This French stew was traditionally made in a specially shaped covered terra-cotta crock that allowed condensation to build up and prevented any of the braising liquid from evaporating—all of which makes for a velvety, rich stew with super moist meat and very tender vegetables. The slow cooker is a great modern equipment swap that will let you achieve the same results.

Poaching fish is a smart use for your slow cooker. The wine mixture cooks in the slow cooker for 2 hours to get hot and mingled before the fish is added for 15 to 25 minutes. The relish, with its slightly acidic tomatoes, briney capers, and crunchy fennel, is a great complement for the bass. This dish also makes a fantastic topper for salad greens.

Salmon does surprisingly well cooking in the Instant Pot. Here, it& 39;s simple to make and full of flavor. Plus, any leftovers can be chilled and used later in a salad. Avoid using thinner pieces, as the cooking times will be shorter and the fish could overcook by the time the potatoes are done. If that’s all you have, remove the salmon a little early and put the lid back on the instant pot for a few minutes to finish cooking the potatoes.
