There is always rice in that stupid trough around the edge. Always. I clean it, and then I come back the next day and there's rice there again.

IKR.

I loved my Magefesa pressure cooker. So easy to clean. Its design is very nearly the pinnacle of human achievement. I damaged the valve and that tiny plastic insert cost almost as much as a whole new unit, so I decided to try the InstaPot that everyone was crazy about.

I cannot fathom how someone ends up designing the InstaPot. They must have started with a CrockPot.

I do like the timer. Next time I'll upgrade my stove and stick with the dumb pot.

Don't get me wrong, I love how simple instapots are, and not using up one of my 2 high btu burners is a giant feature.

On the bright side, infinite rice!

One grain at a time. I need to get signed up for that whole chessboard-exponential-doubling-rice program
