It's Venecia from thesecondcircle over on LJ. Not keeping up on my own journal, but loving your salon topics and wanted to play too. :)
I should have been more clear about the difference between crock pot and pressure cooker. We love our crock pot for slow cooking soups, stews, broth (certainly no cream of whatever required!). We like the pressure cooker for dealing with a tough cut of meat or beans without a lot of liquid for the nutrients to dissolve into. But interesting to your point about dividing the prep and cooking time, the things we put into the pressure cooker are usually simpler than in the crock pot (chunk of beef, bit of salt and pepper, splash of red wine as liquid). Because we are often at the "it's 5pm what the heck is for dinner?" moment.
I have lots of food hacks. But I'm really interested in whether people have hacks for laundry. It's the one chore that we always seem to struggle to keep up with.
