You’re welcome. Yea when I saw it, I thought I should mentioned it because it seemed to me that you wanted a kind of equipment that can do multiple tasks all in one.

In fact I think I might give it a try myself since I’m going to be in Germany temporarily and I can’t take my kitchen gadgets with me. This might solve the problem of trying to get a new air fryer, rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker etc.

If I do, I’ll let you know if it’s worth it.


If you do, kindly drop a review on it

I’ve had my pressure cooker for years with no issues.The pressure only comes on when it’s on the pressure cooking mode. You’re not supposed to open it until it’s done decompressing. When it’s on the setting for slow cooker, rice cooker, sautéing etc there’s no pressure.

Alternatively, you can look into a slow cooker if you’re worried about the pressure in pressure pots. Had one for years as well and it’s very handy for things like beans, slow cooked ribs and soups (oyibo style). Just put all the ingredients in at once, close it and go to work. Everything will be ready by the time you get back.

But our typical Nigerian meals are best made stove top. Because of their deep flavor profiles, they can be complex and their various ingredients need different cooking times.

Thank you for taking your time to explain

Saw the other mention concerning Amazon... That one will be quite expensive as it also does the work of an air fryer... Kind of an all-in-one equipment... "gbogbotigbo"... Lol

Haven't seen it in the stores I've visited sha... I'll most likely go for the pressure cooker

@radautoworks, think I'll just go for the electric, due to the fact that there won't really be any need to babysit it unlike the manual... Although I'll have to confirm from her first, as I saw where you wrote the manual cooks larger meal

Thanks @ all... I'm grateful

Not really. Rice cooker is just for rice.

Most of these recipes need you to open the pot occasionally to add an ingredient or stir. Rice cooker works best when it’s closed for the duration of the cooking. I’ve see a video of someone using it for fried rice but they basically had to add everything all at once and then close it. I don’t see how that would be a good fried rice recipe.

However instant pot (pressure cooker) has different settings for other types of meals including rice cooker setting. So if you’re looking for one equipment that can cook rice and do all that, the pressure pot would be your friend. I don’t use my pressure cooker for rice or any of the other recipes it’s programmed for but I just know the manufacturer claims it can do all that.

Happy cooking. Don’t burn yourself 😘

Lol @ don't burn yourself

How safe is a pressure cooker? Have heard stories of them exploding and all...

Please, anyone that has used rice cooker, I get question

Can the rice cooker be used to prepare meals like stew, soup, meat stock, e.t.c, or is it just for preparing rice and boiling egg?

I'll like to know the other meals it can be used to prepare

Also, for those that make doughnuts at home, how do you know when "e don don enter"? (Don't really know how to put it in proper English... How will you know that e don don... You know, to avoid opening the doughnut to find out that the inside is still raw dough)

Thank you

I think GUO should have a whatsapp number like Libra motors

Libra will even call randomly during the journey just to know how the journey is going... When you chat the head office up on whatsapp and lay your complaint, they'll reply and attend to it immediately

Most times, the driver might even be changed at the next Libra check-in point or he'll apologise to you all... The next day, the company will still call or send a message to apologize for what happened the previous day

I haven't boarded God is Good motors, but out of all the ones I've boarded, Libra is the only one that does that

You don't say that an influential man, a political party gubernatorial candidate is wifeless at this crucial time and think people will keep quiet. By that statement, she's indirectly telling people he is an irresponsible man who doesn't fit to become a governor. It was attack on his private life.

Properties / Re: D0nt Be Broke Because You Are Building A Home by Yampotatocarrot(m): 3:40pm On Sep 01
money121:
D0nt be broke because you are building a home.

"You've managed to save 10 million, your first big savings, but the only thing you can think of doing is starting to build a duplex in your village? Tomorrow, you'll come out and say that your village people are after your business. Don't use your first savings or business money to build in your village. The house you build in your village is a waste of money; it won't return any income. Instead, it will set your business in town back. Building a house is not like buying a car. The money used to buy a car may not affect your business because it's a one-time expense. However, the money used in building a house can close your business because you'll keep spending until the house is finished.

So.my advice to you is to not use your first money to build a house in the village. If you must do so, learn how to build according to your earnings, like the example I posted.

How many rooms are in that image you posted? I love the minimalist design

This response from the company is so watery or is it the OP that edited it and make it look absurd?

They said they didn't abandon any project, yet said work was stopped due to government not paying compensation to home owners

Why going to court to stop the state government from inviting the directors? Let them go and clear their company's name na?

Obi1kenobi:


Again, this is just a nonsense talking point. I don't know what you mean by "Owerri zone fought". Fought how? It's not that easy (and a waste of resources) to relocate an entire university. Nothing stopped all these Orlu zone governors from building universities in Orlu, since many Orlu village men with no imagination think that only universities bring urban development - even though Onitsha does not have one single university or tertiary institution of any kind (technical colleges, nursing colleges, teaching institutes etc) and is still by far the most populated and urbanized area of Anambra.

You people's Owerri envy no go kill you sha. I've said it many times in this thread that I have heard many groups of people crying marginalization in Nigeria (usually because they are forgotten, abandoned minorities in their state) but Orlu people are the first and only existing people in Nigeria that I've heard crying marginalization despite ruling the state for over 20 out of the last 25 years in Imo state (the Owerri zone ruling for less than ONE year), and having big majorities in the Imo House of Assembly. Una no get shame at all, sha and you don't know how silly you sound to the rest of us.

I've learnt to overlook the Orlu talks... How can a group of people that have been ruling for most of the state's existence still be complaining of marginalisation... It just doesn't make sense to a rational mind

Okay, let's give them this option... Since their Orlu men have refused to develop Orlu, can they help us vote an Owerri/Mbaise man in the next election, so that he can help them develop their local government?

Uzodinma - he uses Craneburg for his road projects.

You're correct about the road projects... You won't believe I spent below 30-45 minutes from Owerri to Mbaise (Aforogbe), because of the ongoing road construction... And no be say the driver speed o

I saw a literal transformation in the road beside Okeyson motors park... That place was just bushes, no road AT ALL, just some footpaths... I used to lodge in a hotel in that area and would have to follow the bush path, except whe I'm carrying load and use uber... But was surprised how a SMOOTH, TARRED ROAD was carved out of that area

Although I noticed they're trying to reduce the width of the road in some areas ... I'll suggest that they shouldn't... Anybody that built along the road should have their property removed, no selective demolition

I just dey reason how them wan do am if they reach that Egbu area wey those people don build reach express road already, reducing the road to just one two lanes... That might even be the reason Rochas didn't extend the road beyond FRSC area

Hope might not have been the choice of the people, but in terms of road construction, let's give it to him... All the house of assembly members in Imo state are just statues, nothing to their name, no project, nothing nothing... They should come and take a three months course from their Lagos counterparts

Rossikk:


Yes. Beer.

You can even use Stout.

I’ve made a stew before with just stout.

It was AMAZING.

The key to cooking with alcohol is to ensure it cooks down well, for at least 15 mins, so that you don’t taste the fresh alchohol flavour.

It will end up with a deep, rich taste that will compliment your added spices and onions, meat, stock cubes, pepper etc.

As in, you use beer to cook stew... Thats a first for me

If I may ask, does it get one drunk the same way using weed to cook beans makes one high?

Thanks for this explanation, but if I may ask, does that mean LASU will not have a faculty of medicine again, since they'll be carved out to form a new University?

I love the fact Lagos is stabdardising University education, from LASUED to LASUSTECH and now this... It remains a university of agriculture, maybe somewhere in Epe

Next is to make sure departments are reshuffled... If a school is a university of education, let them concentrate on education, if it's about agriculture, let them concentrate on that... Not like some schools that are specific, but want to offer ALL courses

Education / Re: FG To Enforce 18-Year Age Limit For WAEC, NECO Exams by Yampotatocarrot(m): 6:12am On Aug 27
Almunjid:

Lol. What did you just call them? Children? In that case, both university campuses with their adult lifestyle and marriage are not suitable for children. You make a valid point when you say we should adopt what is right. However, we cannot allow underage children to enter environments primarily meant for adults. While some of these children may be academically gifted, they might not be ready for the adult lifestyle prevalent on university campuses. Exposing them to such environments could end up corrupting them.

There are only two options: either consider 16-year-olds as adults and allow them admission to universities, or maintain the age limit at 18 and discourage underage children from being admitted into universities.

In many cases, these children are not exceptional; their parents simply rush them through their education. Some of them don't even complete Primary 6 or SS3. Some write the WAEC as early as SS1.
While those with good and retentive memories may find it easy to acquire "knowledge", but the ability to "comprehend" and "apply" that knowledge generally improves with "maturity".


Peace!

I love the way you put forth your arguments

Can we bring this before the minister also, if we are to agree to the 18years for admission, can that same age be used for marriage and anyone marrying a girl below the age be prosecuted?
