Does your slow cooker get too hot?

Unlike classic crockpots, most new slow cookers stay too hot on the low setting. Therefore, the low setting does not allow for low and slow, true slower cooker cooking. But I have a hack for you! First, use a timer that plugs into the outlet, and plug the slow cooker into the timer ($9). Then, set the timer so that every other tick is off. It helps keep the slow cooker lower than the low setting. If you have an older crockpot, no need!

Can I use an Instant Pot instead?

Of course! First, make sure your Instant Pot setting says “sealing” instead of “venting.” Cook for 25-30 minutes.
