Redpill me on slow cookers

Are they worth it?

If you're busy, yes. Makes doing chilis and stews much easier. They're very versatile.

It makes it easier because you can leave the house to be a wagie or do errands and not have to worry about your shit getting ruined.

Its not fucking rocket appliances here.

They are space wasters most of the time. They are only good in certain situations. Workplace potlucks, holidays when you have no room on the stove or in the oven, and any recipe that requires heating for more than 2 hours. It allows you to leave the house and not worry about your shit burning. If you get one of these just make sure it has a locking lid so you can transport it easier.

Are you planning to make rice often?
It is actually possible to fuck up the rice with a normal slow cooker.

I just got one the other day, the instant pot duo Nova. Got it on discount at a local store.
I already think it's worth the money, I made shit tons of rice, this one has a pressure cooking function, before I had a shitty 3 cup rice cooker that would take 20+ minutes and burn the everloving fuck outta the rice that touched the interior pot.
First thing I did was make 6 cups of rice in 4 min using the pressure cook. Shit came out perfect.

Let a butter chicken dinner overnight while I slept using the slow cooker mode, just took it out before work and it smelled great, no burning.
I'm in my honeymoon phase with it, but I love it so far.
Worth it for rice alone if you eat enough of it.

Get a slow cooker with a pressure cooking mode if you want to make rice with it at all. With a rice cooker it is difficult to fuck up the rice, but I wouldn't recommend using it for anything else than rice regardless what instruction manual might say.

>>13232900
Yeah they're totally worth it. Make sure you spend extra to get a locking lid though, the other ones don't keep the heat in as well and they're much harder to transport.

I wouldn't make meatballs or chicken tacos any other way.
Pot roast is so easy. You can make tons of different stuff. It's so hard to mess up a crock pot meal, and even overcooked meat is still good as fuck.

You sound like a working class chump. I bet you thought it would be a great "investment", how you would wake up to a warm, healthy breakfast to start off your long day. Maybe, you even had a couple thoughts about all the other nifty little uses you could find for the thing, how it would help you cook healthier meals in general, shed a couple pounds off the old gut, boost your confidence around work and with the ladies. Yeah, maybe that slow cooker would start your life cooking again, wouldn't it? I can see your strained hands holding the box and reading through it carefully at the store. A little bit pricey, but you're the type of guy who thinks everything is more than you can spend, aren't you. And look what happened to you. Look what the slow cooker did to you. Fucked you over, and made you clean it like a useless bitch. You don't even fucking like oatmeal. Piece of shit, you've been repeating those three words your whole life, haven't you. Yeah, how was work after that piece of shit fucked you over? I bet it was on your mind the whole day, you probably didn't say shit to nobody. Can't be telling people about your mistakes. How your little fix yourself plan, failed you. Don't want people to start thinking you're the failure. You're the piece of shit, all along. You don't want that do you? You don't want to be the piece of shit everybody secretly whispers about, do you? Was your father a piece of shit like you? I bet he never had a slow cooker. He had a woman, a house, a damn good job. I bet it's slow cooking you the fuck alive, isn't it. Comparing yourself to him. How one day when all the steam runs our of your life, you'll discover how you're nothing more than burnt shit to be scrapped off and thrown in the trash.

Slow cookers are great if you want to cook something while you're away at work. Won't lie though, you'll get the same mileage out of a dutch oven.

Get an Instant Pot instead. It does slow cooking, as well as being a yogurt maker, pressure cooker, saute pan, breadmaker, egg cooker, blah blah blah

>tfw just seared some short ribs in the Instant Pot, now they're pressure braising in BBQ sauce and in 45 minutes they'll be falling off the bone
