This was a very good article, thank you.I ended up buying the Instant Pot cast iron slow cooker. I just want to make stews soups and chilis. I can’t find recipes or guides about times etc. Do you have ideas or suggestions please? It seems to quick a bit more quickly than my very old slow cooker. All the recipes I see are for recipes using meat. Thank you.

Kathy you are the best! Thank you. Keep us posted on your latest recs and slow cooking. Do you still post for this on social (instagram)? I saw your bio said mostly air fryer/IP. If not, I’d be interested 🙂

Just found you Kathy (from Vegan Slow Cooker for Two). Impressed so far! Love it. I am so new to the book I haven’t made anything yet but I need to buy my first 1.5 quart crockpot. Do you have a still made suggestion in this size you could add to your Amazon storefront? Thanks!

I don’t have a wonder bag so I couldn’t tell you. I have used the vita clay and like it a lot – especially for rice. Since the cook times are so different with it I haven’t posted any recipe for it specifically.

Any updated reviews on the Vita Clay cooker and the Wonderbag? I’m wondering if Wonderbag will work to keep food hot while you’re at work. Most recipes I’ve seen are to to cook and serve in about 4 hours. Also it seems like you pretty much cook the recipe before hand so I’m not sure if it saves time. I love the eco friendly-ness of it but it doesn’t seem like a ‘set and forget’ sort of product.

Cooks Illustrated suggests making a “collar” of aluminum foil placed inside the back (where most slow cookers have their hotspots) to prevent uneven cooking or even burning. I haven’t yet tried using the collar when I am also using a slow cooker bag.
