I also have it all on counter and my Vitamix is the permanent fixture, I'm even scared to call it useless coz the kinda drama I gave to buy that. For this in my house my DH is the one who usually buy all the useless stuff
@jskls..yup I use it for everything except for urad daal vadai batter for which i use my wet grinder. The one from costco also comes with a dry grinder and I use it for making rice rava for upma etc.
Hmm it can and it cant For dosa /idli /adai batters which have a little more water content it handles the urad well ...but to make nicely shaped vadais which dont soak up too much oil there should be less water content in the batter while ground really well. I havent been able to do that in vitamix.
Wait, I didn't know this was a special thing! Holy smokes, I thought everybody did it this way. The 'no baby-sitting' is exactly it. A regular pressure cooker has two flaws: (a) It's a potential bomb and (b) the hiss carries negative Pavlovian associations -- having woken up to that sound every single day in childhood reminds me that I might have to actually get up and go to school .... ugh, oblivious to the fact that my Mum had to get up even earlier to get that darned thing going. So yes, I have two versions of an insta-pot device - a Zojirushi induction/pressure blah-blah (overpriced, but utterly reproducible performance!) and one that looks like the IP, but is a different brand. No soaking rajma or chole, excellent basmati/wild-rice pulao (mmmmmm!) or brown-rice. They work like a charm.
@sokanasanah u are making me envious..just looked up Zojirushi and read the reviews. One more burning kochen...why no profile pic ? Something along these lines
