Appliance divided.

Or at least that’s how we feel about the slow cooker vs. instant pot.

We adore our slow cooker. We have a favorite relationship. We put whatever said ingredients we want into the slow cooker to make a savory meal and it never barks back. Not once. Oh! A favorite part? There’s only two options to cook: HIGH OR LOW. It’s just so simple!

Now, the instant pot on the other hand is to complicated for us. We will be the first to admit that we don’t need all the gadgets and gizmos when it comes to making dinner. We're a no bullsh$t kind of person.

With the instant pot there’s just to much going on. Between lowering settings, letting the pressure release and basket removal, we're lost. We just want to SET IT and FORGET IT. Is that so wrong? We feel like we get the stink-eye sometimes because we're not besties with our instant pot. Sigh.

No matter what appliance team you side with we will say the food will always be tasty. And let’s be real, we just want to thank God for modern cooking technology. Because these are the sort of things we now have a discussion about.

Okay! So, today’s recipe as you can tell is for the slow cooker. Are you surprised? These Slow Cooker Za’atar Steak Lettuce Wraps happen at least once a week in our household because it’s so damn simple to prepare. Simply place steak into the bottom of the slow cooker, add Za’atar spice (we highly suggest grabbing a bag to have on hand. We get our from Amazon here), and set on low to cook. Once cooked just shred, stuff into some butter lettuce leaves and top tzatziki!

See, simple! Now, don’t you want to play on team slow cooker? Thought so!
