I miss my slow cooker sometimes but i can't justify the space it takes up while also having an Instant Pot. The modifications for cooking on high sound spot on. Just starting a roast now - I'll report back! Great work!

I've never had a problem slow cooking in my instant pot. That's the only thing I use it for. I couldn't figure out how to get it on high. Mine is different from yours. I played around with it some more and figured it out. Thanks for the vid!

Exactly what I was looking for to make a slow cooked pork shoulder. Thanks!

Many thanks for this useful tip Kristen - as I have never tried the ‘Slow Cook’ function. . I hope that you and your family are having a lovely first Xmas in your new home, and health and happiness for the new year…

Never tried using the instant pot for a slow cooker. Good info to have though.

How about the steam release ? Should it be sealed or vented?

It's kinda funny that with all the things you can make with a pressure cooker your examples were beans and yogurt haha. Appreciate the video!

Very helpful, just what I was looking for

Thanks so much for this video! I just recently started using my IP as a slow cooker and I’ve been winging it, not really sure what “less, normal, and more” meant. I’m glad no one got food poisoning so far, I’ve just been using normal and hoping for the best 😂 now I know that “normal” really is low. Yay!

THANK YOU for confirming my recent dilemma with my IP Mini. I thought it was just me. I’m NO Betty Crocker…but it seems like a slow cooker should be EASY 🤷‍♀️ I even bought the glass top 🙄 I finally decided to buy a 4 quart crockpot…even though it’s more stuff in my minimalist kitchen. I just wanted SIMPLE 😊

What about the little black vent seal thing? Where do I set that? Leave it "open" or seal it, as if I were pressure cooking? Thanks for the vid, BTW...oh, and if I need to seal it, then I assume the unit is built up with pressure which I need to release before lifting lid?

Thank you so much Kristen! I accidentally almost forgot adding extra 15 min for every hour when slow cooking on "high." Do you mind sharing what would happen if I don't add the extra 15 min for every hour? I'm cooking rice with chicken.

I am using my instant pot as a slow cooker for the first time with original lid. I'm just cooking 3 stalks of celery for 2 hours on normal. I just want to see how it does without wasting a lot of food. If it doesn't work I'll get a slow cooker

I just got the Instant Port Duo Crisp with ultimate lid. To slow cook, do I still need to lock/seal the lid? Or just close the lid? Also, why add 15 min. for every hour on high? Thank you! Excited to try the Instant Pot! 😃

Thank you again for all your hard work!

I thought I was doing something wrong. Now I feel vindicated 😂

Please let me know how long do I need to cook 900g pork ribs and also the temperature supposed to use?

I just subscribed to your channel and I hope to learn a lot. I asked for an Instant Pot for Christmas and my mom gave me one. I’m excited to try it but have no clue what I am doing at all. I have read all the instructions and am still somewhat scared of it. Hopefully I will learn how to use it.

Do we still close the lid but leave the valve open on top? I assume so otherwise it would be pressure cooking? Just wanna make sure I don’t mess it up lol

Seal or vent for slow cook? Thanks

Hi, according to the manual, slow cooking on a low temperature is actually the Less setting. Is that correct?

Thanks so much.

Can you leave the instant pot cooking on slow cook while not at home?

Hey Kristen, trick question of the day...my sister's doing their annual chili contest in the dept where she works tomorrow morning. She hoping to use my instant pot to use as a warmer. Would you be familiar with the possibility of that? I would think heating already prepared chili in the IP might be tricky. Is there a way you would go about heating the chili then having it switch down to the warmer for use? I'm not so sure if she set it to 1 or 2 min, so it heats up before switching itself to warmer would be a problem with any kind of burning on the bottom? It's only a partial batch. Also, it's not a super thick type chili, it's more like a "chili soup". Or...do you think using the IP is not a good idea in this instance? :) Thx, hope you see this sooner than later:)

I have my slow cooker for times when it's needed. The IP sucks as a slow cooker.

You are not supposed to seal the pot for slow cooking. You should use a tempered glass lid with vent to allow the moisture escape.

I bought the duo plus and used it the other day for a slow cooker recipe and after a couple hours it was still preheating. I thought something was wrong! What is the point of the little metal stand that sits in the bottom of the insta pot?

👍🏻👍🏻

My instant pot doesnt have an adjust button, how do i change from low to high?

You would think that since the instant pot has a slow cook function that it would work as a slow cooker.

Yeah even putting the heat on more doesn’t work. My ribs have been in 5 house on more & they are still raw. 😭

I’ve yet to do a 15 hour slow cook recipe. I don’t even think beans take that long.

Oh yeah definitely doesn’t slow cook good at all. I’m just looking at the sharp utensil point up over by the stove. 😂

Bad explanation

I fucking hate instant pot
