Old widowed guy who still gardens and feeds himself, mostly. Cans and freezes meals in jars and boiling bags so he can eat decently without a ton of fuss.

YES! Exactly this!

Now that I have this little guy I'm going to be doing a lot more small batch meal in a a jar canning recipes because it makes it so darn easy. I don't have to tend it, and just as you say, I can load it up and leave it. In my case, I'm reading bedtime stories while it's running, and since our house is a one room cabin I can actually put the babies to bed while it's doing it's thing.

Love it!
