Can you use slow cooker sauces in Instant Pot?
I use these all the time in my Instant Pot. I just add about 1/8 cup of water or broth to the bottom then add the sauce packet. Works really, really well.
Is it better to slow cook or pressure cook?
Slow cookers are much better for cooking root vegetables and tough cuts of meat because the long, low-temperature cooking process is great for adding moisture and breaking down fat. It is not recommended that you cook leaner meats in a slow cooker, but they can be prepared no problem in a pressure cooker.

What can you use instead of a slow cooker?
You can use an oven as a slow cooker alternative. The temperature of a slow cooker is about 80 C on low and 90 ºC on high. At such low temperatures an oven will function a lot less well. If you use the oven as an alternative slow cooker, you will have to adjust the preparation a bit for many slow cooker recipes.
Is 2 hours on high the same as 4 on low?
The difference between the two settings isn’t a higher temperature, it’s the time it takes for the slow cooker to reach the simmer point. On high, that’s around three to four hours, and on low, it’s seven to eight, according to Crock-Pot. So imagine if your dinner is cooking away on high all day while you’re at work.
