That’s interesting, thanks for the Crock-pot pointer. Is your’s a sealed lid, so the cooking is under pressure and therefore quicker? The keeping the food above the liquid thing is a key for me.

It's this one: https://www.crockpot.co.nz/crockpot-range/crockpot-express-xl-pressure-multicooker or an older version of it. It comes with a pressure cooking lid and glass lid for slow cooking.

I see they do actually make a extra pot + steaming basket accessory for it too: https://www.crockpot.co.nz/crockpot-range/crockpot-express-xl-cooking-pot-and-steamer-basket

I'm sure other brands would have something similar for their cookers too.

I’d need the steamer basket, and thought you’d given me the jackpot with that link. However I see this when looking for a retailer - "Unfortunately there are no available retailers for this product".

Ah well, but thanks again for the suggestion.

That's dumb haha. I had a quick look on Amazon AU and it looks like your could probably get knock off ones that could fit any pressure cooker if you check the dimensions carefully. Probably even cheaper if you check Aliexpress.

Like this one

I’d already done the AliE check, and saw loads of steaming baskets. Of course I would need a pressure cooker as well. Maybe the stove top is the way to go with AliE.

Weirdly I thought stovetop pressure cookers would be cheaper, but apparently not so from a cursory search. We paid like $150 on special for our electric one years ago
