used it to make butternut squash soup tonight. mmm, so good. sweet, savory and slightly spicy.


butternup squash, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garam masala, nutmeg, baking soda, olive oil and a bit of vanilla unsweetened almond milk.



tempted to eat it all.

seeing this: aluminum, stainless steel or some coating?

you mixture looks nice though except for the baking soda (no need) and the almond milk (proper full cream milk or none)

its stainless steel. i dont think an aluminum one would be strong enough to withstand the pressure unless quite thick.

the baking soda makes it carmelize, which normally a pressure cooker cant do.

i cant drink milk, so i use the almond...

good that it's stainless steel, there are some which are aluminum coated though - that's why i was asking

haven't tried that, have to look into that
i cant drink milk, so i use the almond...


ah, but be sure that you check the ingredients
there are some decent almond or oat based milks
but many are like chemical factories (like the soy varieties)

you should consider branching out a bit:
beetroot cooks far faster and the same with chickpeas (if you want to make your own houmus/hummus)

i use almond breeze. mainly because i can get it cheap at costco, but its pretty good, too. ive tried soy milk in the past, i cant have much of that, either.



not a big beet fan, but i might use it for potatoes and other things too. not saying im ONLY gonna use it for soups, but thatll be one of the main things...


(lol, i just noticed that i typed butternuP squash...)
