So far I'm at "I can get dahl started in it and it'll be done by the time I've reasonably-rapidly got the other curries made", which is super useful! And, apparently, I Can Be Bothered To Cook Dried Beans. (So the black bean soup is on the list to do, as is sweetened red bean paste for BOBA, which I made a couple of times the long slow way five years back and ABSOLUTELY cannot be bothered with again.)

(it might also be possible to preserve baby figs this way in finite time???)
