Tarev, thanks for the feedback. The vent out time sounds understandable...I guess it's like venting out a canner before putting the pressure-weight on...? By "forcing" the vent out, are you talking about turning the heat up that might cause the porridge to boil too much and maybe clog the steam emitter up...thus the reason for it not being recommended?
Well I snoozed through the deal on the 6-quart Duo. I kept debating between the Duo and the Duo Plus. The Plus has a few perks to it, but the price has to be closer to warrant the added cost. It seems the Low and High pressure is desirable(?) but that most cooking is done on the "high" setting. The price on the regular Duo kicked back to regular price now. I think there will be more deals to come...seems Black Friday and Prime Day are regular times of deep discounts...I hope the Plus ends up having a deal on it.
In the meantime I think I'm going to use a pot inside my canner to experiment with some chicken. I won't be able to sear the chicken, though, in the aluminum canner...maybe I can find a "just the right size" stainless still pot...sear the chicken/meat in the SS pot on the stove, then move it over into the canner to pressure cook.
Hmmm....I haven't played in the laboratory since I created the monster with the bolt through it's neck. :greengrin:
Now to find a chicken recipe...
