Which Method Of Slow Cooking Is Best? (Instant Pot vs. Crock Pot vs. Sous Vide)
For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
It’s cold as balls here in Chicago which can only mean one thing: I’m craving something slow cooked. But when I reached for my …
I use a Dutch oven and a crock pot for a lot of the same things, sometimes pork, but often for a nice chuck roast. I love using the Dutch oven, but in the summer its just too damn hot to have the oven on for hours so I'll use the crock pot then.
I just got done eating a ribeye cooked in my sous vide at work.
You said you pushed the slow cook setting on the insta pot, but you clearly pressure cooked it. I have that Instapot.. it does not pressurize when in the Slow Cook setting. also Insta pots take way longer when using the Slow Cook setting than an actual Crock Pot. You have to have used the Pressure Cook setting…
Two observations I'd like to share:
1. You used the Crockpot on the high setting. That isn't necessarily representative of what the crock pot can do. If you blast food at high heat for that long, it shouldn't be surprising that it turned out dry. But if you had done the same at the low setting, it might have turned out better than what you got. To be fair, you should have tested the crockpot on the low setting. Comparing a Crockpot on high to a sous vide machine that never got hotter than 154˚F is not exactly a fair comparison. The Crockpot's low setting would have a temperature in the approximate range of the sous vide machine.
2. the Sous Vide one didn't have a bunch of broth in the bag. This would seem to me to be the reason why the pork turned out more "porky". The flavors were concentrated, rather than diluted with broth. In the ones where the pork was cooked in broth, the flavor likely went into the broth, leaving you with pork stock that has all the flavor.
It's frightening you cooked in a insta pot not knowing what you're doing? You should have cooked in high pressure about 35 minutes not releasing steam for 10. Total cook time 45 minutes. I've tried all of these methods also and the insta pot blows them all away in flavor, tenderness, convenience etc.
Only Chicagoan’s know El Milagro tortillas is where it’s at.
Fun fact, camels love to eat cactus, with needles and everything. Painful to watch. 😱
I just bought a sous vide so looking forward to testing it out
Had me thinking the I-pot was legit making R2D2 noises for a bit 😅
You shouldn't have quick released the pressure cooker.
i choose the crock pot and dutch oven, you cant make a pot of chili, creamy chicken/noodles, bean soup etc in souse vide, the instapot i found to be intimidating with the settings. ive have my insta for a feeew years used it 3 times, my crock pot ive been using them for over 30 years, not the same one of course, but i know how to make a LOT of tasty food in them.
I'll take more effort vs contaminating my food even more than it is already by putting it in a plastic bag. It's just not safe to heat food in plastic or plastic bags.
I have the instant pot duo crisp + airfryer. It has a sous vide function on it, but i have never used it. Do you think you could do a comparison of your sous vide bath and the instant pot sous vide function?
Cry in your closet. That's great.
Nice technique, Adam! Glad you're enjoying the Joule!
That ain’t what my moms pressure cooker looked like. 🤓
I am the proud owner of 2, yes 2, “crock pots”. 😉
Jesus loves you. John 14:6 6 Jesus said To them, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. God bless you

I'm favoured $130k every 4 weeks! I now have a good house and can afford anything and also support my family
Ha, my crockpot has been sitting in an out-of-the-way, otherwise unused kitchen cabinet, for so long I wouldn't have been able to describe where it was off-hand, but, sheer coincidence, I just happened to open that cabinet today to remind myself if there was anything in it, so, I spot the crockpot, and later on see you testing slow-cooking options. Your description of the crockpot as a cooking utensil of it's time was spot on (though I did use it back in the day). If you cook on low, how much different is that from sous vide?
Sous Vide!!!!! It's how I do some steaks and ribs..But my favorite for pork shoulder will always be on a charcoal smoker
Hmmm idk about this one bud, did they all finish at the same time? Did you dial in all the recipes?
you should do a video strictly on sous vide! techniques, favorite meats, how to determine cooking temp and time! id love to use mine more often, because im not gonna lie, 12 hr days at work a lot of the times im throwing some stuff in the crockpot… thanks for the great work man!
I like the new music —17:50
all of your knives are upside down 🙂
I use my instant pot several times a month (mostly for rice), but we've switched to our nice Dutch oven for a lot of slow cooking. It seems to just taste better.
Personally, I don't use my instant pot or crock pot anymore for 1 reason. No evaporation. Whatever sauce/gravy/jus/juice ends up not evaporating or concentrating, so I'd have to do it after the fact anyway. At this point if I want a pot roast, I chuck it in the oven in a dutch oven with the lid cracked and just leave it in there for 3 hours. Totally understand people still using them, as they're super convenient.
👍
Ok
