A couple of weeks ago I wrote about grocery shopping and John punching a self check out register machine. It got me thinking of a similar situation but with our InstaPot.
A couple of years ago, John purchased an InstaPot. The first time either of us used it, John made something for dinner. I wasn’t home at the time which probably wouldn’t have mattered because I’m not horribly interested in it. It’s more John’s thing than mine. You could say that I’m not an early adopter of new technology and sometimes am darn right stodgy about accepting new gadgets. I’ve only recently started to learn how to use it.
He powered it on and it turned on. He pressed the buttons so it would cook. All seemed well. He turned his back to do something else and looked back and it had gone dark. It wasn’t on. He attempted to turn it back on but nothing happened or maybe it flickered. He got so frustrated by this that he hauled off and punched the poor thing. Once punching it, he realized that the power cord wasn’t completely plugged in behind the machine itself. Upon ensuring that was fixed, it started working well and has ever since.
I feel compelled to assure my readers that while John can be aggressive with inanimate objects, he is not with me or Eva. He also tends to control his knee jerk reactions better when we are around so we rarely witness these outbursts.
If interested, I have twice now made the following whole chicken recipe in our InstaPot and it is amazing. Juicy and tender. https://damndelicious.net/2019/01/15/instant-pot-rotisserie-chicken/
