I have discovered the joys of my slow cooker. It is a rather
old but useable Rival Crock-Pot ... The Crock-Pot I'd love to
get is https://tinyurl.com/3rw5n2b7
With the whole world buying Insta-Pots, I imagine yard sales and the thrift shops are awash with pretty good, really cheap crock pots!
Here's an easy crockpot recipe. Turkey drumsticks and thighs are
pretty cheap, taste better than chicken and available all year round
these days. Of course this is NOT BBQ by any stretch of the
imagination!

You might be surprised. People seem to be holding on to them which is
a good thing I'd say.

I gave my Instant Pot away and kept my Crock Pots.

I toyed with getting an Insta-Pot for a while but didn't bother in
the end. They only have one function I can't duplicate with what
I've already got, and that's pressure cook. And since I've never
pressure cooked anything in the past 72 years why start now? With
enough patience crockpotting, stovetop simmering and oven braising
all produce the same results.
And the latest new thing, air fryers, don't tempt me at all.

I have two pressure cookers ... for cooking beans.
Title: Elise's Refried Beans
2 1/2 c Dry pinto beans
1/2 c Chopped onion
2 tb (or more) lard, bacon fat,
Cheddar cheese (opt)
some minced serrano, chipotle or jalapeno.

I'm just patient. [g]
My method:
Day 1 - soak for a full day with just a pinch of salt, sugar and
baking soda added to the water. The salt is for flavour but these
days I ration myself. The sugar help old beans taste more like
younger ones harvested earlier in the season. The baking soda help
soften the beans and cook them faster; the result is creamy
textured.
Day 2 - in the morning bring just to a slow boil and turn off the
heat. Continue soaking. In the evening, repeat.
Day 3 - the now fully rehydrated beans will cook quickly in 30 to
45 minutes and be very soft and creamy.

I just finished a batch using kidney beans, onion and garlic,
bacon fat, cumin and minced fresh Colorado chilies. I fried it all
in a cast iron pan until the bottom layer got dry and crusty.
I've never added any kind of cheese to mine though. I've noticed
that Americans tend to use copious amounts of cheese in their
cheesy dishes and add it to more things than other nationalities.
