i unknowingly bought one for my son last xmas. wanted to get him a crockpot, found this thing that did a whole lot more than just slow cooking. he only uses it for rice. yes we
both read the book. i've been reading the instapot makers website and their comments about all the wondrous things that can be cooked ..but like you, dc989, i am a good cook, a old fashioned (it seems
