Pretty flawless knock-off if so because it matches the official picture perfectly. More likely just declining quality from stupid greedy fucks.

Tonight I made pizza. All the toppings came from my property. Tomatoes to make a slow simmer sauce. Sliced cherry tomatoes. Basil. Cheese from my goats (first time ever). Spicy oregano. Garlic. Spinach. Made it on the BBQ. It was so good it made me horny.

What you looking for? I literally just made a quick man's red beans and rice the other night to go with a fried chicken experiment. They're both easy though just depends on how much time you want to spend.
Here's a couple. Don't know where my one book is, wife rearranged shit recently. Should get you started. It's basically use your holy Trinity and pope, put whatever seasoning you like, bay leaves, chicken stock, and smoked pork product. Then cook for a while. Throwing hot sauce and some Worcestershire, garnish and serve.
There's nothing wrong with using canned beans, and for the quick red beans I make I use a big can of Blue Runner creamy style red beans. Also add a can of kidney beans and maybe pinto. You're not having a soak the beans overnight then and it's just quick and convenient. Just all depends if you can find it. You can also substitute red beans for white beans if you want, they're basically the same recipe.
From the other night. Think that's all your mise en place. I forgot to snap ar finished photo.

made some last night, worked out great, a bit loud, but whatever. issue was some risotto was sticking to the side of the pan, this could easily be resolved by making less risotto or using a larger pan...my wife asked for risotto again tonight, i said no, impossible wait until tomorrow
why?
my largest sauce pan is 6qt, 10in, and the recipe was using 1cup and 1/2 of rice. i really don't see myself getting an 8qt sauce pan and my stockpot would be too tall for the device

Did you honestly think that was going to work for making risotto? Serious question.
At the back of my mind I was hoping it might be some sort of foolproof method, but that's not risotto. You have to sit monitor, add more liquid, that's why it's risotto. It's a rice dish but it is Way beyond just rice in a sauce with some ingredients.
Why not do this. Why not teach your wife how to actually make it, swing through the kitchen on occasions to make certain it's not getting screwed up, but if she wants it that bad have her stirring the pot. That's what I do with mine. She's gotten good enough at this point where I can turn her loose on certain things and she might occasionally ask me hey what do I need to do now. It is wonderful because essentially I have my own sous chef, I don't have to dick around with simple things.
Train your wife better. Risotto is a wonderful dish and a Chinese knock-off made on TV stirring thing would have people in Italy murdering you if I guess you live close enough to them.
In all seriousness it's supposed to be about enjoying the food that you make. Have you go through the effort of making something like risotto and can execute it well, that's part of the enjoyment.
I still am looking forward to the next weird gadget adventure you embark upon...

Teach your wife to cook. It should be part of her job. You can always cook together, but you won't have to do the mundane aspects of the meal.
After all you probably went out and bought it put it in your kitchen, and decided what meal to make out of it. Use that power, don't rely upon gadgets.
