Peel about 30-40 cloves of garlic, making sure to keep the cloves whole as much as possible.
Measure 1 ¼ - 2 cups extra virgin olive oil.
Add all of the garlic cloves and olive oil to the Instant Pot.
Set the Pot to the 'slow cook' function on the lowest setting.
Cover with a regular lid, not the Instant Pot lid.
Slow cook for about 1 hour and 30-40 minutes, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
To a small or medium sized pot, add all of the garlic cloves and the olive oil.
Next, turn the stove on to low heat.
Cook on low for about 1 hour, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Add all of the garlic cloves and olive oil to a small casserole dish or other oven-safe vessel.
Heat the oven to 200ºF.
Cook for about 2 hours, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Once the garlic is soft, remove it from its heat source.
Either add the garlic and the oil to a glass jar and refrigerate or strain out the oil. If you strain the oil, I recommend keeping the oil in a glass container and using it as a cooking oil.
I also recommend blending the cloves (without the oil) in the food processor and keeping the garlic paste so it is easier to use.
