Spaghetti sauce gone bad

[sundaydriver]

That's funny, huh

I hope a stink bug crawls into your ear tonight. I'm not even sure what one is, nor what it looks like, but doesn't sound like something you want in your ear!!

I found one those buggers yesterday on the bathroom window. Out he went before he crawled with my other ear bugs.

Interesting, and makes me even more clueless. But the woman and kid LOVE yogurts. She is forever buying these large things of plain yogurt, and then uses it to make all kinds of homemade things by adding other fruits and such. But I would have no idea what this thing is supposed to do with yogurt.

It won't do anything with yogurt, it will make yogurt! Homemade yogurt!

I find them every now and again. Never heard of them or saw one until like 2 years ago. They seem rather harmless, and haven't "smelled" anything from any of them yet.

Growing up we had "earwigs". and they scared the bejeezus out of me!! Little pinchy looking bastards!!

But I thought they were the same? Are you telling me that instead of losing the bottom of the cooker like I did last time, this one may blow up somehow??????



You can thank Kathianne for that! I was looking at various models, but then she posted about the "instant pot". Same as you, I looked it up and it didn't take long to make my decision. That was yesterday, and here it is today!

A pressure cooker is for quick cooking, and has a locking top, so it won't blow off, lol. Slow cooker lids are usually glass, and works in the opposite way.

Though after Boston, he might expect a visit from DHS...

I think this thing has both, not sure. It better, or I blame Kath!!

I wish I had that spaghetti sauce back now so I could cook it as a test.

This is a stink bug. Showed up in NJ `5 years ago and then some swam the river to over here. Or took the free bridges?

No! These kinds have a lot of safety features that the old timers didn't.

Yep, like I said on one of the deleted posts, the Instapot is 'smart' bluetooth I believe. Anyways has some sort of auto shut off if goes too high in pressure.

Jim: Pressure cookers are scary, slow cookers are kewl.

I told you I had some awesome deleted posts. Jim and I were enjoying ourselves, poof went the board! This appliance is a: slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker...

7 in 1. Smart tech. I'm buying one for my niece for wedding. I know I'll get one for myself.

[Kathianne]

Well now WTF??? I thought a pressure cooker was a slow cooker which was a damn crock pot. Holy crap am I confused. And people wonder why I order pizza so damn much!!

OMG! Please read the instruction manual! Call or pm me if further info needed. Push the right damn buttons!

It was of the frozen variety, also filled with meatballs and sausage. It was a HUGE amount saved in tupperware. So I'm using the crockpot to cook, and gonna make the pasta at the last minute. So I put the frozen sauce into the crock pot, turn it on high and then leave. I come back like an hour later and I see sauce dripping around the counter. I see it dripping out from underneath the crock pot. They have 2 valve like looking things under there, and it seemed to be coming out of the one on the left.

So I turned it off and put the entire thing in the sink. I wanted to look between the pot itself, and the heating element it sits within, to see what the hell is going wrong. I think I found out what the problem is.

Here is the pot that is supposed to HOLD the sauce and meatballs:



And here is the semi-frozen sauce, sitting on the bottom of the element, not heating up, because it was too busy dripping out the bottom. I don't know if putting something frozen in there caused this, or if it was put away broken, or if it was just it's time to croak.

There's a hole in the pot.

Hey Jim,

To get you started: http://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2...t-recipes.html

Recipes that are based on the appliance, get the 'feel for it.'
(I like this for the intro. The 'Whole Chicken Recipe' is what I'd start with.)

Now here's a 'man's site': http://dadcooksdinner.com/2015/01/in...uestions.html/

Recipes look good too!

You are such a dweeb sometimes. You sure you aren't related to my family? Y'all people and your damned food. Then you go break the little woman's sh*t and don't have 2 replacements standing by. You nad my brother must have the same Dallas Cowboys playbook -- how to lose by the numbers.
