I am paying close attention to this thread. I don't own a pressure cooker or a slow cooker or an IP,

 

Pressure cooking and slow cooking are not interchangeable. They are for different recipes. Just like deep frying is not the same as steaming.

 

One thing I always find surprising is the number of comments from users who tout the fact that they can't smell what's cooking in any of these machines. I like the smell of the foods I cook permeating the kitchen and beyond.

 

The aroma that fills the whole house is the aroma no longer in your food.

The single advantage of a crock pot is its  cheap. But the low temp on them tends to be too high...over 200 perhaps by a lot. And that is neither low nor slow.  

 

I think you know what a router speed controller (PWM voltage controller) is. (You are the one who knew what a gear puller is, if I remember correctly ). Plug an electric pot/cooker into a router speed controller ($20.00) and you can control temperature from 0 watts to full watts.
