For Christmas this year, my parents wanted to buy me a slow-cooker, because mine is dreadful and also terrifyingly cheap. So we went shopping around for some slow-cookers on Black Friday, which was fascinating, and we found a slow-cooker. But not just a slow-cooker.

A seven in one slow cooker.

It has specific buttons for rice and porridge and yogurt. It can sautee! It possibly provides a gateway to a dimension of enlightenment. I don't even know what all it does. Why does it have a meat button AND a poultry button?

But the most interesting thing is that it is a pressure cooker, and it uses the pressure cooker to cook many other things. Like rice.

I am pressure-cooking rice.

This will definitely go well.

If you're gonna buy, I'd wait for a sale -- they usually run in the $130 range, but I got mine for $70 on a Black Friday sale and there will probably be some in January too as they clean out back stock.

The slow-cooker function probably still puts out a good deal of heat, but there are a lot of things you can pressure-cook instead, and that's not only cooler, but also faster.
