I could make one of those. Wondering if I should go with stainless steel or brass?

I was thinking one of the hardest things for me to do, that I do regularly, would be to peel and chop an onion, and here is a solution. Thanks for linking this. I’m happy to know it exists, if I ever need one.

Bursitis has completely stopped me from using my left arm. I was trying to think about what could be cooked with just one arm.

This is where pantry clean out met up with my upcoming Sunday edition Heathcliff edit. I can cook spam with just one arm.

The only scratch made element in this is some mustard seed caviar I made a while back. I put some of it in the spice blender to cream it up a little. It went excellent with this otherwise depression causing meal.

Cost per person: $4

It is very expensive to cook from completely prepackaged foods.

It’s fully doped up on prednisone, antibiotics and ibuprofen so that it can get a job.

I think mine has stainless in it, because it’s cheap. If you have brass on hand, why not? I think it’ll be strong enough, I’d just wonder about corrosion at the point where it meets the board

I’d have to buy the neils either way. Brass is food safe and more antimicrobial than stainless. And would look better with the wood I would use instead of plastic. Wood is also naturally antimicrobial. A small amount of Titebond III and the join would be water proof.

Split pea and lentil soup. Get dried green split peas and dried red lentils. Put them in a pot, pour in water, add stock or salt and some dried parsley and thyme, bring to a boil then simmer for 1~1.5 hours.

Cheap, filling, healthy, and a lot of filler ingredients work in it if you want to change it up. I’m recovering from a crushed ankle, on a crutch so I’ve had to figure out one handed recipes to a degree.

Another good one if you have a rice cooker - coconut milk, lime juice, peanut butter and some sugar. Melt it all together, have it on rice. Again, something that’s adaptable for adding other ingredients.

I knew you’d know if it’s suitable, haha.

The one thing I hate about the one I have is that it’s made of plastic. You’ll have to share pics when you have made yours!

My first thought: how’d you open the cans? But I guess you must have an electric can opener.

Break your other arm and have your stepmom cook for you.

I tossed the rice cooker 16 years ago. Never as reliable as a pot and took up space.

We were also in a time crunch because we had to eat and drop a kitten off for transport to their new rescue home.

A pressure cooker is also great for cooking rice if you have one. I used to swear by cooking it on the stove, but now my pressure cooker rice is just as good as the stove but way more hands off.

Can you provide the timing and water rice ratio? A pressure canner doesn’t release as much steam so I’m thinking less water? But also it only takes about 15 minutes of zero stress in a pot but if you get distracted with a pressure canner on such a small amount of time it’s going to burn.

I do 1 part rice, 1.5 parts water by weight. My usual recipe is 400g rice, 600g water. Rinse the rice until it doesn’t make the water cloudy when you mix it anymore and drain thoroughly, then add your recipe water. For my instant pot I do 6 minutes and let it do a natural pressure release which takes about fifteen minutes, so it does end up with the usual twenty minutes at temperature. I don’t think I would bother using a stove top pressure cooker for rice, though.
