A couple of months ago I was in a store where seeds were sold. I saw a packet that had multiple kale varieties. I hoped I would have some curly kale and some dinosaur kale.
This was our kale meal for tonight...the first time I have harvested from the GreenStalk. Last year the bugs got the kale. Miserable things! There are at least five different kale varieties in this dish...one of which is the looked-for dinosaur kale but NOT the curly kale. I might plant a few more seeds later in the season and see if I get curly kale. Either way, this was a delightful mess of cooked kale for supper! At least I for one enjoyed it!
The second harvest of wax beans was on the table for supper, as well. I cooked both the kale and the beans in the 3-quart Instant Pot. It appears as if that piece of equipment is on its way out. Last week, for no reason I could ascertain, the top black knob "blew" twice. I washed everything and put in a new gasket. Today the IP did not come up to pressure. I may do some online investigation to see if I can figure it out. If I cannot, I will say goodbye to this one. And probably not replace since we have an 8-quart plus a 6-quart Max that zi use for pressure canning leftovers. That works so good for us since we can can in pint jars, four at a time. Works great.
So: solicitation for help: has anyone had Instant Pot problems they were able to fix? I would love to know what you did. Many thanks.
