Crock-Pots Vs. Pressure Cookers
Slow cookers and pressure cookers are two separate types of cooking devices that cook foods at different speeds and at different temperatures. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Slow Cooker
-
A slow cooker cooks food slowly, usually at low temperatures between 170 and 280 degrees Fahrenheit. Slow cooking helps meat become tender and allows you to leave the food cooking all day. You can go to work and return eight hours later to a finished meal.
Pressure Cooker
-
A pressure cooker speeds up cooking time by trapping the steam that is released by boiling water. Pressure cookers help you conserve money because food cooks faster and you won't have to leave the stove on as long.

Considerations
-
Pressure cookers are needed for canning vegetables and they allow you to cook foods such as dried beans quickly. Slow cookers take longer to cook but you save on preparation time. Slow cooking allows meals to have more flavor.
