              Bidet
Leatherman Micra pocketknife - all I need for most things
Ebike with a front platform - helps transport
Acoustic Bike with trunk bag - a trunk bag has a surprisingly large amount of space
Ortlieb panniers - add to the bikes only on an as needed basis
Instant Pot - it does miracles with legumes, meats, and a large variety of other dishes
Instant brand Air fryer - we're working w/o a vent right now so we got this to provide an oven replacement
IKEA wardrobe - configured and used as a pantry
Large (40L) backpack with good suspension - great for all sorts of travel

I have a Crockpot. I don't use it much and I have ever prepared chicken/vegs(onions, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms etc.) in it. I just dump everything cut in small pieces and leave it for 4~5 hours and boom it is prepared. How do you prepare legumes, any tips?

Legumes are kind of like that in the Instant Pot in terms of ease, but much faster. They're usually done in under an hour. IP also has a Saute mode that allows you to develop the flavor and texture of ingredients like aromatics, spices, herbs, and tough vegetables. I don't work much with meat, but I've made al pastor that was absolutely amazing.
