Can I use uncooked sausage instead of pre-cooked sausage?

If you prefer to use uncooked sausage, then you will need to sauté it first in the Instant Pot with about a tablespoon of oil. Cook it for at least 5-7 minutes, or until is is almost cooked through.

What kind of cabbage should I use?

You can use any cabbage you like best. Each kind has slight flavor differences but will cook up perfectly in the pressure cooker. Green cabbage is the most popular for its sweet yet mild flavor.

Can I use the slow cooker instead?

Yes! Just add all the ingredients to the bottom of the pot and cook for 4-6 hours on high, or until the cabbage has softened. You can also use a Dutch oven on the stovetop or in the oven, if you prefer.
