I wonder why they didn't recommend the oven? The instant pot might be more energy efficient, but more people have an oven.

Probably because the pressure cooker has a constant temperature for the entire time. Ovens cycle on & off.

I don't know about using the pressure cooker dry though. 😬

I missed that they were using the pressure cook feature. I thought they were just setting the temp and holding it there for a while.  I also assumed they all cycled on and off to maintain a specific temperature. Basically, I have no idea what I’m talking about. I’ve been “baking” my mask by letting it live in a hot car for a week before I use it again. 😲
