Slow cooker/pressure cooker question

5 replies

16more · 28/09/2020 13:29

I’m going to buy one of the two ... leaning more towards a pressure cooker as lots of them have more functions including slow cooking, but just wondering if there’s such thing as one you can fry stuff in first before slow cooking? I want one so there’s less washing up and so I can get dinner on in the morning, and hate the idea of having to fry the meat in a separate pan first.

I’ve got a pressure king pro, can fry in it first, has loads of different settings (pressure cook, slow cook, rice, steam) and you can program it to come on when you want.
Loads cheaper than the instant pot too.

instant pot...slow cooking, pressure cooking, rice cooker, steamer, yoghurt maker and some can do sous vide if you fancy that!

I got my IP about three years ago, and got rid of the steamer and slowcooker within the week, and haven't looked back since

I’ve got a Pressure King Pro 6ltr (PKP). I love it! It’s a multi-cooker so it’s got a pressure cooker and Slow cooker too. I can fry in it as well to brown meat etc so it’s all kept in one pot. I put the pot in the dishwasher too. I cook all sorts in it, stews, pasta, curry’s, joints of meat. There’s also the Ninja Foodi too that does everything the PKP does and you can use it as an air fryer too.

That’s just what I’m after... thank you. Pressure king pro it is! Instant pot looks good but a bit more than I was hoping to spend

You can get both slow cookers and pressure cookers that you can sauté in first.
I've had both and think my instapot is more versatile.
