I'm gonna say it. Instant Pots suck. They're too small compared to a crock pot and aren't really fast for a lot of things. Most things that you can cook quickly

I'm gonna say it. Instant Pots suck. They're too small compared to a crock pot and aren't really fast for a lot of things. Most things that you can cook quickly on a stove take forever due to pressurizing and depressurizing. I can cook noodles faster on a stove top. Rice is barely faster than my old rice cooker, and if I'm going to make a stew or something, does 4 hours really matter vs 8 hours? I suppose I could start the stew at noon instead of in the morning... But I'm still not gonna get a stew by coming home and cooking it in the evening at the last minute.
- danielbln 3y ago4 hours in a pressure cooker? What are you putting in your stew, hooves? A nice stew is 7-8 minutes in high pressure with quick release, otherwise you end up with mush, in my experience. I do a lot of seitan, and that's 25 minutes compared to nursing it for hours on a light simmer. And that's the other thing with the pressure cooker, I press a button and walk away and do something else, the pot does it's thing and keeps the food warm at the end. Having something in a pot on a stove requires more involvement.
