<human>: What are the advantages of using a crockpot vs. a pressure cooker?
<bot>: The main advantage of using a crockpot is that it's much easier to use than a pressure cooker. Crockpots require minimal prep work and can be used on low, medium, or high heat settings depending on what you're cooking. Pressure cookers, on the other hand, need to be preheated before use and then have to be monitored while cooking to ensure that they don't exceed certain temperatures. Additionally, crockpots tend to be more affordable than pressure cookers.
