I’m with you.

For meat, I generally prefer dry heat. If we’re doing low and slow, I like slow roasted in the oven, or smoked in an outdoor smoker. If it’s fast heat, like steaks, I prefer it over charcoal. Or burgers on a griddle.

For things where wet cooking works better (steam, poach, braise), a pressure cooker can be a good substitute, but even then I generally prefer the control that comes from being able to add ingredients at different times, open the lid to check on things, adjust temperature or seasonings as necessary, etc.

Basically I very rarely use my pressure cooker. It’s fine for making stocks, and is fine for making beans quickly from dried, but it’s almost never my first choice for any main.

Glad they’re happy but I would be pissed off beyond measure.

Isn’t that the whole point of relationships? For us to understand what we like, what we want, and what we don’t, and find partners who fit those things (while simultaneously fitting their preferences)? And then let people with different preferences and different characteristics find their own matches?

I certainly wouldn’t be this person’s soul mate because like you, I’d be annoyed at the lack of planning and not at all charmed by this particular style of quirkiness. But let other people enjoy the things they enjoy.

Seeing that someone is having trouble signing up, and jumping to the conclusion that it’s the user’s fault, might not even be elitist, just dumb.
