Prime free shipping to Alaska. Why in the hell would anyone say no! It arrived 2 weeks ago and sat in the box. I had no idea where to start and even less free time to figure it out. I like familiar. I like to do things with a predictable outcome. So I left it in the box.
Thanksgiving. The day before the stove ran out of propane. (I live in 2 places but that's another post.) I needed to take things and stuff to my sister's for dinner. Luckily, everything was cookable in the oven. Except...mashed potatoes.
Lonely sat my pot in the box. I googled and found a few ideas how to Pot them. I set the girls to peeling 5 pounds of potatoes. I added 1.5 cups of water and set the Pot to manual for 5 minutes. After it was done I vented the Pot and they were done! Drained them, added a stick of butter and some milk...and mashed.
Perfection. I wish I took pictures but I didn't know I would become such a huge fan of the Pot!
Now I'm setting out to make dinner fast and easy without a lot of complicated ingredients. And save my sanity with weekly meal prep! That's the bonus.
