    Most of you do know that the non-stick surface material has been changed, right? Much more durable and leaching into the food isn't a concern. Everyone has their biases, and so do I: I don't make yogurt and I like saving money. Without there being a radical difference between the two, I'm going to crock out.

    I have had both. Currently have the crock pot cooker. Love how the saute feature does not burn food. I would buy the Crock Pot cooker again and recommend it. I use it often and love the non stick. Great product!

    To everyone saying non-stick doesn't last, I have to disagree. Like with most things, if you take care of it properly, it will last. Non-stick had come a long way and is much more durable.
    Most importantly, if you wash it right away, with a gentle sponge, the non-stivk is good to go. The problem comes when you use abrasives or dish washers. Both are to aggressive and erode the surface, like taking sand paper to a glass. Two things never belong in a dishwasher. Non-stick materials and silicon.

    Or cook the yogurt a little longer maybe? I'm no chef. I'm just guessing you can cook off the liquid a little more. Save $30

    The non stick pot peals off after awhile, I had one and hated it. The instant pot stainless steel is the best!

  • @b_uppy

    Prefer the stainless interior. Just is less hassle in the long run to have a surface that can use any utensil to clean.

    I think CR misunderstood one of the main features of Instant Pot, stainless steel inner pot. I believe Instant Pot is popular partially because of the inner pot.
    And I’m surprised that CR didn't factor in the concerns of using PTFE-coated (non-stick) cookware. I rather use a sticky pot than having a Teflon flu.

    • @michaelterrazas1325
      @michaelterrazas1325 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      CR's biases are always so subtle. Stainless steel is so much easier in the long run. Not even worrying about the health problems of the teflon, how long will it last? How much will it cost to replace that pot?

      The stainless on the instapot is good for most things and is better for durability in the long term, but it does limit its usefuless when sauteing. Everytime I saute in the instapot, it is a real mess to clean up. That said, the steaming and rice function of the instapot works very well if you have multiple small containers for various foods stacked inside.

      Matthew Marlowe, be sure to heat the pot before adding oil, then deglaze after sauteing. If you still have a problem, Barkeeper's Friend will do the job.

  • @beautyoftasmania945

  • @lizardas

    The steamed vegetables showed a lack of understanding of how the pot works. For instance, I steam FROZEN broccoli for 0 minutes on LOW pressure in the Instant Pot. Times are adjustable. The cook didn't know what he was doing. Also, there are several models of Instant Pot, with different features. There have been many complaints about the Crock Pot Multi-Cooker. The non-stick coating flakes off, and many people get the dreaded E6 error. They also say that Crock Pot's customer service is terrible. Instant Pot's customer service is fantastic. The Instant Pot is often on sale: Walmart, Target, Amazon, Kohl's. It definitely worth the few extra dollars.

    The non stick interior of the pot is nice while it lasts. However, as most have experienced they have a relatively short lifespan and start flaking off thus rendering the pot useless (unless you don't mind flakes in your food). I have an Instant Pot 8qt and a Cosori 6qt. Both have stainless steel pots and I have found them to be extremely durable and easy to clean

  • @pupujohn

    I don't feel like the sautéing was done correctly. The instant pot was designed not to get as hot as a regular stove. Therefor, when sautéing in the instant pot, the pot needs to reach high heat first, "HOT" and then for the food to be thrown in. Once the foot hits the pan, don't touch the food until the bottom delivers a crust or the vegetables begin to char every so slightly.
    I have to agree with many of the other comments. If the Crock Pot had a stainless steel liner, I would say it's a better buy, due to the lower price. However, we all know, that nonstick liners aren't meant to last past two years, generally. Even the best and most costly non sticks, write in their manuals that non stick doesn't last non stick forever. Plus most users don't use non stick correctly. Who actually wipes oil on the whole nonstick pan/pot at the beginning of every use?

  • @DGardn100

    I don't understand why the Crock Pot makes lesser quality yogurt than the Instant Pot when (i assume) they both heat milk to 180 degrees, and maintain a temperature of 110 to 115 degrees during the incubation period.

    You missed the most important difference between the 2. Instant pot has manual mode while crockpot doesn’t. Majority of IP recipes you will find are based on manual mode. Steel vs non stick is a personal preference. We prefer steel.

    • @melikebatgirl8312
      @melikebatgirl8312 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nihar Desai Not so. Though Crock-Pot doesn't have a formal manual button, as indicated in the instructions, you simply select the Beans setting and adjust the time just like you do on Instant Pot (and most all elec cookers). In fact, for most programs the Crock-Pot allows you to adjust temperature in addition to pressure, which Instant Pot does not. Pros and cons to each type of inner pot. Agree stainless best for durability, but for me it was a no-brainer: $30 less for Crock-Pot plus $25 awards coupon from Best Buy (don't carry Instant Pot) and I got a great pressure cooker for around $45.

    • @tarlach1280x960

    Can you please do a testing on the Cosori 6qt pressure cooker? Also when you do these testing do you check for pressure timing and how well the seal/ring works on these pressure cookers? I hope to see a long-term testing from CR I've seen soo many horror stories about these pressure cookers not sealing to exploding. I still on the fence about buying one.

    Stainless pot for cooking white rice wouldn't be good. The rice would stick to the bottom and could burn.

    • @CharleneBallou52

      No it doesn't. The IP makes PERFECT rice every time.

    • @lizardas
      @lizardas 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've never had that happen in the Instant Pot, and I make rice twice a week. Uncle Ben's, jasmine, basmati, black, brown. Never had a problem. Plus, you can use the Pot in Pot method, if you're worried about sticking.

  • @justinthyme48
    @justinthyme48 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The non-stick surface isn't as healthy however. Stainless steel is better if you're concerned with that. Stainless steel won't wear off as well in the long run.

    The Crock-Pot Express is simply a pressure cooker it won't act as a crock pot you can't put food in there for 8 or 10 or 12 hours the air fryer part is garbage after 25 minutes the food is still completely raw I had to go back to using my regular air fryer I'm really sorry I bought this cuz it's useless

  • @JackZeroZ

    You choose brown rice for your rice testing, really? You have to try really hard to cook brown rice wrong. Even if you cook it right, do you have a scale to grade how the brown rice turn out? Brown rice is either eatable or uneatable, and you can't tell how it turn out. It really shows you know nothing about rice. I bet taco bell is your favorite Mexican restaurant. Use premium Japanese rice next time. The texture of the rice should come out sticky, chewy and not too hard nor too soft.
