Go for the one on sale. Both do the exact same things. As previous commenters noted, presets are redundant. Different names do similar things. I love my crockpot express and it was $30.00 cheaper at the time.

Who was the genius that thought having that sound go off was a good a idea

Love my Crockpot (bought it simply because in Europe it is only option available). But its great! You can brown anything, just use browning/sautéing option. I even bake potatoes and bread in it. Potatoes end up perfectly crispy and nothing sticks to the pot.

Thanks my friend just the info I was looking for. I prefer a stainless steel pot over the Crock Pots non stick and the option for a Ceramic Non Stick Pot is a plus. Instant Pot for me!

Crockpot of course order me one from Kohl’s yesterday on the Black Friday deal and picked up in the store.

I wish you'd do a comparison between the Instant Pot and Magic Chef 6 Qt. All-in-One Multi-Cooker. It does have a stainless steel inner pot and seems to have more similar functions to the Instant Pot.

Thank you for the great review! You answered all of my questions in one well done segment.

Ok 7th but I love are old crock pot with ceramic inner bowl

Crock Pot does have a Manual Mode: As per the directions, "select Beans/Chili, and adjust the pressure and cook times as desired.

Fantastic review. Thank you, your video was really helpful!

I've heard you can buy the steel pot separately if you want to have the choice of either one for the Crock Pot.

I bought the Crockpot one. It's a brand name I trust. My original one had a defect and they replaced it quickly and at no cost. I got 2 more for siblings of mine, no regrets! Money well spent.

I thought the song in the beginning was El Jarabe Tapatío. I even started dancing.

Thank you for the information!

I have one, my family has the other. No difference at all, buy whichever one thats on sale.. they cook the exact same way. Anyone that can tell the difference between meat done in a teflon pan, as opposed to stainless, is a liar. Gordon Ramsay uses teflon in half his franchises, so does Flay.

my thoughts exactly

I have 2 instant pots and one Elite brand electric pressure cooker. I hardly ever use the elite. I find that my instant pot cooks more evenly and is easier to use. The Elite's stainless steel coating is coming off anyway. Thanks for the reviews on those two.

I have crockpot and works just fine. Use wood or silicone utensils!

I have the crock pot. Love it!!

Now I still do not know witch one to buy, for me this is not a very good review.

This review seems slightly contrived. The Instant Pot doesn’t have a “cheesecake” button either and they are a fan favorite dessert. There’s no need to have a button for everything. Some things are simply trial and error while most things have been covered in a recipe online. Rice comes out perfectly every time once you have the right recipe. White / brown and jasmine rice’s each have their own cook times and recipes.

What material is the inner pot from crockpot made from? Is it Teflon? Thanks!

@jamiehershon

I've been trying to figure that out too (I own the CP). I'm hearing conflicting things online and the website and manual doesn't say. I bought it when it was $35 during Labor Day at Best Buy. I have a Total Tech membership so it was a no brainer to buy it as Instant Pot Duo at Walmart (right now) is $50. My CP inner pot is already scratched. I don't think it's Teflon but I do think it has PTFE or something like that...Once I find out I'll let you know.

Is it normal for the crock pot express to release steam as it heats? I feel like it’s releasing steam for a long time makes me think it’s going to pop open

If you read your manual/ directions on the other cooker (Crock Pot) It will tell you to press button Beans/Chili for manual mode. This will allow the widest range of manual settings.

"compared to the crockpot's eight" [shows a close-up which clearly shows 12 different settings]

@cnet I feel like you're misrepresenting Instant pot in this segment, as they have several models other than the Lux, all of which include the beans and Chili feature. (I had to do a lot of model research to pick one) I think a better comparison video would be the original 6 qt Instant Pot vs 6 qt Crock Pot, which is likely what Crock Pot was intending to rival. That said, excellent video highlighting the other differences, thank you!

Got my Crockpot express for $20 bucks. Great deal!

I got that crock pot for $89 4 in a 8 quart and the instant pot 8-quart was running at 169 not a win for an instapot... The only true difference is the stainless steel inside which doesn't Brown any better that's bullshit

This is hard to decide

Yes, Making rice in the IP tends to stick to the bottom of the pot. They do sell a nonstick aluminum insert for $15-$20, however, Aluminum doesn't heat and brown as well as stainless steel, so it is a uni-tasker. Also, No need for a chili button. There are plenty of IP chili recipes to use with manual settings.

@PuppetShows2300

No. Rice does not stick on the IP. I cook rice all the time and have never seen that effect shown on the video. Get your water to rice ratio correct: 1 cup rice to 1 cup water plus 1/2 cup water for cooking loss. So, 1 cup rice to 1.5 cup water. 2 cup rice to 2.5 cup water. White rice 6 minutes, brown 20 minutes.

Good grief. I love product reviews so that I can figure out if I need to upgrade or replace my kitchen items. This review seems to lack accuracy in reporting. I'll assume that the presenter was unaware that the Instant Pot that was used in the comparison was an outdated model. The one I purchased several years ago has a bean/chili button. Also the rice I make turns out just fine, so I'm guessing it's operator error?

Thanks 👍🏻

The setting on Instant Pot for the length of time it cooks rice is probably too long. All you have to do is use manual and set the proper time for the type of rice. I don't have an IP, I have a Cosori, and I never use the preset rice time, it's too long as are most of these EPC's. But using the manual and setting it correctly, you'll get perfect rice.

I don't get the whole Instant Pot thing...I must be doing something wrong, but I certainly don't ever actually get a meal on the table in a half-hour like it claims. I prefer my old crockpot, honestly.

CNET credibility is iffy Upfront Crock-Pot Express says press the chili button goes to manual time

instant pot for sure. and this 6in1 is too old. got my 7in1 last year which also have pressure selection

who cares about the amount of buttons. as long as it does what you want it to. I'm still debating because of the inner pot. stainless steel or non stick? 🤷🏽‍♀️

you can make chili easily in the Instant Pot what are you talking about????? Also... check your ratios for your rice. an Electric pressure cooker traps the moisture so things end up a bit wetter.. knowing that you adjust your times.

I probably will end up getting both! Lol

Me 3! I got the Crock Pot one shown above and my son liked it so I gave it to him and bought myself one with more functions. It lives on my counter because I use it several times per week. Since I got it I haven't used my slow cooker once and my oven maybe 3 times. I love how it can make anything, including baking bread! I got rid a few other appliances because of it. Now if only it could do dishes and fold laundry, it would be perfect!

the IP inner pot is better. It is not a hassle to clean. Further, it is not from a toxic non stick coating... so no poisons in your system. I have never had an issue with stuff sticking. The 1 or 2 times they did.. it was super easy to get it off.

Instant pot for the win lol

The reason why the rice is so sticky, is too much water and not enough oil. USER ERROR.

I love my Anova Sous Vide immersion cooker as well... Best steaks ever! But wait for over an hour to eat a meal after coming home from a long days work? I think not! Unless you want to do a lot of prep work pre cook and freeze. They each have their place! I love my IP Ultra! BTW you need to learn to layer your food in a pressure cooker just like a slow cooker. Since the heating element is on the bottom, need to put the dense root vegetables in first so that you don't have the overcooked spots. You can also use the steamer trivets or a pot in pot idea with no burn spots. Oh and you still need to brown your Sous Vide cooked meat as well for the best taste. These multi mode electric Stainless Steel insert pots can do that for you, not as good as an iron skillet or grill granted, but they do well in a pinch! ;-)
