5. Years ago when I had a lot more discretionary income, I bought a Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker.

Man, I love that thing! I use it weekly, sometimes twice a week. Mostly dried beans, but also potatoes, butternut squash, & artichokes, too. Now I'm looking at solar ovens cuz I live in a really sunny area.

Rice is super easy on the stovetop. Put your water & rice in a pan, bring to a boil, put a lid on the pan, & lower the heat so the water just simmers. It may take a few times to figure out what setting that is on your stove. Then cook for 30 minutes. Remove from heat & let sit for five minutes. Stir & eat. Also, if you're using rice for stir-fry or in salads, always chill it first or it will just stick & ruin your dish.

Now I'm going to look for that Grandma Porter's Depression potato soup recipe.
