Luckily I decided to use the conventional oven for my dressing yesterday, and used the crock pot for warm spiced cider. About halfway through the afternoon as I was filling my cup with cider, my husband mentioned that I needed to heat it in the microwave. The crock pot was barely keeping it warm. Later I tried jiggling the cord and plugging it into different plugs, but it's dead. No big deal. It was a black friday cheapy from 10 or 15 years ago. I got my money out of that $15 purchase.
In looking for a replacement today I was reminded that my instant pot has a slow cooker function. I used it once and thought that it cooked too high (I believe that I made a pot roast), even hotter that my crock pot. The old crock pots cooked low and slow and that has definitely changed to a higher cooking temperature. So is anyone successfully using the instant pot as a slow cooker, or do you still use both appliances? TIA.
