I have a very old (original?) Crockpot. I think it's reaching its end - inside glaze has crazed. I thought maybe Instant Pot but....overkill ?

I use it mainly for beans and pulled pork, and occasional chili and soup.

Instapot does a great job of fast slow cooking, but you could find a crockpot at most goodwill for a few bucks - zeitgeist Oct 15, 12:44 3

Whatever you do, do not give it to a nice young couple with three kids that have the same birthday. -- nm - Inigo Oct 15, 12:44
my slow cooker has a similar crack - I continue to use it for some stuff (no leaks yet). I splurged on the Instapot though - it's really worth it - decline Oct 15, 12:43 1
