How do I make the Instant Pot slow cook work with the glass Lid?
1788103
The instruction manual says the glass lid can be used during slow cooking. However, this is apparently only true for the newer IP DUO model.

I am considering buying it myself, i got the IP-DUO60. Not sure why everyone thinks its to keep it warm, it might be that their electric pressure cooks do not have that option.I have been able to start the Sauteing and Slow cooking without any lids.In the user DUO60 manual it says under Slow cooking "1. Follow steps in the 'cooking preparation' section of this manual. the steam release can be at either Venting or Sealing positions. An optional glass lid can also be used"In the DUO60 user manual it says under Sauteing"1. Follow steps in the 'cooking preparation' section of this manual. Keep the lid open to avoid pressure from building up inside the cooker. An optional glass lid can also be used" I am considering buying it myself, i got the IP-DUO60.

I used the lid yesterday to slow cook some chili after I pressure cooked it. Note I have the Instant Pot IP-LUX60 other models might not work.

You dont use the glass lid during the cooking, it is more for serving or keeping warn. I take the inner pot with the glass lid to the table

the glass lid is not to be used while cooking with the instant pot. it is just to be used to keep the contents warm while you are serving the food.

Even the pressure lid has to be used during slow cooking. The glass can only be used on keep warm.

Just use it in place of the regular lid. It can be used for any food that does not have to be pressure cooked, so slow cooking is fine. I have a new slow cooker which has a lid similar to this and it also has a small hole in the lid. Both work just fine. An added benefit is the glass lid allows you to view the food and it allows you to remove the lid quickly if you have to add a recipe ingredient towards the end of cooking as some recipes require.

You can only use the glass lid when using it as a slow cooker, not when using as a pressure cooker.

Cheaper to buy a new slow cooker. I bought a lid that didn't fit and it cost me more to return it.

Either the cooker is defective or the lid is not sealing properly. As you are placing the lid on and turning to lock it, press down in the center of the lid lightly to seal it more firmly. Also, make sure the jiggler is not stopped up. I always run water thru mine to make sure it is not clogged, especially if you cook rice, potatoes or starchy foods. After each use of your cooker, wash it well, including the rubber seal, oil the rubber seal with olive or canola oil and place it in the pot, not back into the lid, for storage. Hope this helps.

The lid should be pushed down until it snaps into place. Once in place it will not move.

I bought this pot. I too have a glass top stove. It is larger than the largest eye of the stove. I use it and nothing has happened (so far). It works fine. Go with your "gut" feeling.

You're probably just not pushing the lid down all the way when you start the cooking cycle. If you're pressure cooking, you have to push down on the lid kind of hard to get the seal. I underestimated it myself the first time I tried and so it was also just sitting on warm till I checked it again. Now I know that when the lid is really locked, you hear the pressure build upon the cooker at the beginning.

I'm sorry I can't help. I haven't had to use it yet. I plan to use it with a smaller pan with a lid on it.

I wish I could help, but I trashed mine after about a year of the thing not working except intermittently. Try snapping the lid out and snapping it in again. Also, make sure your disposable lid is firmly in place. Good luck.

All you have to do is set the cover on any 6" to 10 " pot and when the water comes to a boil it doesn't go all over the stove, it stay in the lid. That way you can turn it down to the temperature you want it to cook at. Simple but so far it always works for me. It was delivered in a box from Amazon and in a plastic bag from the seller. Hope this answers your question.

I've not had that problem, but I've heard that response from a lot of people using different slow cookers. I've found that the larger the batch I'm cooking the slower it seems to cook, but that could just be me. If it's a consistent problem then I'd call Cuisinart and ask them. They've always been helpful when I've called.

Dear Al,Thank you for your inquiry.We recommend to warm up some water on the stove then remove the pot from stove and put the lid on so it can create a suction and reshape it's self.Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.Sincerely,Tonia D.

I dont have a glass top stove, and I dont remember reading about that specifically in the manual. Sorry :(

I would think you could plug it into a generic timer and the timer will turn on the slow cooker when you set it to do so.

make sure you didn't turn off the button on the side of the pot. That's the only thing I can think of. Hope it helps.

Mine works perfectly. Be sure the swivel bar inside, is over the basket when you finish loading the pot. I had a little trouble in the beginning.

In my experience with my glass top oven, it get's too hot or cold, if you have a gas range you might be able to control the heat better, and just a little bit of vegetable oil should be enough. If you have a glass top range like mine, go buy a Green Pan or any other ceramic coated pan at a fraction of the cost of the Cuisinart.
