Stovetop · 66

The classic route — soffritto, browned mince, wine reduced, milk and tomato added in stages, simmered uncovered for hours while the fat-in-water emulsion builds and the liquid reduces continuously.

Slow cooker · 19

Browning still happens in a skillet first — a slow cooker has no dry-heat stage — then the browned mince, soffritto, and liquid go in to simmer for hours, sealed.

Pressure cooker · 6 thin evidence

Fast flavor extraction from the soffritto and mince under pressure, useful for a weeknight version.
