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

And the pork chops in the oven were overdone and tough.

I read that the pork chops in the instant pot were really moist and great.
I told my wife and she bought a couple but for some reason they wound up in the freezer???
Im like you... my wife pan frys the pork chops and usually come out dry and crisp. not a big fan of that either. Looking forward to the instant pot ones (someday)

Our Instant Pot has become our new "Go To" for cooking just about everything now. Today, a nice butternut squash soup will be made and tomorrow a nice Beef Pot Roast, straight out of the freezer. Try that with a crock pot!

We do frozen soups directly into the crock pot quit often.

Moss,
This was frozen butternut squash straight from the freezer for a from scratch soup in 7 minutes. Actually, around 20 minutes start to finish. This included cooking the bacon and the time to get up to pressure.

Soup turned out well and will be added to our list of favorites and successes.

It would appear, that most people are afraid of Pressure Cookers and will never even try using one. It took us 2 or 3 years to get up the nerve to try one.

When my buddy returns my Kill a Watt meter, I want to do a cost comparison between our Slow Cooker and the Instant Pot. At between 20-30¢ per KWH, it will be an interesting test.

Yep. From what I've read, the instant pot pulls way more power, but for way less time.

Personally, I like food from a pressure cooker over food from a crock pot. Seems to be more tender.

Look at the labels on your devices, for power requirements. These would be maximum requirements.

Instant Pot DUO60, 6qt is 1000 watts.



Our Crock Pot is 250 watts.

Agreed and it's not mushy either although, I guess you could still overcook. We are only trying tested recipes til we get the hang of it.
