It's a pressure cooker right?
Then it's the opposite of a slow cooker by any brand name, like Crock Pot. I guess it depends on how fast or how slow you want your food to cook.
I wonder how an "Insta Pot" differs from a pressure cooker if they both cook food under pressure.
I've had 2 pressure cookers (gifts) and they make good "soft" foods like soups, stews, sauces, meatballs, potatoes for mashing, braised roasts and the like. Also great for hard vegetables that take a long time to cook like rutabaga, turnip, large carrots. I have heard beans also, but never tried them.
The funny thing is; to me, most things cooked in a Crock Pot seem to taste very much the same. Foods cooked under pressure also taste similar to each other! With both, you get that "taste".
I got bored with the pressure cooker and don't really like Crock Pot for anything except pulled pork, but I hear turkey soup comes out great in the crock.
