Instant Pot? Air fryer? Bread maker? No, no and no, thank you.

All I need is my rice cooker.

I don’t own one of the newer models either, with all the bells and whistles that will cook your rice, wash your dishes then give you a back massage. I’ve had the same Tatung since I moved into my first apartment 20-plus years ago, and it was a hand-me-down when I got it. These bad boys are indestructible — buy one and you’re set for life.

Sony has unveiled a new program called FlavorGraph that uses AI technology to let you know which ingredients, in theory, go well together when cooking.

FlavorGraph uses a deep learning system developed by Sony and researchers at Korea University, who examined the molecular contents of ingredients and how they’ve been used traditionally in recipes. The researchers and programmers came up with a large database that includes the profiles of 1,561 flavor molecules.

Cream cheese adds an all too familiar thick, creamy, rich tang to the cut sides of bagels, in between layers of carrot cake, in bowls of flavorful party dips, and more. But what if you’re halfway into a recipe only to realize that someone used your cream cheese to slather on their cinnamon raisin bread this morning, leaving you several tablespoons short?

Kosher Instant Pot cookbook aims at home cooks facing 52 soups a year

2 days ago James Brave

Kosher cookbook author Paula Shoyer was admittedly late to the Instant Pot game.

The Washington, DC-based kosher chef had resisted buying one of the electronic multicookers, mostly because she did not feel like making space for it in her appliance-crowded kitchen.
