Let’s face it: pressure cookers like the Instant Pot do a much better job at cooking proteins (like chicken) than your trusty old Crockpot, in large part because they are able to retain the meat’s moisture better, which generally results in better tasting meals. However, slow cookers are better at one thing – slow cooking…

Let’s face it: Not every company is a Google when it comes to profitability, technology prowess or lunch. Wait, lunch? Yep.

No matter what publication a kitchen product reviewer writes for, one thing they all have in common nowadays is the need to consider is how technology is changing the way people cook.
