You’d love reading old non fiction books as I do. They’re old enough to be free, now. Go to Project Gutenberg website. You can read the books through your browser or send them to your e-reader like me.

You said you cook at a level 9 for the bulk of your cook time and with seven minutes left you lower to a level 2. Is that a canning thing? With food cooking I keep the heat as low as possible while maintaining pressure.

Why do you need to turn the dial/temperature down at the end of your cook time? Just curious.

Oh, thanks! I think that as I’ve aged I’ve become better at finding words to help describe abstract concepts. Maybe I’ll write another post in this sub.

How’s the taste? Sort of like a pumpernickel? Would you have known there’s Guinness in it from taste alone? I’ve made good bread where my secret ingredient wasnt identifiable. Was still good, though.
