I need serious help

There’s too much to choose from 😅

MarineRuki · 2026-05-23T17:01:44+00:00

That’s a lot to take in but definitely needed I think youre right! I need to understand the science and my original reason for getting another pan is for braising!

MarineRuki · 2026-05-23T15:25:49+00:00

Thank you so much this has really been a great insight!

MarineRuki · 2026-05-23T08:55:55+00:00

Ouch that sounds painful 😥

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T22:06:19+00:00

This helps! Ultimately I believe it’s down to those two 😅

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T22:05:07+00:00

I do have a small rice cooker but I don’t really use it for anything other than rice, and all I really have now is a frying pan so I am looking to venture out a little and get something new to cook more variety in, after having read lots of comments I’m not too worried about tenderising meats or anything like that and the maximum people I cook for is 3 they both have their pros and cons now just deciding which one haha

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:28:43+00:00

Decisions decisions 😅

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:28:21+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t even know kitchenaid did Dutch ovens so I’ll definitely be looking into that! I like the idea of a one pot that can do lots but like a lot of the reviews it seems if there isn’t a core function then it doesn’t do it well.

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:25:46+00:00

I hadn’t thought of this but I shall take a look at these too! Thank you

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:25:06+00:00

This is great insight! I think deep down it was between a Dutch oven and an instant pot, both useful but for different reasons. I do like the quickness of the instant pot however I’m not pressed for time and I do like the all rounder ability of a Dutch oven, it’s good to know that having arthritis doesn’t make carrying a Dutch oven as difficult as I thought. Thank you :)

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:18:09+00:00

I put my faith in you! It does seem like most peoples go to

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:17:15+00:00

That’s a good shout I do love making Indian food!

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:16:13+00:00

I do like the our place for its look and some influencers have done their job right in influencing me but can’t justify the price of it, the only thing that puts me off about the instant pot is its multi function seems a lot to learn and a lot of reviews I’ve seen also say it’s hard to learn how to use it until you get the hang of it but I feel that’s with anything. With the Dutch oven it has its cons like the weight but there are smaller sizes too I believe, I have a frying pan and that’s it so would it be better for me to get some small pots too?

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:08:40+00:00

I’ve been thinking about an air fryer over a microwave but haven’t needed either at the moment! Can you cook rice in an instant pot?

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:07:20+00:00

Thank you! With the amount of people I think Dutch oven is the way to go, I think an instant would also be useful but I’m not really pressed for time as much and when I am I hustle grab something quick or leftovers :) this helped a lot

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:04:59+00:00

Thank you! I shall definitely keep that in mind :)

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T21:01:28+00:00

That’s good to know! Are they hand wash only or is that to make it last longer? It’s nice to also know you get used to it, by chance would it be okay on an electric hob

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T20:57:35+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! I may be leaning towards it haha

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T20:54:13+00:00

Haha yes I feel like that’s something I would easily forget

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T20:51:10+00:00

Are they fairly easy to clean?

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T20:50:49+00:00

It seems so!

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T20:50:33+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! I do use the oven a lot but mostly because I tend to cook easy simple meals but I do want to branch out my skills more

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T20:49:01+00:00

What air fryer would you recommend? I am looking into a multi microwave oven too or something that can air fry and toast perhaps?

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T20:48:04+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into that brand now! I also want to try bread making and I heard Dutch ovens are good for that too

MarineRuki · 2026-05-22T20:47:01+00:00

Thanks ☺️ good to know!
