Many of these recipes can be adapted for the slow cooker, or for pressure cookers, either the traditional pressure cooker or electric ones like the Instant Pot. Keep in mind that pressure cooking is hard on spices. If you cook just the meat or legumes in the pressure cooker, you won't need to increase the amount of spices. But if you cook the entire recipe in something like an Instant Pot, you may find that it tastes a bit bland. Feel free to increase any of the spices to your taste.
