A detailed recipe comparison of how using the Fusion Cooker to cook Brussels sprouts recipe can save 44% of your time and 84% of energy compared to roasting them in an oven.

Before I knew about the Fusion Cooker, my go-to brussels sprouts recipe had been this Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Crispy Garlic And Almond. The Brussels sprouts are halved and the cut-side is seared on the stove, then roasted in the oven. The crispy garlic and almond are toasted in a nonstick skillet. It takes 45 minutes to make this dish from start to finish and it’s delicious!

After I started using the Fusion Cooker, I made many of my favorite recipes with it including my go-to Brussels sprouts recipe. The experiment completely changed the way I think about quick and easy recipes because it’s shortened my cooking time by half and the result was even better! Plus, cleanup is so much easier since everything happens in a single non-stick container which makes it a lot faster to wash.

I thought I’d share the difference between making the same brussels sprouts recipe in the oven and in the Fusion Cooker. The comparison is pretty amazing.
