Printable Slow Cooker to Instant Pot Conversion Chart


Kids Activities Blog http://bit.ly/2SgXBVN

Yes! We have a slow cooker to instant pot conversion chart (or instant pot to slow cooker) that you can print below.

Why?

Because all my favorite dinner recipes that were easy to make were slow cooker ones!  And now I can speed up the cooking process with my Instant Pot!

Slow Cooker to Instant Pot Conversion

At its basic, the slow cooker is easier to guess because the answer is always…a really long time.  Instant Pot cooking times are super quick…in many cases so quick that I wouldn’t have guessed it correctly.

For instance, roast beef takes 15 minutes per pound in the Instant Pot and 8-10 hours on low in the slow cooker!

Here is the printable Instant Pot & Slow Cooker Conversion Cheat Sheet:

The time difference between crock pots and instant pots is a ton!  As you can see from the conversion chart, while fish cooking time in the slow cooker is pretty quick (for a slow cooker) at 1-2 hours on low, that same fish fillet is only 5 minutes in an instant pot.

White rice is similar with 1 1/2- 2 hours in the slow cooker and only 5 minutes in the instant pot.

Slow Cooker to Instant Pot Soup

If the soup recipe calls for 8 hours in a slow cooker on low, then it should be fully cooked in an instant pot in less than 30 minutes.  This goes for stews as well.  It is a huge time saver!

Compare Slow Cooker to Instant Pot

The instant pot works well for me because I have a hard time planning ahead!  It enables me to start dinner at 4 pm and still be fine.  The slow cooker can be a problem when you don’t even think about starting it until noon!

I do think the slow cooker does make meat more tender.  So, while I generally will choose speed, when it comes to a roast, I prefer the slow cooker.

How to Slow Cook Chicken in an Instant Pot

There really is no way to slow cook chicken in an instant pot.  The slowest time is a whole chicken which translates to 6 minutes per pound.  That same chicken would take 6-8 hours on low in a slow cooker.

Getting Dinner on the Table

Both the slow cooker and instant pot have helped me get dinner on the table because it makes it much more convenient.  Especially because I am feeding three teenage boys!
