What differentiates a InstantPot from a regular slow cooker?
It's a combo device -- it can work as a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, (sometimes) yogurt maker, and so on in one device.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Plus, according to the recipes I've been looking at, you can sauté things in it?
Also, I hate recipe blogger websites. So much.

I won't relax on the election until the creep concedes. I expect challenges and recount demands.
ION, ham steak and unagi (sushi) sauce is really very delicious.

If my SIL is awake, pretty sure she is screaming in delight. She hates bama politics, but it's their home and life now.

Our wings are not tired.
Have to hit the pillow, but it will be happier dreams. Maria mentioned on FB that there are no recounts in AL, so that is good. Of course they will delay him being signed in until after the tax votes, but still smile on my face tonight.
And my super right wing Alabama relatives are super pissed off, which is just icing on this beautiful cake.

Thrive to spite them
The Instant Pot is primarily an electric pressure cooker. It has a rice function (for plai white rice but you can cook other types on manual) . You can make yogurt with it, cook stews and soups, roasts, even bake. Cheesecake is supposed to be amazing in it but I haven't tried cheesecake.
I have one. It does take time to come up to pressure and release pressure but the food tastes like it cooked for house and roasts and stew meat cones out tender.
I made carnitas with a Boston butt and used a spoon to scoop out the meat.
Also you can cook frozen things. I've made beef stew from frozen beef and cook frozen chicken breasts.

I love the "will it sous vide" series on lifehacker. Have been thinking of buying my BIL one but not sure if he'd be into it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
there are no recounts in AL,
CNN said there is a recount if the margin is less than 1%, but Jones is leading by more than 1% right now, with 99% of the votes in.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I was mistaken. The Alabama Supreme Court stayed an order that ordered the preservation of the digital images of the paper ballots. It basically calls into question the security of the ballots. I read something quickly and didn't immediately follow up.
