pressure cooker or slow cooker?

Question

...if you could only have one or the other, which would you choose?

Answer 1

you need both
a slow cooker is only good if you have all day to cook
a pressure cooker will cook in a hurry.
Their is a drawback to pressure cooking. You need to read the directions and follow them. When it says cook for 30 minutes then cool down it does not mean stick the pan in ice water. The best thing to do is crank that pressure cooker up full blast.lower the heat and let it cook for a good 30 Min's. then leave it alone all day. that's right let it sit. when you get home from shopping or work I don't care if you are cooking rhino spleens it is going to be tender.Another thing is don't allow your brain dead children get near that pot if they are the least bit hungry and when ain't they? If you have ever received 2nd degree burns from removing a lid off of a pot, you might be a Cajun. pressure cookers are made of thick stainless steel mine is anyways. you can brown the meat in that pressure cooker. a slow cooker ain't gonna brown nothing. once that meat been brown add no more water than half way up, any more than that is like a Chernobyl disaster. you don't want to go there. another thing is when it get up to temp you can turn the fire way down to the lowest setting and that thing will still be going full blast. cut your cooking time in half using less fuel with a pressure cooker, better flavor too.

Answer 2

I would go with the pressure cooker, because I don't always have the time of the foresight to plan something for the slow cooker. I have found that a pressure cooker is really the best at steaming veggies in about 5 minutes.

Answer 3

depending on the type of food as well as your time constraints because if you wante to prepare youself a one pot meal that hot and ready by the time you get home from work slow cooker but if you have to parboil or quickly get some meat going use a pressure cooker but the catch is a slow cooker marinates the seasonings and flavours into the food that is being cooked where as with a pressure cooker flovours are quickly lost and have to touched up during cooking

Answer 4

Answer 5

Pressure cooker. It's gotten dinner on the table in a jiffy more times than I can count.

Answer 6

Slow Cooker. You can set one of these babies to start up when you leave for work and when you get home your dinner is ready.

Answer 7

Pressure Cooker... I can use that on a stove if I don't have power to the Motor Home.

Answer 8

nicely, a tension cooker is greater risky. My mom used to make pinto beans in it and my little brother replaced into leaping around the kitchen and it exploded interior the kitchen and my lil bro replaced into burned ( no longer severly yet he has some scars on his hands) Plus it made a very undesirable mess. slow cookers of course prepare dinner slow yet they're risk-free fairly if there are infants interior the abode!!!

Answer 9

Slow cooker so I don't have to replace my roof on a weekly basis...LOL
