I would never use a slow cooker for anything but keeping something warm for a short time (2 hours or less).
I LOVE my Instant Pot. Corned beef, pot roast and stew in 2 hours or less!
I agree. Food cooked in a crock pot has that "crockpot food taste." Meh
Instant Pots are great tools.
But I usually braise things in a dutch oven in the oven.
