Instant Pot--again
The world has turned to almost normal for a few days and I took advantage of that to make beef stew (recipe here a couple of years ago). I got it on (as a slow cooker) latter than I wanted at 1 PM but thought it might work. About 4 PM I gave it a check---and no good. The flavor was not developing as it should---so I gave it a shot of tomato powder and fish sauce and converted it to a pressure cooker---on high pressure for 25 minutes.
Success 
If you have one of these but it sits in the cabinet---give it a try--they are pretty cool 
Another advantage is that it is far easier on the a/c than cooking on the stove, a fraction of the time and energy
