Works pretty good if you heavily season and sear all sides before slow cooking.

>>20159174
I cook it in a slow cooker and it works fine.

>>20159200
i do it in a slow cooker and it comes out better than fine

>>20159174
It's super fucking convenient and it comes out great, but slow cooking is better.

>>20159174
>instant pot
>is not instant

it works great. you can make a shit ton of pulled pork or shredded chicken in 30 minutes, rather than in a crock pot for 8 hours.

My only tip is don't try to do the trick of trying to shred the meat fast with an electric mixer. The meat is too soft and gets kind of a mushy texture if you try.

Shred it the old way with a couple forks. Unless you have those meme wolverine claw things.

Why would I ever buy an instapot when I have a crock pot that's a million times better.

>>20159284
>I don't know how to plan ahead
You're like 90% of society and the reason we can't have nice things.

>>20159521
If you want to do it in 30 minutes and you don't care about quality do it on a fucking pot on the stove--don't waste money on an instapot.

>>20159174
I do it in my Dutch oven FOR THAT FOND BABY I'm gonna make some lamb overnight

>>20159174
it's prone to becoming watery, kind of what you can see in picrel
>>20160976
yes
>>20161041
this is the correct way
why are slow cookers a thing when you can just shove a dutch oven in the oven?

yes

>>20159174
I haven't made pulled pork in an instant pot but I'm guessing it works well because I've had great results stewing chuck roasts in them to make Italian Beef. It's a chuck roast, big jar of pepperoncini, and ranch dressing dry seasoning. The beef pulls apart very easily when it's done.

>>20159174
It works perfectly fine, and everyone telling you not too is a retarded contrarian.

it works better in the slow cooker. ive never got it to come out perfectly in the instapot. somethings just not quite there with the texture and the flavor is never quite developed. ive given up on it and just use the crock pot. maybe its user error but i know it comes out perfectly in the crock pot without fail.

>>20159174
One of my coworkers does it for potlucks and it's always pretty good, however any way that's not a smoker for 10+ is and always will be second best.

literally just made pork shoulder in my dutch oven.
gave it a good spice rub, browned the sides, sauteed some onions in the drippings.
popped it in the oven for 4 hours with some beef stock.
shredded the meat, it comes right off the bone.

had a ton of drippings left. I cooked carrots and celery in it along with the bone from the pork.
after the veggies were done I broke open the bone to expose the marrow to the stock.
then turned everything left into brown sauce.

I find myself doing almost everything in my dutch oven. enameled cast iron that I can use on the stove or in it, and its huge/deep gives it high potential.

I have an instant pot but I used it to air fry russet potatoes. The pork shoulder might not even have fit.

sounds delicious

>>20160979
doesnt work like that because pressure cookers cook at real high temperatures tk soften the meaty meat faster

>>20159174
My mom used to make it when I lived with my parents, I think it's pretty good for how little effort goes into it

>>20159174
it works and it is easy, but the taste is far better in a dutch oven. you just can't achieve the browning that makes meat delicious in a slow cooker.

>>20160972
What kind? My Instapot is a crockpot and a pressure cooker. What makes it better? Asking genuinely.

>>20160979
I use my Instapot on the stove to boil lobsters. It is a serious heavy-duty pot.

>>20164307
pressure cookers do not cook at a real high temperature. they cook at the same temperature. they just isolate the environment and keep moisture from escaping, which also allows water to boil faster.

>>20164424
>What makes it better?
I already own a slow cooker and don't have to shell out another $50 for yet another shitty Chinese-made kitchen appliance

Hey there buddy, you gonna make a little white chicken chili in your Instant Pot? You gonna rotisserie a bird there in your Emeril oven? How bout some eggs in that copper pan? Oh yeah I know you don't need the oil but you put some in anyway because it's extra flavor. How's that Ninja blender work? You making some smoothies in there? You doing a little copycat Chuy's jalapeno dip with your Ninja blender? How many pans fit in that thermo-wow toaster oven? Six huh? shit man that's like a whole party in there, get some salmon going with the Brussels sprouts and some brownies for dessert. And cleanup's so easy! How you prepping all this anyway? Got a little slap chop going? Got some samurai blades you never have to sharpen? Did you get the pot that has the strainer built into the lid for only three easy payments of $29.99? Did you call now and get the cutting board for free? Dude sliced a tomato with the cutting board, like threw the tomato in the air and split it right in half with the cutting board, I don't even know how the fuck that works. You got some Magic Bullets with the color coordinating lids? Take that homemade kale juice yoghurt on the go with you huh? I heard you get a free cookbook you been trying that shit out? Been making quiche in there? Been toasting up some pizza margherita on the emerald diamond-coated pan set then finishing it off in the Emeril oven? Having a party with some chicks in your kitchen, just making bagel bites for everyone there huh? Drop some bagel bites then drop some panties that's what I always say. Did you show them the timer on the oven? SET IT AND FORGET IT BA-BAY! You still got that countertop deep fryer right? Air fryer on top oil fryer on bottom? It's practically health food, you can cook two types of fries, then mix them together! Keep em guessing! Holy shit man I don't know how DoorDash stays in business we got $4,925 worth of kitchen appliances right here on our 250 square feet of countertop.

One tool can have many uses, As I said pressure cooker, slow-cooker (crockpot), rice cooker, and a sturdy pot fit for the gas range.
My old slow cooker died last year. Problem?
Not your buddy, chief.
