Many times that's true. But, sometimes, like in today's "Today in History"
post I have to rely on the Bing search engine to find just the right one
then poun d it in to my Meal Muncher.

I gave my "Instant Pot" to my sister-in-law who has much more counter/
cabinet space than I weill ever have unless I move. But, I have an old
(from my mother) Mary Dunbar pressure cooker - so I can "fake it" with
what I have on hand.
And truth ti ttell many/most "Instant Pot" recipes cross over to using
a crockpot/slow cooker quite handily. And I do have a selection of those
from the baby 1 quart to the big counter hog - the "casserole" crocktpot.
The big boy is quite handy for one-pot meals. To wit:
3 lb Well marbled, trimmed beef
- chuck or arm roast
3 lg Idaho potatoes, peeled (2.5
- to 3 lb)
1 lg Onion; peeled
18 oz Bag "baby" carrots
2 oz Env onion soup mix
Salt & pepper
Garlic granules or powder
Assemble the ingredients. Salt and pepper the roast as
it sits n the countertop. Sprinkle some garlic granules
over it if you wish.
Peel the potatoes and slice them on your mandoline or
with a sharp knife into even slices. Line the bottom
of your Casserole Crockpot with the sliced spuds.
Center the roast on the bed of potatoes and spread the
"baby" carrots around the perimeter. Open the envelope
of onion soup mix and sprinkle over the beef.
Set your mandoline to a thin slice setting and slice
the onion, covering the top of the roast.
Place the lid on the crockpot and set the temperature.
High if you are making this for Sunday's noon meal or
low if you are going to work and want supper ready
when you come home.
UDD NOTES: I have added fresh mushrooms (both sliced
and whole) to this quite successfully. I have also used
a medium sized turnip in place of one of the potatoes.
