- | Instant Pot advantages: | ||
- | |||
- | * much faster cooking times possible | ||
- | * temperature control (heating element runs as needed)for more accurate cooking and reduce power consumption | ||
- | * better insulation will likely reduce power consumption | ||
- | * pressurized modes will result in consistent cooking at high altitude | ||

- | |||
- | Crockpot advantages: | ||
- | |||
- | * much lower cost, particularly if bought used at thrift stores | ||
- | * much lower current demand (150w vs 1000w), which means a crock can run on components that cost 1/6th as much | ||
- | * analog crocks (physical controls, no digital components) | ||
