Which appliance does it better? The trusty traditional Crockpot, or the trendy newcomer, the InstaPot?
For decades, I thought roasts (along with any “low and slow” meats) could be cooked only in the oven or the Crockpot. Then I had a day where I FORGOT to start the roast in a timely manner. In desperation I searched for, and found, a recipe for cooking the beef in the InstaPot. In a fraction of the time a slow cooker would take, I had the meat cooked, shredded and served! I may have to expand my recipe collection to include more dishes like this!
What about you? What small appliances do you turn to regularly to cook family meals?
