I purchased the Express Pot because the company is well established. I did not realize there was a difference in the pans until I heard it mentioned in another review. I am sure both Crock and Instant Pot are fine. I have heard people say good things about both of them, so either is probably a good choice. The reviews do seem to favor Crock Pot though.
I chose to go with the Crockpot and LOVE mine! Yes more recipes for Instapot but no reason not to be able to convert them for Crockpot! Tried and true brand!
I'm so glad. I received a Crock-Pot as a gift and I love it but everything on UA-cam refers to an "Insta Pot" even when I type in brand name Crock-Pot pressure cooker. It's so sad because it just tells the generational difference that some people don't understand proper grammar and even though a Crock-Pot is generally referred to as a slow cooker, (because that used to be only brand of slow cookers) people forget that Crock-Pot is actually a brand name and NOT a device/tool.
@@ilovenoodles7483 mine died and I just got an instapot from Target. I hate it! The inside pot is not non-stick and every time you turn it on the keep warm light stays on so idk if it's done or not. I will definately get another Crockpot one in the future!
I've only had my Instant Pot for a month, and I've never had to "monkey" the lid on. I don't know what you guys are doing, but just paying attention to where the back of the lid lines up with the left hand side of the condensation area, and turn right, and you're on in no time!
I would go with the Instant Pot because of the stainless steel insert. I was wondering though, if you can buy the stainless steel insert and use it in the Crock Pot Multi-cooker, it looks as if it would fit?!!!!
Every time I come across a video like this, I am SOOOO happy that I went with the tried and true Crockpot brand! I loved it when I got it, have used it tons and still love it!!
im thinking of buying it, but can it cook fast.. I been seeing video of a whole chicken taking either 4hours or 8hours,,,, can it do it in like 1hour...
the 1 thing that WASN'T mentioned here.... Is, you CAN'T slow cook for hours with the instant pot.. it's NOT made for that! The crock pot unit IS however made to slow cook for hours like it's former units. This is seriously something to consider! You CANNOT leave your instant pot running like a set it and forget it kind of thing where you CAN do that with the crockpot unit. and secondly, it is stupid that that the instant pot doesn't come with a non-stick insert.. why would anyone go with a stainless in such a thing? i mean really...
I personally wouldn't buy a pot with non-stick as standard. The only non-stick cookware that I own are frying pans to cook eggs and fried rice on. Everything else is stainless steel or enameled cast iron. Stainless steel is so much more durable I've been using my stainless steel pot set for 20 plus years now, and have had to replace non stick pans at least every 5 years. I use an SOS Apqd or Vim to scrub the stainless pots if something is hard to get off. Luckily there is options out there for every preference.
@@katielerchen3016 The new nonstick coatings are literally just ceramic, the same thing coffee mugs are made out of. If ceramic is dangerous then we are all fucked anyway.
@@truthinentertainment1028 nonstick isn't always Teflon. Teflon is a specific brand of nonstick and if it IS Teflon they have to put the logo on the box. There is no Teflon logo on the box.
I have the Crock Pot multi cooker, and will be purchasing an Insta Pot multi cooker as soon as possible. I've used the Crock Pot brand version for a solid 2 months, very carefully according to manufacturer directions, including not touching it with any metal, for at least 5 meals each week. There is deterioration of the non stick surface on the bottom, a metallic odor inside, and scratches where the lid meats the pot, which seems like a planned design flaw, since the gasket should be a buffer between lid and pot. I'm very sorry I purchased the Crock-Pot brand multi cooker.
If the Crockpot had a ceramic inside like the original ones I would've been sold. I guess I will be purchasing the insta pot after all. (I have the Wolfgang Puck pressure cooker, a crock pot/slow cooker already) now I'll add this to my cooking arsenal.
I have both and they are very close honestly, the only edge the cp has is, its amazing as a slow cooker and my ip, not so much. The non stick pot in the cp also gives it an edge but only use plastic utensils or the pot will get scratches and ruin
Man, you are inviting some serious hate! I went with the Crock Pot Express primarily because it was still $20 cheaper at Walmart and I'm not sold on how much I will use it. I tend to agree with much of what you said, the Crock Pot has the non-stick out of the box, and if you treat it right, it will last you the life of the machine. Just ask my 5 year old rice cooker still rocking it's original non-stick pot with nary a scratch! And the controls are intuitive and easy to adjust. Overall, being able to cook a turkey breast from frozen in 1.5 hours (total prep and all) is simply amazing!
I love my CrockPot multi-cooker; same as in the video). I am a man, originally from and from Wisconsin and later Minnesota, living in the south, but I still make winter warmup foods. Winter drys out the air so I don’t mind adding back humidity in the winter. Also there something comforting about having the kitchen filled with the smell of bone broth chicken, pot roast, etc when it’s freezing outside. I tried my son’s Instant Pot and burned a shrimp dish I was making. I likely misunderstood the controls, but that’s kinda a problem with the unit right (?), like I said I’m a guy, and we don’t need no stinking directions. 😎
I have the Instantpot and this cooker works fantastic. The stainless steel inner does not stick as you will have to put water in to cook food at high pressure which prevents any gumming anyway. This thing works like a diesel engine and its also silent.
I'm a big Baker so I see that the instant pot has a cake function which is nice, but the crock pot has a dessert button. Would that dessert button also work for cakes, or is that something else altogether? I found both of these on sale and I'm contemplating which one to get.
Yep, the Crock Pot is great, and I just bought that trending InstantPot, but I gotta say, since I've just upgraded from a Crock-Pot Express 6 qt. to an instant pot 8 qt. Duo, I would say the instantpot is much better just for me.
My husband and I both have trouble with the crockpot lid. The instructions for a meal I cooked was very misleading, leading me to give it to the dogs. I'll chalk that up as a learning process.
Perfect example for why social media doesn’t work and the bandwagon mentality will cause you headaches. The instant pot that everyone is talking about is overrated. I returned it and got the power quick pot and is way easier to use and more intuitive.
actually the crockpot has the 1 feature the instant pot doesn't have.. and that is a true "set it and forget" slow cook as their previous versions.. you can't do that with an instant pot nor should you try...
A few alert folks noted that the narrator mistakenly said “instant pot” when he meant to say “crockpot.” The version of the crock pot tested had a little more functionality than the tested version of the instant pot (high pressure, low pressure, high heat, low heat).
I have the crock pot express I love it so much but it’s impossible to find accessories and they still do not offer a stainless steel pot. I think I’m going to replace it with an instant pot soon.
I am curious about storage.I don't have a big kitchen,or much storage in my cabinets .Neither do I have much counter space.Ate the newer Crock Pots small enough to store alone on the counter,or will I need to store it in my basement?
My last question is . Are these small enough on the counter alone,or will I need to put it someplace else,until I need it? newer Crock Pots small enough to store
I just move mine over to a microwave counter next to my stand mixer. When I want to use it, I pick it up and put it on my main counter area. I haven't had an issue and I have a small kitchen in a one bedroom apartment.

@@Reviewedcom Please watch an award winning documentary called "Bag It" there is scientific proof that heating plastic is extemly toxic.

These extra hormones give women endometriosis, it gives grown men boobs and shrunk penis's. Thus documentary is on Netflix.
