@slothrop @TechConnectify Are they really the same thing? I know I can cook rice in my instant pot. But can I make stock in a rice cooker in a couple of hours ?

@quixoticgeek that’s precisely the question I’d like @TechConnectify to answer!

I would say: yes, you can definitely make stock in a rice cooker.

It’s a very simple device, providing constant heat until the temperature rises above a certain point. So you can probably just dump in your ingredients, and set it to boil for as long as you want.

@quixoticgeek @TechConnectify OTOH please seek out more informed advice. Until not too long ago, I honestly thought that “instant pot” was a marijuana-based convenience product of some sort 😂😂😂

@slothrop @TechConnectify you can make stock in anything that can boil water. But the key thing with the instant pot is the pressure function. Where as making beef stock on the stove is a job that requires about 12 hours of boiling. In the instant pot it can be done in about 2. The pressure is the point

@quixoticgeek @TechConnectify Ah, I see! So far, I’ve mostly just boiled my stocks for many hours.

But I was thinking about getting a pressure pot anyway.

I also have a wonderful recipe for veggie ramen stock that I can prepare in under an hour
