    PAKIDGE!! A weekend of instant pot adventures await. I am hoping this means I can whip up evening meals more quickly (especially things like curries and casseroles from scratch) which means I save money on take away and can buy lentils and beans in bulk.

    Anyone got any favourite recipes? Ohh I should ask this on the food thread too…

      I’m quite tempted by an instant pot, keen to hear your adventures. But I have limited storage and don’t want to end up with something I don’t actually use a lot.

        I bought the little 3L one which should be good for a few serves of anything and will hopefully fit on the bench ok… I will update with my adventures

      You’re going to want to soak and rinse dry pulces. If you’re meal prepping, have at least two options on the go as the same thing can get tiring.

        Yeah. I meal prep a bunch of pulses now and because it takes so long to cook I end up doing way too much and getting bored. Hoping I can soak overnight then prep something for lunch first thing or have things prepped to throw in when I come home

      Simple spaghetti bolognaise is my go to if I want a lot of it fairly cheap.

      You can get cheap frozen veggies as well which might help.

      I do like a mild curry, fairly easy with curry powder, garam masala and coconut cream.

      Pair with veggies, beans/lentils or meat and pasta or rice.
