The possibility of having dinner cook itself while I'm at work is what drove me to purchase this:
It's huge. I ordered it online and I guess I didn't have a good concept of what 7 quarts of cooking capacity looks like. Turns out, it looks like half our kitchen counter space. For my first time using it, I wanted to start off with something easy so I made a
black bean soup. The soup, to be honest, was just good. Not anything fantastic. The cumin yogurt (crème fraîche if you don't live in a humble neighborhood in queens) thing on top is essential...and maybe a piece of cornbread along with it would push this into the awesome category.
Even though its just good, it does have a lot of other qualities going for it: cheap, healthy, quick, and easy. All the things I look for in a weeknight meal. Or um, should I say, four weeknight meals in a row.
