Instant Pot
4.1
(10)
"In the instant pot I can do pulled pork, teriyaki chicken with rice, birria, chili, Bolognese, braised short ribs, baby back ribs and so much more, most in under an hour."
"For many dishes, you can sear and brown meat in the Instant Pot before pressure cooking. It's still going to be stewed/braised, but the browning will make it taste less boiled."
"Instant Pot is your best answer. Also, an air fryer is pretty great, too."
"Instant Pot and sous vide. Depending on the recipe, stuff made in the Instant Pot can be as easy or laborious as you want."
"I use both an Instant Pot and an air fryer to do this. Both of them have strengths and weaknesses. But I mostly do air fryer for proteins now."
"Instant Pot or slow cooker (Instant Pot has that). You can do it starting the day before and have it ready with no much interaction from you."
"Another Instant Potter here"
"Instant pot is good for stewed things. Family sized George Foreman grill is good for items you'd like to sear such as steak."
"I use an Instant Pot to accomplish this."
"You should get an Instant Pot."

Sous Vide
4.8

"A sous vide has been a winner for making perfect meat. It is not a fast way to cook meat, but it is very hand-off and virtually fool proof."
"Sous vide isn’t fast but it makes very tender meat and once it’s in the water bath you don’t have to do anything further."
"Sous vide is amazing, look into it! Pop it in, wait a few hours, ready to go!"
"Or a sous vide"
