OK I think I regained a little sanity for the time being. (Think, not guarantee)
Another great sale on right now is the Sealy Posturepedic Atwater Queen mattress for $100 off @ $399.99 and Atwater boxspring for $20 off @ $79.99.
We have 2 of those mattresses and we both love it, and that price is well worth it. So if you’re in the market for an upgrade in the mattress department jump on this one, literally!
Oh well, a bad pun is always worth a shot!
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before but I am curious about the InstantPot, people seem to be in love with them.
You also know I do love my kitchen gadgets so I need to know is this a winner, or a bust??? Also if I have a crock pot, is an instant pot redundant?
Please share your thoughts in the comments!
On that note I’ll give the sales their time to shine as it’s my time to hit the sack.
G’night folks, stay safe and healthy!
Since we are in the second wave of COVID-19 I think it’s important to remember that we’re not out of the corona virus weeds yet, and each province has their own Health recommendations based on the provinces individual risk assessment and I would recommend that you follow the recommendations for your specific province. Information can be found at the following websites.
So there you go, a little reading material for you.
Be kind, be safe and stay healthy!

That InstaPot is a really good buy. I would get it if I didn’t already have one. All a crockpot can do is slow cook and the InstaPot can do that plus a lot more. It will make your crock pot and rice cooker redundant plus it can sauté and is a pressure cooker.
Instant Pot…DEFINITELY worth the hype. There is a learning curve (thank you internet), I now have 2! I got rid of my slow cookers. Meals are much better in IP, hardly use my stove/oven anymore, easy on cleanup. I find you don’t really need a lot of pre-programs and wifi options. Making flavourful soups 30 minute cooking time. You need to understand though, the machine does take time to come to pressure and somethings require natural pressure release (or manually release)…. the advantage is you don’t have to hang around the kitchen as it cooks.
A very good dump and go option. BTW, you’ll need to stock up on broth… my favorite is Better Than Bouillon (it was the most economical).
Thank you! Love love LOVE my Instant Pot. Maybe a little redundant but you can use it so many ways & saves pots & pan cause you can sauté in it. Even boils eggs perfectly. Faster meal prep.
Thank you!
My daughter-in-law has had an Instant Pot for a few years and loves it. My daughter received one this Christmas and she’s used it almost every day since!
Love my instant pot. Great if you want to save time and your in a hurry. Haven’t used my crockpot for over a year. My daughter gave me the air fryer lid for Christmas just getting use to it.
Absolutely L O V E my Instant Pot…forgot to take out something for dinner, no problem…..frozen chicken quarters 22 minutes (plus the time to pressurize) 5 minutes on the grill with your fav BBQ sauce….fast and delicious. Soup, vegetables, ribs..haven’t been disappointed with the results. I wouldn’t purchase a 6 quart..8 or better. Just the two of us and I found that the 6 was just too small and you really don’t need too many bells and whistles..well at least I don’t!
Thank you for your weekly Blog..I never go shopping till I view it.
P.S. have you noticed that cat food..dry or wet hasn’t been on sale for a very long time? Just wondering!
I have two InstantPots. I have the 3 quart Duo (fabulous for side dishes and morning oatmeal) and the 8 quart Lux (the very basic of the models) and I LOVE them. I use them at least once a week. There’s a learning curve with them as with most new electronic appliances with lots of functions. I’m even considering getting this 6 quart that’s on sale because it’s a better everyday size as we’re only three adults in our home.
Love the IP and have given so many out to friends and family over the years. I am on my own, so I have the 3 quart, which is perfect even for 2 people (ie 1lb of meat in it cooks well for a bolognese or stew). I think the 6quart is perfect for a family of 2-4. I never put mine away…brown rice, quinoa, millet all cook so easily in it. Along with risotto, Indian dqals, beef/lamb stews and curries, stock, etc. Can’t go wrong with an IP.
I love it. an insta pot allows you to go from frozen to the table in an hour or less depending on the size of the protein . soups and stews from start to finish can be 30 min or so. a 3 lb frozen chicken 25 min . cut turnip in 1/2 inch slices cut carrot in half (not length ways) potato’s I leave unless large 8 min your done. Its a pressure cooker but with bells and whistles that make it very useable. I do Beans from dry in 1 1/2 hour. I even did an 8 lb turkey and it was excellent. I haven’t had luck with searing or browning and timing is important ( I did a 6 lb ham and over
cooked it at 35 min) For the price you can’t loose
Well that sure is a lotta marked down clothing! Those kids pj’s @$2.97 beats the dollar stores in price and quality. Wish they came in my size 😉
We had that yummy butter chicken last night for supper and lots for leftovers, yay!
Thanks for all this…. nothing I need (want?) this week so I can stay safe at home and listen to the coy-wolves yowling in my backyard 🐺. Spoooky!
Cheers n chill, Jan
I’ve had the same question as you about a slow cooker and insta pot. I looked at Youtube videos for insta pot recipes and decided it was not worth it for me as I love to cook on and in the stove. On the other hand I have a small aroma rice cooker which my spouse and I adore, so easy to make perfect rice and steam vegetables. If I was to buy an Insta pot I’m guessing I would only use it to make rice and steam vegetables which my aroma rice cooker already does.
Thank you again for your weekly posts. My nearest Costco warehouse is a two hour drive (four hours back and forth) and because of you I only go when it is “worth” it for me and buy in bulk. It also saves me from going in winter and therefor preventing me from potential accidents.
in regards to the Instant Pot, it is excellent for cooking beans etc from a dry state also good for meats (shredded chicken, ribs etc), steel cut oats, rice and bone broth. I don’t personally have a crock pot but would assume the final result of the meats would be similar in the crock pot vs instant pot. The instant pot will likely cook faster than the crock pot although please note if you set the instant pot to 15 mins, that is not your total cook time, there is still time to bring up to pressure and come down from pressure so likely 25 mins or so in total (rough estimate). The con is its quite big. Overall its a staple in my kitchen 🙂 thanks again for your blog it is excellent!
The IP is definitely not a very effective slow cooker but I honestly don’t need my slow cooker anymore anyways, I just pressure cook stuff instead. And let me tell you, my IP has been a game changer! Chick peas in 20 minutes, lentils in 20 minutes, all from dehydrated beans. Frozen pork chops to cooked food in around half an hour. I love that thing 🙂 Allegedly it make great cheese cake and yogurt but I have not tried those.
Thanks for your weekly emails! I have and love my Instant Pot; however, if you like to cook large quantities to freeze some, the 6 qt IP is not big enough. I started with a 6 qt but soon realized it was too small for cooking large batches. I gave it to a friend and bought the 8 qt IP. I use it for both “slow” cooking and pressure cooking. I love to make stews, pot roast, chili, soups, etc … a large batch of split pea soup takes only 15 minutes instead of 2 hours!
Sadly the instant pot $69 is not offered in Peterborough. Went to Costco on Tuesday and it’s still $99. Thus would have been a great item in my household.
IP All the way! Thanks for the time you take week after week! And I really appreciate the text added under each picture, I forwarded this to my blind friend and he showed me how it sounds with his on-screen reader… That text is a game-changer for him.
That InstaPot is a really good buy. I would get it if I didn’t already have one. All a crockpot can do is slow cook and the InstaPot can do that plus a lot more. It will make your crock pot and rice cooker redundant plus it can sauté and is a pressure cooker.
Definitely buy that instant pot, the pressure tenderizes foods so fast you absolutely won’t regret it!
Thank you
Wow!! There lots to get!
Thank you 🙏

I haven’t had luck with searing or browning and timing is important ( I did a 6 lb ham and over
cooked it at 35 min) For the price you can’t loose
Thanks. 👍👍 😷 🇨🇦
Well that sure is a lotta marked down clothing! Those kids pj’s @$2.97 beats the dollar stores in price and quality. Wish they came in my size 😉
We had that yummy butter chicken last night for supper and lots for leftovers, yay!
Thanks for all this…. nothing I need (want?) this week so I can stay safe at home and listen to the coy-wolves yowling in my backyard 🐺. Spoooky!
Cheers n chill, Jan
I’ve had the same question as you about a slow cooker and insta pot. I looked at Youtube videos for insta pot recipes and decided it was not worth it for me as I love to cook on and in the stove. On the other hand I have a small aroma rice cooker which my spouse and I adore, so easy to make perfect rice and steam vegetables. If I was to buy an Insta pot I’m guessing I would only use it to make rice and steam vegetables which my aroma rice cooker already does.
Thank you again for your weekly posts. My nearest Costco warehouse is a two hour drive (four hours back and forth) and because of you I only go when it is “worth” it for me and buy in bulk. It also saves me from going in winter and therefor preventing me from potential accidents.
in regards to the Instant Pot, it is excellent for cooking beans etc from a dry state also good for meats (shredded chicken, ribs etc), steel cut oats, rice and bone broth. I don’t personally have a crock pot but would assume the final result of the meats would be similar in the crock pot vs instant pot. The instant pot will likely cook faster than the crock pot although please note if you set the instant pot to 15 mins, that is not your total cook time, there is still time to bring up to pressure and come down from pressure so likely 25 mins or so in total (rough estimate). The con is its quite big. Overall its a staple in my kitchen 🙂 thanks again for your blog it is excellent!
The IP is definitely not a very effective slow cooker but I honestly don’t need my slow cooker anymore anyways, I just pressure cook stuff instead. And let me tell you, my IP has been a game changer! Chick peas in 20 minutes, lentils in 20 minutes, all from dehydrated beans. Frozen pork chops to cooked food in around half an hour. I love that thing 🙂 Allegedly it make great cheese cake and yogurt but I have not tried those.
Thanks for your weekly emails! I have and love my Instant Pot; however, if you like to cook large quantities to freeze some, the 6 qt IP is not big enough. I started with a 6 qt but soon realized it was too small for cooking large batches. I gave it to a friend and bought the 8 qt IP. I use it for both “slow” cooking and pressure cooking. I love to make stews, pot roast, chili, soups, etc … a large batch of split pea soup takes only 15 minutes instead of 2 hours!
Sadly the instant pot $69 is not offered in Peterborough. Went to Costco on Tuesday and it’s still $99. Thus would have been a great item in my household.
IP All the way! Thanks for the time you take week after week! And I really appreciate the text added under each picture, I forwarded this to my blind friend and he showed me how it sounds with his on-screen reader… That text is a game-changer for him.
