I wish I knew this before I tried Slow Cooking in the Instant Pot

In this video I’m sharing 6 tips for slow cooking in the Instant Pot. I’m using the Pro 6Q (5.7L) so your mileage might vary with other models. I demo the tips by cooking up a delicious harissa slow cooked chicken tagine as part of the video and I’ve put the ingredients below for you. I’m not an experienced slow cooker so it’s taken me a while to get the hang of it as the Instant Pot doesn’t work if you use standard slow cooking recipes. These tips will help you along if you are a keen slow cooker but I think I’d hang on to my slow cooker until you’ve done some testing of your model, as it’s not the easiest process. I hope these tips help. Let me know if I’m missing something. I’m sure I am 🙂

🥘 Instant Pot Slow Cooked Chicken Tagine Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
