Friend Loaned Me His Instant Pot Until My Warranty Replacement Rice Cooker Arrives
[ Sunday March 24th 2024 at 12:45 pm ]
Yesterday my multi-cooker broke. While it was cooking up a few meals worth of rice, vegetables and meat balls some how the steam got into the control panel. All the LEDs for the various cooking modes started flashing. It made the control panel look like a Christmas tree. I can't use it going forward. This is unsafe. It could start a fire. I have owned it for less than a year. The manufacturer is going to replace it under warranty. I am glad about this.
This leaves me with a predicament of what I am going to do until the warranty replacement arrives in up to 3 weeks from now. I have been almost exclusively using this took my meals. The reason I have been doing this is on account of my artificial hip that is failing. The multi-cooker shuts itself off when the cooking cycle is complete. With just how unreliable my artificial hip now is I have been using the multi-cooker as a meaning of preventing an accidental kitchen fire. Also I am extremely weak. I am concerned that I might fall asleep while food is cooking and this result in a house fire.
One of my friends in town has come through for me. He has loaned me his Instant Pot. The idea is for me to use this to cook my meals in until my warranty replacement unit arrives. When the multi-cooker broke I felt very vulnerable. I really don't want to use the stove top burners until my artificial hip has been addressed. With how bad it is failing I think there is a very real possibility of having another operation. This is my system for cooking meals now.
In short my friend Joe has really come through for me. I just don't have the words for how grateful I am feeling. Besides dropping his Instant Pot Joe has made me feel special. When he was here he asked me how I am doing in terms of how much my damn artificial hip is impacting my life. I really appreciate it when my friends ask me this. I don't feel alone as I am going through the circumstances caused by my artificial hip failing me. This helps me co-exist with all the pain I am experiencing as a result of the hip being in hardware failure.
