Love both my pressure cooker and my slow cooker.

Just pressure cooked the chicken bones from yesterday's roast chicken and have enough left over to make a chicken pie for the three of us.

I also make soup in my pressure cooker as it is much quicker than making it in the slow cooker.

Same here luv them both, which one use depends on how quick I want my meal, if know am out for the day then will use the slow cooker but if its an impulse thing, like just fancy that now use the pressure cooker.

I've seen you can get double slow cookers. Does anyone have one?

I had a pressure cooker. It ended up only being used as a very large saucepan.

Pressure Cooker fan here. Although I have both, my slow cooker is still (2 Years later) sealed up in its box, which says a lot for its usage .

Another slow cooker fan here, I wouldn't have a pressure cooker, too many childhood memories of carrots and potatoes that tasted like cabbage or sprouts, and one particularly vivid memory of green tomato chutney being squirted all over the kitchen ceiling.

I love my slow cooker, wouldn't be without it. Had pressure cookers in the past but wouldn't bother anymore

Slow cooker

after my mum's pressure cooker exploded twice in the space of a month or so, with lentil soup in it, which then went all over the kitchen, I was put off them for life. My slow cooker may be slow, but its risk free! I think my cats would leave home if there were any explosions in the kitchen.

Haven't voted at all in this one - I l-u-r-v-e them both.


As another poster said, 'It depends on what I want to cook and, more importantly, how long I have to cook it .


I learned to cook using my grandmother's pressure cooker - in the mid60's, so have always been confident using one.


We also use to take it on camping holidays with us :rotfl:.

I have the morphy Richards split pot one Andrea and I love it, 3 litres each side,I normaly have a main meal,One side and soup in the other, or baked potatoes, just occasionally I use it for 2 separate main meals.
Ps, love my pressure cooker too, but use my SC more.
