Crock-Pot 8-Quart Express Crock XL vs Instant Pot Pro 6-Quart

We have had our unit for a couple of months and it is very nice, but I am concerned that I cannot find a replacement sealing ring. I cannot recommend this product to a friend until there is more support from Crock Pot.

It's where it's got this nice thick area where it holds the heat in. This right here is the heating plate. This little thing is like a sensor that sen...

The size of the crock pot is so big that it didn't fit in my kitchen. I found that I was unable to use the Crock-Pot because of this fact. I'm happy to say that I did give the Crock-Pot to my daughter who has children and can cook great big meals for her family. She absolutely loves it

Lots of issues with lids locking, not pressurizing etc and I really don't see this for the Instant Pot family of PCs. **Sizing - I measured my crock pot which was 6 quart, so that's what I ordered. It's an OK size for 2 people, but since you can only fill it 2/3 full when cooking under pressure you should take that into consideration. I figure on a roast, I will do the meat first, then veggies

I can cook everything in one pot. A multi functional pot. I use it every day and its holding up very well. Made many meals in it and very happy

I have used an Instant Pot for at least 5 years and will continue to do so. I love this product.

So we made our traditional things we would make like stews and then we pushed it! Normally I like a pot roast to go all day (6-8 hours). So we decided to try it with pressure cooker to see if we could speed it up. We did it in 2 hours and it tasted like all day cooking! Hooray!. We haven't done the frying yet but it's next on our list to try

- 25 minutes cooking + 2 minutes decompressing (and filling the house with delicious porky aroma) - Five minutes painting on some sauce and letting everything sizzle on the grill. Seriously. Delicious, perfectly cooked barbecue ribs—enough to feed at least eight people—ready in about an hour. So yeah

The fact that the inner pot is made of metal, instead of ceramic is a huge plus. It is lighter and the pot doesn’t chip like my older ones. Cleaning is simpler and I believe this will last a lot longer than previous devices similar to this. I highly recommend this! There are so many uses for it and it can really cook almost anything

Since I just received this, I can only rate it right now on what I have noticed about the appliance and packaging. There was a long cut in the box on one side and a gash on the top of the box. After taking the Instant Pot out of the packaging, the inner pot looks fine, but a sticker on the top of the lid had some type of hair/fibers caught in it. The metal part of the top also has fine abrasion on it
