I got a little single-serving crock pot on Black Friday, so I’m curious what your favorite things to make in one are.

    One thing I love about owning an automatic pressure cooker is that the days of forgetting to prepare a meal before I leave for work are long gone. No need to slow cook, when you can have the most tender, delicious meat in under an hour. Most meats take 20 minutes. It’s healthier too because the faster cooking retains nutrients. And more flavorful because the pressure helps your sauce/seasonings infuse within the muscle fibers.

    No kitchen should go without.

      I think I’d keep using the slow cooker in that situation, because 100% of slow cooker time is parallelized with work time. Even if the pressure cooker is fast, it can’t compete with zero.

      Though, having the pressure cooker available for when I’m a brainless oaf who didn’t start the slow cooker in the morning sounds like a great fallback option.
