To Transform Your Weeknight Cooking, Turn On the Instant Pot.

'The hardest ingredient to find for any weeknight recipe is time. Tuesdays after work just don’t have a lot of it, and it’s not as if you can order it online.

A slow cooker can help by doing the cooking while you’re at the office. Just load it up in the morning and come home after work to a fragrant, hearty meal.

The big thing missing here is spontaneity. If you’re not the kind of cook who can commit to and then start prepping your dinner before you’re fully caffeinated — or if you just can’t get yourself organized to start cooking in advance at all — a slow cooker won’t do you much good.

But a multicooker like the Instant Pot just might.'>>>

I can't cook for shit. Getting high while burning dinner would at least make it interesting.

roast beef or beef stew in a pressure cooker. 1 hour from start to finish and they taste better than slow cooking all day

cooking with wine is mighty fine.

Glasses of wine, that is.
