thanks, super helpful. i love how you got straight to the point without a lot of blah blah....
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful
Thank you so much for this. We couldn't figure out why our instant pot wasn't slow cooking our pulled pork and the "low" temp was the culprit. Searched the manual for ages but ultimately your video did the trick. YOU ROCK!!!!
You are so welcome!
Good video, but you keep referring to "pressure" There is no "pressure" involved when you slow cook.
Yes, the setting just control the temperature thermostat settings. 👍
Almost was going to point that out to her as well, then saw your comment. It would indicate degree of heat if slow cooking.
You failed to mention that the Pot heats up to temperature for 15 minutes before it starts slow cooking. And more importantly, you must add 15 minutes extra for each hour of cooking time. For example, if Crock Pot cooking time is 3 hours, add 45 minutes.
Thanks! I was looking for this exact advice.
Depends on what model you have of the instant pot. Mine preheats only if it's a pressure cook. Slow cook it just starts.
Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!
Thank you! Thank you. I was having problems with the slow cooker. Now I realized the problem.
Glad I could help!
Very helpful because I am budgeting to purchase a new crock pot and if I can use this in the meantime it will help me so much. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
That was interesting. I'll probably never use that function because I'm retired, however it's nice to know how it works. Even when I had a crock style slow cooker, I hardly ever used it, but it did a nice job on a stew in 7 hours set on medium.
It's not my favorite feature--but a lot of people need to know this :)
I totally agree with you. It's nice to know how it worked, it's not like othe slow cookers for sure. I think it was a great video.
Thanks! I've done pot roast multiple times with mixed tenderness results letting it npr all the way. Since I have time today, I'm going to try it on slow cooker mode.
Hope you enjoy
Thank you. I saw a recipe for “low” temperature. I’m glad that I left it on the normal setting.
Glad it was helpful!
Thx! I couldn't find my instruction booklet so Googled. My dinner is now slow cooking 😋.
Glad I could help!
Changing the temperature and adjusting the time seems pretty easy to me.
*I love the instant pot so much! I have made quinoa, chicken, chili, asparagus **MyBest.Kitchen** and yogurt in it so far. The only thing that didn't work great was the asparagus. I cooked it for 1 minute and it was still overdone. It is a timesaver and uses much less energy than my gas stove.*
Great info and to the point
Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the quick & clear instructions ❤
You are so welcome!
Answered all my questions very nice simple video. Thank you.
You are so welcome!!!
I use instant pot as slow cooker and cook chicken stew. It comes out very delicious. It takes 1 or 2 hours more than slow cooker. That's it.
Thanks for sharing
when slow cooking...what position is the vent...open or closed
Hi Steve@ But no pressure is needed to be reached, so no need to worry about the position of the vent.
I have the Duo plus and it has a sous vide function. And I am planning to use it for slow cooking. So I can set the temperature exactly the way I want it, lets say 79 degrees Celcius, and I can set the time. I checked it this morning and I can set the time to 99 and a half hours. That is about four days. I have never slow cooked before, and I do not have a slow cooker. But I think that this should work with the sous vide function. Do you agree?
That in theory should work really well.
Life saver, thank you!!
Happy to help!
Thank you I’m about to decarb flower for Cana butter
You’re welcome 😊
Mine looks like this, except my Instan Pot does not have an adjust button. I just push the Slow Cook button repeatedly for those options.
Thank you for sharing that!
omg! very useful info !!thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your great video! I thought my instant pot didn’t work.
So happy to help!
Thanks very helpful ❤ Doing a recipe for thanksgiving on slow cook, cabbage and 🥓. Glad I watched
Happy Thanksgiving!
Ummm. Do we lock the lid on just like pressure cooking 🤔?
No need to lock when using the slow cooker mode.
Thank you very much
Clear and useful
👍👍👏🌟
Glad it was helpful!
When I press plus it stays on normal and adds time 🤔
Try the adjust button.
I was listening 3 times and still cant understand how to do slow programm ((( Could you put it in writing underneath please !

Hit your Slow Cooker Function on your Instant Pot and then hit the adjust button to change the setting to "normal" or "high."
If you want to cook a recipe like you would on low in a slow cooker, adjust your slow cooker to "normal" on the slow cooker function and cook for as the recipe calls to cook on low.
If you want to cook a recipe like you would on high in a slow cooker, adjust your slow cooker to "high" on the slow cooker function and cook for as long as the recipe states PLUS an additional 15 minutes for every hour.
@@AMindFullMom Thank you dear for your answer . I haven't got "adjust " button on this model ! But will investigate further. Happy new year !
@@user-uo3tm1dv5i Hmm, try hitting slow cooker again or pressure to adjust temp.
thank you still trying )))
@@AMindFullMom But... how to adjust when I don't have an "adjust" button???? What's the setting for a slow cooked beef chunks?
Your instruction is somewhat wrong. The instruction that you give for "less, normal, more" is a heat adjustment, not a "pressure" adjustment. Slow cooking is not done under pressure.
That is absolutely correct to be very specific.
Is the time minutes or hours?
Hours :)
My InstantPot does NOT have an adjust button! What do I do?
Hi Kelly! Try hitting "pressure" If that isn't an option, let me know the model and I will get you specific instructions
You push the Slow Cook button repeatedly to chose the different options. I just lucked out in figuring that out.
what should i slow cook for steak?
I honestly would not recommend cooking steak in the slow cooker--so much better grilled or pan fried.
@@AMindFullMom I usually reverse sear or sou vide and torch. I want to try something new.
Thanks. Did not know this. Just know food never cooked.
You are very welcome!
Hello, do l still need to release the pressure at the end?
There will be no pressure reached when using your Instant Pot as a slow cooker--so no need to release any pressure.
Thank you 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
So...now I know why my ribs were not falling off the bone.
It is frustrating 😒
When I leave my pork 8 hours, I comento find no water and half meat raw. Has somebody experienced this?
Did you use the low setting? That really isn't heating. I would suggest cooking on normal or high.
It is easy though.....
Someone want to explain why 4 hours later the pot isn’t ever warm? This fucking thing sucks.
I find that the slow cooker function really is quite useless.
You can't make it happen. It's not a slow cooker. It's a joke.
After using my instant pot for 3 months i have realized it is junk i would rather use multiple other appliances than this garbage
