I have a slow cooker that has a stovetop function for browning and an automatic warm function when cooking is done, so I love it. I've considered the Instant Pot, but I try to avoid buying kitchen additional appliances. I think the time it takes to pressure up and pressure down might annoy me.
Yes that's definitely a con to the IP with the time it takes to get to pressure, but it can do everything else a slow cooker can so i was able to get rid of a rice cooker and a different slow cooker so it actually saved me space lol
Donna Urso you are absolutely correct! I totally agree...recipe advertising is deceiving...The pressure up and down takes more time than it’s worth.Not mention the messy steam it creates all over 🥴... I also have a $10 microwave rice cooker...that I stash with my Tupperware...cooks 2 cups raw rice in 13 minutes ...I don’t even use my Instant pot for that since that is faster with less mess... yup thinking of ditching the IP altogether
I was thinking of getting a instapot but I have a great slow cooker, it’s larger than an instant pot and it go to warm function after the set time runs down and it has a lot of settings. It has 3 temp settings and can be set for 4,6,8,10 hours. As far as making yogurt, that not for me. For rice I use a microwave rice cooker that takes 14 minutes for perfect rice. I still looking for a reason to get one. Storing space is an issue in my kitchen so I can one have one. Thanks for sharing
I use both and I have a rice cooker as well. Lol. I almost never use the stove anymore. While rice or pasta and veggies are in the rice cooker steaming, I may have had my meat going in the slow cooker ready to come out and a pudding, cheesecake or cake in the instant pot. I like my rice cooker for travel because of the steam basket. I can cook a whole meal in it. Rice, veg, fish, chicken breast. Soups, ribs and roasts in the instant pot. And anything i need done right down to macaroni pie in the slow cooker when i want to enjoy a home cooked meal if I have a long or lazy day planned.
Wow maam! That is krayzie. Rice in the Rice cooker, Meat in the slow cooker/crockpot and dessert in the instaport That saves so much time its ridiculous.
Easiest way to not forget a slow cooker is cooking, turn it on before work, takw it off when you get home. (But im kinda boring so I usually go home after a work day, but i belive thats what they were built for, something that cooks while your at work... Or if its thanks giving, something that cooks while your making the other hundred dishes you saw on pinterest)
love my 6qt instant pot. I do still use my slow cooker from time to time as well. it has sentimental value to me and I will not throw it away until it no longer works. I have used both at the same time.
I am also guilty of keeping my slow cooker - and I've definitely used it at the same time I've used my Instant Pot (at parties and whatnot) - not gonna lie, it's super handy to have both when I need them!
My $12 4cup rice cooker makes better rice and my tiny $10 slow cooker cooks meat more tender. My old school stove pressure cooker is the fastest and last but not least my instant pot makes everything but doesn't taste as good. Jack of all trades, master of none.
niacal4nia I totally agree! Think I’ll be ditching my Instant pot and invest in a stove top pressure cooker. One of my slow cookers does have a timer and shut off as well as a browning feature ... not parting with it for sure! The Instant Pot’s slow cooker feature can’t compare taste-wise for certain.
After I got my pressure cooker I got rid of my rice cooker and my slow cooker. All the test videos that say the instant pot isn't as good as a slow always use the instant pot wrong. You can't use the exact same recipe since there's virtually no evaporation with an instant pot so in order to prevent your dish from being too watery you reduce the water and in order to prevent your veggies from getting mushy you don't add them until the very end, simple as that.
I may go with the Instant Pot. I have been using mine for over a year and we love it. We are eating better with more variety. I am about to use my Instant Pot as a slow cooker for the first time. Probably early next week when I am more comfortable with knowing what I am doing.
Haha, you totally crack me up! You are so awesome! Instant pot, but not instant results and then with the slow cooker. :) The only time I use my slow cooker is to keep food hot for birthday parties. I honestly love my Joule! I love that I can sous vide at home like what I used to do in the industry, before kids.
I find the Instant pot "burns" often and shuts down. This happens when cooking a variety of recipes. It helps a bit to saute on a separate pan first instead of using the saute function on the Instant Pot. The slow cooker function doesn't produce as good of results as my actual slow cooker. I still use my instant pot because my wife is Mexican and it makes easy/quick shredded meat, but still keep the slower cooker around.
I find when the IP gives the burn alert that there just needs to be more liquid in the pot. If you add another quarter cup of water or similar liquid, that should help a lot! You can always reduce the amount of liquid using the saute mode after the pressure cooking is done :) But I do agree - I still have my slow cooker and still use it frequently (shh don't tell the internet)
@@weirdnomad8868 Love the 4 year old response! Yeah, I deglaze and feel around to make sure it's clear. I think it had more to do with the consistency of what I am trying to cook.
I have these ques: 1. How about the electricity consumption? If slow cooker cooks a meal in 8 hours and instant pot in 30 min, slow cooker is going to consume more electricity? 2. Also, is instant pot less durable than slow cookers? I have an instant pot which stopped working exctly after 2 years. I believe slow cookers are more durable since there is less function/buttons/sensors,etc.
Great comparison. I use a slow cooker a lot, but I recently bought an Instant Pot. Is there a conversion chart for going from the slow cooker to the Instant Pot? I make French Dip in the slow cooker, is there a conversion to the Instant Pot? I make Beef Bourguignon in a Dutch oven, is there a conversion to the Instant Pot? Will these recipes taste differently using the Instant Pot?
We need to stop referring to pressure cookers as Instant Pots, and likewise Crock Pot devices as slow cookers. Instant Pot makes slow cookers (Instant Pot Superior), and Crock Pot makes pressure cookers (Crock Pot Express). Also, no two slow cooker is the same, so you can get wildly different results between different devices depending on their programmed temperatures, heating element, and pot structure. As well, the Instant Pot Superior has a sear/saute mode that you can use to brown your meats and vegetables before slow cooking, which will significantly enhance the flavor in favor of slow cooking.
Hey. You're super cute. But that's not why I'm here. I got the instapot duo crisp and I'm intimidated by it. I don't know how to use it. I need to change my diet with the quickness. Can you make some videos on how to use it to cook chunks of meat. Like beef, onions, potatoes, n such. I need the meat as tender as it can get. Soft rice would be cool too. I got dental prosthetics and can't really chew with them yet. Need soft foods. Thanks so much
There really is no contest here. The slow cookers, crackpot is the best way to go. It's a wonderful way of making good food. All you need to do is put all the ingredients and put the lid on and let it cook for the whole day. How much easier can we get then that! I think instant pots are overrated. And frankly, how many more appliances do we actually all need? Most of us have limited space. No, I'm sticking with the crock pot.🤦♂
Literally one of the selling points of the instant pot is having an all-in-one device. Did you watch the video or did you just comment without watching it?
No, miss, it's really not hard at all. I've owned several I-Pots in various sizes; on slow cook function they all have tested out at 205-208F, the ideal temp. Far too many dedicated slow cookers will boil the crap out of your food, even on Lo for some. Stick to the I-Pot and not some cheapie imitation, though.

@@TheStarvingChef Thanks for the suggestion... I'll give it a try next time.
Are you deglazing properly prior to pressurizing?

Slow cooker for me, i find instant pots dangerous due to steam vent if not used properly
I have both, love both of them
Why not both? There are several multicookers with both functions.
I have these ques:
1. How about the electricity consumption? If slow cooker cooks a meal in 8 hours and instant pot in 30 min, slow cooker is going to consume more electricity?
2. Also, is instant pot less durable than slow cookers? I have an instant pot which stopped working exctly after 2 years. I believe slow cookers are more durable since there is less function/buttons/sensors,etc.

Why?

Sorry, couldn't help myself
@@es4666 because the intapot can do it all.
I so love the instant pot ❤️

Are instant pot safe does it cause house fire
No more likely to start a fire than your oven
I want buy but i was scared fire or my self I don’t know how to use bottoms thank you
@@abdimohamud4604 u dumb Somalian lol fix up look sharp
love the fact I don't have that annoying smell from the slow cooker so I use my instapot.
This does not address what I asked which is - pressure cooker versus slow cooker - which has the most nutritional value.
The same.......
awesome
Instant pot 🤩
Which one? What ever my darling wife is using to cook me some vittles to nourish me so I can go out and provide for her. I'm a easy man.
Newer slow cookers: low = rapid boil, high = violent boil, keep warm = slow boil. Damn government meddling. Thanks Obama!
This 100%! I was told that these new IP's can cook at a lower temp than the low setting on Crock Pots? Is that correct?
🖤
Paid add
Nope! 😁
