How do you convert slow cooker time to Instant Pot time?
Generally, if your slow cooker meat, soup, or stew recipe calls for 8 hours on the low setting or about 4 hours on the high setting, it should be fully cooked in about 25 to 30 minutes in the Instant Pot. For chicken or turkey, use the 15-minute poultry button. While volume doesn’t matter, density does.
Can I use Instant Pot instead of slow cooker?
Cooking meat in the slow cooker usually takes 6 to 8 hours, but it will only take about 30 minutes in the Instant Pot. If you include the time it takes to build pressure and release pressure, that means your meat will be cooked in about an hour.
Can I use pressure cooker instead of slow cooker?
Can a pressure cooker be used as a crockpot? Yes, you can use a pressure cooker like a crockpot. However, the food cooks differently than what it does inside of a crockpot. You don’t get as much heat distribution with a pressure cooker because it cooks the food with the steam trapped inside.

Can you overcook in a slow cooker?
It is possible to overcook meat in a slow cooker just like traditional cooking. Tough cuts which have more connective tissue need longer to tenderize than delicate, leaner cuts, but even these cuts will become stringy and dry out eventually.
What can I use if I don’t have a slow cooker?
You can use an oven as a slow cooker alternative. The temperature of a slow cooker is about 80 C on low and 90 ºC on high. At such low temperatures an oven will function a lot less well. If you use the oven as an alternative slow cooker, you will have to adjust the preparation a bit for many slow cooker recipes.
