Tips for Prep

You can use an Instant Pot as a slow cooker. Just check out this link to learn the best practice for using it as one.

Keep in mind that – while some of these dishes are one-pot meals – many of them will ask that you sauté onions (et al.) beforehand. Other dishes may need you to cook rice separately. I also recommend having a rice cooker and just planning ahead that you may not be able to throw everything in the slow cooker at once. Rice may need to be cooked separately.

Finally, a slow cooker is a pretty forgiving cooking medium (vs. baking, for example). When it comes to slow-cooking, you can often make changes to recipes for any reason – to reduce the number of ingredients, or to swap out ingredients for ones that work better for you (or your macros). Feel free to make edits!
