What do you do with your Instant Pot you cant do with a crock pot?

[buckeyefarmer]

This thread was started a year ago and had a lot of replies, but it's gone silent for many months. Are you guys still using these Instant Pots as much as when you first got them?

A little less, because I do the IP cooking and I have been busier that a one armed paper hanger at work and don’t get home in time.

We still use ours about once a week.

My wife has got really good at making a venison roast using hers. She can make it in about 1/4 the time it takes me in a crock pot. I won't tell her this, but hers is probably more tender than mine. Right now, I still have her believing the differences must be in the age and sex of the deer, but she might be starting to wise to it and is starting to realize she has me beat.:laughing:

Once or twice a week consistently. Still very much a time and labor saver and also an energy saver.

Well? Did you have for lunch or trying to hold out until dinner? :licking:

You must be kidding...wait until lunch?.

The split peas finished softening about 11 PM when I went to bed.... so I turned it off and got back up around 2 AM when the pot cooled a bit and chowed down on a big bowl full :licking:

I then had it again for breakfast. It was a double batch so I still have some to freeze in pint containers. It was real good. :thumbsup:

And the #1 reason to use the Instant Pot is for uninterrupted sleep.

None of my Instant Pot soups tasted as good as that slow cooker soup. I like both units and use them about equally.

I was just going to say that someone needs to do a side by side test. Can I rest my case?

On soups, broths.... yes. On dried beans, roast chicken.... no.

I love having a large kitchen, I now have space for more kitchen tools. Before this house I did not have space for both.

Dehydrator and air fryer is next.

Most of the better air fryers include a dehydrator function.
