Made some mini chiffrons. Tasted like dust and dirt. Horrible. Crumbled and made me choke and spit for 10min. Felt like coughing up chalk dust. Lol.

If the above are ‘constraints’ then nothing to really add just maybe play around with portion sizing. If your not constrained all my sauces I like whole peeled (which I break up by hand and remove stems) and even ratio of crushed. Also like to brown the tomato paste first a little in the pot for...

Yea sorry was giving an alternative to save imo some headache. Follow Chief’s advice. Never found him to give bad advice. :)

I have an Instantpot Chief and honestly I prefer the Dutch oven. Texture is better. If I need it quicker though I will do it that way. It’s slightly off so not that I don’t like it but texture tends to come out better for me in Dutch oven. Maybe I just need to play with the times more or something.

My niece just used the Neiman Marcus recipe and turned out great. Maybe worth a shot https://www.neimanmarcus.com/c/nm-nm-cookie-recipe-cat62250745

Made some chili tonight. Went a little spicy this time. :)

For me onions between med and med-low depending on how much time I have to cook/break them down. The longer the time I have the lower I may leave the temp. For kicks try splashing in some orange juice after cooking say 20min and let it soak them in. Some people like it some don’t. Worth...
