know what each other is having for dinner.  Renting temporarily, like an apartment, is understandable.....but BUYING IT with the intention of staying forever ?

Ok help me out here.   What is this thing, what's it good for, and how do I use it? 

It was given to us and we haven't a clue.

Thx

Looks like it would make a good parts cleaner for really dirty items.  Toss them in there overnight and in morning, all clean.  Could double as a trout or carp cooker.  The leftover solvent wouldn't hurt the flavor of them.

Oh lord, just when we haven't heard from Joe in a while, you had to go and ... anger Mocarp. 😉

I will put up a little teaser here. Yesterday I made a slow simmered ragu from left over lamb shanks. Tonight, having benefited like all stews from an overnight in the refrigerator, I will serve it with pasta shells. The salad will be ripe cantaloupe with arugula and a balsamic glaze.

Pictures later.

Instant Pot is a pressure cooker, high pressure with steam, cooks chicken fast. Faster than conventional pressure cookers, I don't know all the stuff it will do, but it is not self cleaning.  About the opposite of Crock-pot.  The daughters use them all the time and gave us one a few months ago.

It probably would clean parts too.

We both did. It’s our third.  Grew up in the burbs, work in the burbs.
