Ultra-processed foods and the corporate capture of nutrition

Get an airfryer and an instant pot. Neither one takes up much space on a countertop, and they are easy to clean and store. I hardly use my stove anymore unless I'm baking something.

Instant pots are a game changer. It does limit most menus to one pot meals but still a pathway to good nutrition.

In fact I have my stove unplugged and 3 instant pots sitting on top of it (and an air fryer near by)

Ditto! I barely use my stove these days! For Indian food..the transition was super easy from pressure cooker to instant pot.

Our neighbor who moved to the East coast sent me a bag of wild rice from her state. I made a wild rice and mushroom soup in less than half an hour. The same would have been a production earlier as wild rice takes longer to cook than regular rice. I was also able to make it a larger batch and freeze it for later.

I am used to flash freezing having worked in restaurants and I am not a fan of freezing left overs in a home freezer and probably won’t be doing this again if this fails the texture test.

The smaller instant pot was perfect to make a nice roux for thickening and it doesn’t burn. And clean up is a breeze.
