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

Cowboy beans were great. I softened up 4 kinds of beans in the Instant Pot in less than an hour. Added them to the slow cooker along with hamburger, ham, bacon, hambone, onion and flavorings. As to the topic of the thread, softening dried beans tops the list. Reduces the lectins in the beans at the same time. This pic was going into the slow cooker. About 4 to 5 hours later it reduced down to perfect.

Wife wanted me do do roast in IP. When she read recipe, I said use crock pot. I didn’t have time to sear 4 sides, etc.
Turned out good.

Looks real good! :licking:
We usually buy veggies when in season and vacuum seal and freeze. Green cabbage is a favorite for Corned Beef & Cabbage so we freeze about 10 heads a year. Normally, we would cut in half, core and then quarter, vacuum seal and freeze.
The last time we just cut the head in half, sealed and froze. Anyhoo, just cooked a very nice Corned beef in the Instant Pot, removed it when done and then threw in 2 halves of cabbage brought the pressure back up for 5 minutes and it turned out perfectly and the core was soft and sweet and very tender. Never would have softened enough to eat in the crock pot.

That stew does look GOOD!
I have dried beans cooking up right now for chili tonight. Sure is nice to be able to make a meal out of dried beans in a few hours and not have to soak and slow cook them for 2 days. I do my dried beans in the Instant Pot for 50 minutes and I put them beef stock rather than water. Then lately they go in the big pot on the stove with the hamburger, onions, celery, peppers, etc.

We put a small pork loin in the instant pot last night. I seared it in olive oil and garlic first, then put it on the rack with 1/4 cup of bottled teriyaki sauce and 1 cup of water under pressure for 20 minutes with a natural cool down. Served it with steamed vegetables, rice, and my wife made some kind of teriyaki sauce with brown sugar, honey, ginger and some other stuff. It was very good. :licking:
