yah, I've been kinda curious but I try to stay light on kitchen gadgets (I don't even have a microwave) so I haven't really tried one in earnest. Being able to cook beans from dry would be huge I think, especially in terms of going , so maybe I'll finally do it next time I see one used for cheap. Get rid of the useless air fryer someone gave me last year (I mean I have used it a couple times but I don't think its for me, and this one is mega shitty/cheaply made)
