Guess we are not eating chicken dumplings tonight. Set it up before work and got home and food was still cold. I love my crock pot and use it a lot for tailgate food. Meatballs and Red Beans and Rice! Using it for tailgates is the number one priority. But I've read an instapot can also slow cook. Thought the vent would be a great place to ask fellow tailgaters. I only want to get one, which one should I get?
