+1 for Tao of Pooh and Te of Piglet. I’m reading it right now and already know I’ll be buying it for some friends.

I used to love cooking, but have not had the time lately. I bought an Instant Pot and have been pleased so far. As other commenters have said, a pressure cooker is the magic solution here, but I do appreciate that mine also functions as a traditional slow cooker and air fryer. I live alone, so cooking once a week is normally enough to last most of the week (or more), so I usually find a recipe I like (usually just by searching “Instant Pot [whatever food sounds good]”) and cook it on a weekday. I end up eating a lot of soups. I like soups.
