To slow cook in an Instant Pot, follow these key steps:

1. Select the "Slow Cook" function button on the Instant Pot.
2. Adjust the cooking time using the + and – buttons to set the desired slow cook duration.
3. Use the "Adjust" button to set the temperature level: "Less" (low heat), "Normal" (medium heat), or "More" (high heat).
4. Use the normal lid, but set the valve to "venting" since slow cooking does not build pressure. Alternatively, use a glass lid with a vent hole.
5. For better results, preheat the Instant Pot using the "Sauté" function to bring ingredients to a boil before switching to slow cook mode. This helps it reach the right temperature faster.
6. Do not lift the lid during cooking to maintain heat and moisture; if you must open the lid, add extra cooking time.
7. Adjust cooking time as needed by checking if food is done, since Instant Pot slow cooking can cook slower than a traditional slow cooker.

The Instant Pot slow cooker settings correspond roughly as follows:

• Less = Keep Warm (low heat)
• Normal = Low heat slow cooking
• More = High heat slow cooking

The slow cooker mode simulates slow cooking but may take some experimenting with times and lid venting for best results. These summarized instructions reflect best practices to slow cook effectively with an Instant Pot.
