   @TechConnectify I had the counter space for either an instant pot, or an air fryer, and the ability to make stock easier won out.

   Is the instant pot on your list of appliances to do a video about ?

     @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 ?

     @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

     @slothrop @quixoticgeek While they are rare in the west, some state of the art rice cookers for the asian market are pressure cookers (sometimes even with induction heating!). They usually have a bunch of non-rice cooking programs. At least in the western country where I live, I think you tend to not see these mostly because they're too upmarket for most people to stomach the cost.
