If you have the mini version you would just need to half all of these instructions and ingredients. It is half as large as the “normal” 6qt. so yeah that is the only difference. Cook times would remain the same as far as that goes, some things like Instant Pot frozen Tilapia may not fit though since they are rock hard and don’t bend.
Yes of course you can use your slow cooker during the summer months too, and we do that. However, pressure cooking is a game changer when you forgot to prepare everything in the morning and it’s now 5 o’clock!
If you’re home all day you could choose either kitchen appliance really. I am a food lover and enjoy both methods but slow cooking kinda’ went out the window when I got my Instant Pot! Let’s be real. We are all busy and need some help to avoid mom guilt during the summer months.
- So just throw it all in and let us know which recipe you loved the most. Then go on to try some from our summer recipes roundup next!
- And easy Fall recipes thereafter.
