They're not good for everything, but for the right recipes they're phenomenal. They're a great way to cook pulled pork and tougher meats like goat. Pic related: I cooked a goat curry in mine last week.

i miss my slow cooker. still have it but haven't used it since I got an instant pot a few years ago. the instant pot slow cooker setting is not a proper slow cooker but I just pressure cook instead of slow cooking now.

[Anonymous No.15419659]

>>15419627
Then you start your soup with a whole crockpot full of stock pots instead of a little bitch ass cup.

[Anonymous No.15419666]

I don't like them. I'll leave a pot on the stovetop for 8 hours instead. You're missing out on flavor if you aren't browning ingredients all in the same pot.

what's the difference between a slow cooker and a crock pot?

[Anonymous No.15419749]

>>15415266
They’re useless, but you can expect the plebs on this board to be up in arms that I dare criticise their precious meme cooker.

They’re only good if you’re an absolute tastelet with zero cooking ability, who just wants to throw shit into a pot and come back hours later to eat the slop it has produced.

If you actually know how to cook though and care about quality, you’d stick to traditional methods, like cooking on the stovetop or in the oven. The meme cooker simply doesn’t produce enough overall heat to cook food properly, it doesn’t reduce liquid fast enough and it’s incapable of browning or caramlising food, thus no maillard reaction takes place, and you’re left with stringy meat in bland watery soup.

[Anonymous No.15419830]

>>15419768
Maillard reaction only happens in the first few minutes of cooking food in a dutch oven anyway. Then you add the liquid. For a slow cooker you do that part in a frying pan. Then you set it to go and head out for the day. It will tend up to end up a bit mushier, which autistic people may be sensitive to. NTs will enjoy both modes of cooking and appreciate either one in different ways.

This is how you make food into mushy crap. Use a pressure cooker, or.. well, anything else.

Sludge. Eat sludge. You can't control anything for 8 hours properly. It all turns to milk.

The correct term for 8 hour cooked food is sloppa and as long as you put in the right ingredients it can be quite tasty.

>why wouldn't you use them or stews, chillis, dips, etc.
Because they usually come out much better when you cook them on the stovetop or in a dutch oven. Don't get me wrong, they're useful for people who don't have the time or passion to spend on cooking, but if you actually care about making the best tasting meal that you can then you should be using an oven or stove in most cases.

[Anonymous No.15423056]

>>15415266
they are ok to use in the summer. the other 8 months of the year I used a Dutch. Useful for slow braising meats over many hours.

[Anonymous No.15423522]

>>15420242
This right here, and pressure cookers that don't use weights and are more contained also don't dissipate the smell throughout the whole house and stink up the place, more flavor left in the food in literally 35min instead of 8hrs.

>They're a great way to cook pulled pork
This, with the right sauce. Coming home to some pulled pork sandwiches from the crock pot...delicious

Don't bother. Spend some extra money for a pressure cooker. It does everything a slow cooker does and more.
