 +=== crockpot vs instant pot ===
 +
 +There are some major ways the two differ:
 +
 +  * cost - used crockpots are cheap in thrift stores
 +  * current - crockpots demand much less current, which may also increase the cost of wiring, batteries, and [[electrical:inverter|inverter]], but...
 +  * energy use - instant pots will generally use far fewer watt-hours to took the same meal((due to better insulation, temperature control, and pressure cooking))
