You want a pressure cooker. Does the same as a slow cooker in about 30 mins. Tasty tender and doesn't take all fuckin day

They should be as long as it's set hot enough to cook chicken. But the big benefit is you can do that in the morning and leave it there all day if you want and you just get really tender chicken.

OwlFancier posted:If it was a bulb it wouldn't heat the sides and also it wouldn't be very efficient. Also it would have to get crazy hot. Slow cookers do get very hot still, they just don't need to always be that hot. You're right about slow cookers though, they're a standard element like what's in an iron.

A probe thermometer is a good thing to have, just so you can check stuff has hit its safe temperature or whatever you want, but generally slow cookers take about 4hrs on high and 8hrs on low to come to bring everything up to temperature (check your manual!) - if you want to be sure and you've only just put it on, you can go for High and that should be fine! Cut into the thighs near the bone (if they have them) and check how done it looks, that's what I'd do if I wasn't sure

A lot of my family work for the NHS, although only my Mum is working directly with covid patients. She's broke down while talking to me about it a few times and there's a certain kind of gut-wrenching when your own parent is so distressed and you can't do anything to help them. It's all so, so poo poo. There isn't enough PPE, and some of the staff have resorted to sewing their own scrubs. Nurses younger than my Mum have died (she's in her late fifties) and the hospital have told all staff that they are not social distancing enough, essentially blaming staff for their own covid infections. None of my Mum's colleagues have been tested either, even those who have recently come back from a period of self-isolation after having symptoms. Some nurses are also working on covid positive wards one day, having a day off work and then working on a covid negative ward the next day. This seems wild to me, surely it would be better to try and keep staff working on positive and negative wards separately? I'll admit I don't know much about hospital staffing though. But I just cannot understand how, if NHS staff are 'heroes', people are just happy to clap at 8pm every Thursday and deem any person who speaks out about the working conditions as 'bringing politics into everything' or 'ungrateful'. Well, I guess I can, because 'heroes' aren't people, they're just cannon fodder. Will my Mum die from covid? Probably not. But her, and so many other NHS staff will be physically and mentally affected by this shitshow of an experience. The Conservatives have been metaphorically killing the NHS for years, now they're doing it literally. I feel so utterly powerless, which I think is why I'm writing it all out. I just can't see how can we hold them to account? How can anything change, when every newspaper and news show is talking about VE day, hiding statistics and avoiding how terrible the UK's response to this is?

I don't have a probe thermometer at the moment, but I popped it in about 2 hours ago and will leave another 3 or so hours on high. Thanks folks. I wanted to try and make sure I tried something different since I am still on furlough for a while. I am so sorry to hear this NMT. That sounds dreadful.

justcola posted:I'm not sure who they'll spin it against though as there's no class of people to blame in particular or weaker group to bully - it'll just be 'the nation brought it on itself' or some nonsense and by being lead to think we're complicit nothing will come of it. (I'm sure the media will find a marginalised group to blame though) they won't blame anyone per se they'll just stop giving it that much attention, as they did with brexit and labour antisemitism.

No More Toast posted:But I just cannot understand how, if NHS staff are 'heroes', people are just happy to clap at 8pm every Thursday and deem any person who speaks out about the working conditions as 'bringing politics into everything' or 'ungrateful'. Well, I guess I can, because 'heroes' aren't people, they're just cannon fodder. It's sort of a just world thing - people want to believe that the government are doing their best, NHS workers are getting what they need, and everyone else's job is to wave a flag and cheer them on until it's over. It's a comfortable narrative that doesn't require any introspection or questions, and any cognitive dissonance around the whole thing can be pushed down by throwing yourself into the Two Minutes Heart or by attacking anyone who threatens that protective bubble by asking questions, suggesting the NHS isn't getting what they need, that they're being let down and the clapping is just about people making themselves feel better, to neutralise any criticism or anger at the government it's not an easy thing to break through, because it's specifically there to dull people's awareness and give them an outlet for their emotions, putting it into something positive. That's hard to challenge. I think the clapping thing needs to be tied into actual support and criticism, so people identify with the idea of actually fighting for the NHS while they work to protect us, and the clapping is a rallying cry and a way of directing energy into activism instead of slacktivism. Like, in general, when people are out in the street banging pots it's not historically been because they're going "yaaaay everything's cool"

Most of the people who are doing it now have never done it before and the reason they're doing it now is because what is happening is recuperation.

Late reply to this, but Pissflaps, assuming that's who you mean, is probably talking about the Solidarity Fund - see the OP for details.

I Apparently putting up all the allied flags was his idea because "if you're making VE day about insular nationalism then you're missing the point." Which is good and fair, and it's fun to see USSR flags out in the wild, but I think a few of those historically accurate flegs are straight up white supremacist symbols now, and someone should remind Michael Fabricant.  I suppose taken as a whole collection they mean 'we fought fascism' rather than 'and then we tried it', and I think they had that debate already because the little paper flegs for the bad ones are deliberately non-prominent.

I only realised today I was always told it was 'Victory over Europe' Day so there you go. My pal who works in a hospital has been telling me some awful stuff, wish I hadn't heard some of it really. Are there support groups for people who work in the NHS I can point him toward?

I’m ok but thank you, 🙂 one of the few times where already being on long term benefits is going to leave me less hosed than most people in this thread in the landlord and sudden lack of income department.

Been non stop operatic national pride style music playing from some street party for the last 2 hours. Just cut off now at exactly 10pm thank christ as it was really starting to grate. The gently caress is wrong with people? We're in a Labour stronghold in a mining/steel town and they all still buy massively into the poo poo Tory VE day propaganda.
