Ever find yourself torn between using a pressure cooker or a slow cooker? Both have their perks. Pressure cookers can whip up a meal in 30 minutes that would take all day in a slow cooker, while slow cookers bring out deep, rich flavors that pressure cooking just can’t match.

But what if you want to switch between the two? Maybe you have a favorite slow cooker recipe you’d love to make in a fraction of the time, or a pressure cooker dish you’d rather let simmer all day. Good news: you can make the swap with just a few adjustments using our pressure cooking and slow cooker converter!

Steps To Use The Pressure Cooking and Slow Cooker Converter

1. Choose The Right Converter For Your Recipe

If your recipe is for the pressure cooker but you want to use the slow cooker instead, that’s fine. You’d want the “CONVERT PRESSURE COOKING TO SLOW COOKER” converter in that case. The “CONVERT SLOW COOKER TO PRESSURE COOKING” calculator is also available for the opposite scenario.
