While they might look similar, they're actually quite different. An Instant Pot is a multi-functional appliance that can pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sauté and even make yogurt. It's famous for speeding up cooking times and making life in the kitchen easier. On the other hand, a Crock Pot is a type of slow cooker that maintains a steady, low temperature, making it perfect for stews, roasts and other slow-cooked meals.
