I like my instant pot better. 30 minutes to an hour later....meal done. But I do like my crock pot for certain things!

Insta Pot you can use as either a crock pot or a pressure cooker. @Stereoguy

@Stereoguy Had it for a couple years. Use it all the time. You can search YouTube for directions of whatever you want to make. I think it would be great in the your RV.

@Stereoguy
Do you use your own recipes or do you follow a cookbook?

I use both.

The yogurt feature really surprised me how well it works.

@Stereoguy Yes. I've been making yogurt for years.

Do you make flavors?

I do not.

I usually add flavors when I'm ready to eat it.

@Atlotto I haven't tried that feature yet. Any tips? Best recipe?

@LadyBronte
Any tips

I just use a starter culture and go by the package directions. Don't never flavor yogurt until after it's incubated.

@Atlotto Thank you. I am only interested in plain and vanilla. :) I will look for a culture starter.

@Stereoguy It could interfere with the fermentation process.

@LadyBronte Look for heirloom yogurt starter.

@LadyBronte The Instapot is great! I like how you can brown or stir-fry then use as pressure cooker. We still use the traditional crock pot for things, though.

@Bartleby I still use the crock pot once in a while but not often anymore.
