Why? Because I've only ever made two or three things worth eating in a slow cooker, and one of them is hot cider. I like what someone said about planning -- with a slow cooker you have to plan ahead. I don't like to plan ahead for much. And I'm not afraid of a pressure cooker as many are.

Many people have heard stories of disasters with the old-style pressure cookers. The new designs have a number of safety features built in. I have a Fagor, and it's a breeze to use. I wouldn't touch my mother's old Presto(?) with a bargepole...... The Lorna Sass book 'Pressure Perfect', is very useful for timings and technique. |

So its not an "either or" thing... bets to get both then huh? If yes.... will a cheap $10 Rival Crockpot of 2 qt size do me fine? I'm single and live alone. |

The sets I've seen, come with standard pot lids as well as pressure lids.
