I use mine for steaming idlis too. I like my hard boiled eggs cooked to exactly 10 mins on the stovetop and haven't quite gotten the same results in the IP. Besides the usual curries etc, I absolutely love using the yogurt Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-2294274721135631672019-06-13T13:29:29.062-05:002019-06-13T13:29:29.062-05:00Hi Johanna- Yes, the shelter houses animals (surre...Hi Johanna- Yes, the shelter houses animals (surrendered by owners/ rescued by animal cops from dangerous or abusive situations/ strays), they are spayed/neutered and vaccinated and then people come in and adopt them for a nominal fee.

I too will continue to use my good old pressure cooker regularly, but am definitely enjoying the IP and find myself using it on an almost daily basis. Since posting this, I made steamed broccoli, upma and chana masala and all were fantastic.
