Perfect and inspiring
When I noticed that the majority of people was using the IP to cook big meat pieces, I wasn't sure about purchasing one. But then I decided to try it and I now love it. My diet is mainly plant based, with some goat and sheep dairies, some simple fish and eggs every now and then. So what I make with my IP? 1. Soy yogurt : not that gross thing with rice and other stuff, just milk and probiotics. I used 2 quarts of Westsoty milk at a time and then strain the resulting yogurt obtaining about 6 servings of yogurt and 3-4 of whey that I use in my smoothies --> 10 breakfasts. I also bought a bunch of bananas, a few peaches, some celery, some baby spinach and some young ginger that I chopped and frozen in separated containers so I always have my ingredients fresh and ready for my green smoothie. 2. Bean soups/curries/sausages : I've always hated the long cooking time of beans, so I used to buy tons of canned legumes and eat them basically straight from the can. Now I'm enjoying cooking delicious and creamy soups, experimenting with meat alternatives - with no wheat gluten and other not-so-healthy stuff. 3. Brown rice dishes (as risotto or biryani) : this dishes usually take a quite long time to cook even using refined rice, let alone with brown, right? Nope, right now I enjoy those delicious and flavorful dishes way often since they take the same amount of time of their refined equivalent. Not only my diet is healthier now, but it's also more delicious and I'm even saving some money that I used to spend in tons of fruit and veggies (I mean tons, I used to have a fiber intake of 2-3 times the recommended amount!) and in fancy yogurt. Today I used it to cook some beans that I then used to make bean sausages that I steamed under pressure and right now it's making yogurt. For reference, I'm a food blogger, cookbook author - I have quite a decent amount of experience in the kitchen - and under 30 Italian girl living in the Sf Bay Area, and I'm shocked realizing how much this appliance is making such a difference in my life right now!
