It seems there might be a slight confusion in your question. The term "less normal" may not be a standard setting on an Instant Pot. However, if you meant to adjust the cooking time to be shorter than the standard setting, you can follow these steps:

  1. Understand the Instant Pot: The Instant Pot is a multi-functional electric pressure cooker with various preset cooking programs. These programs have default cooking times and pressure settings tailored for specific types of food.

  2. Manual/Pressure Cook Button: To adjust the cooking time manually, use the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" button on your Instant Pot. The name of the button might vary depending on the model. Press this button to manually set the cooking time and pressure level.

  3. Adjusting the Cooking Time: Once you have selected the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" function, you can adjust the cooking time using the "+" and "-" buttons on the control panel. Decrease the time to reduce the cooking duration.

  4. Using Custom or Adjust Buttons: Some Instant Pot models have specific buttons for adjusting the cooking time directly. Look for buttons like "Custom" or "Adjust" on the control panel, which will allow you to set your desired cooking time directly.

  5. Start Cooking: After adjusting the cooking time to your preference, press the "Start" button to begin the cooking process with the new time setting.

Keep in mind that certain recipes might require a minimum amount of cooking time to ensure that the ingredients are properly cooked and tenderized. So, be cautious when reducing cooking times significantly, especially for large cuts of meat or dense ingredients.

If you have a specific Instant Pot model, it's always a good idea to refer to the user manual that came with your appliance. The manual will provide detailed instructions on how to adjust cooking times and use various functions on your specific Instant Pot model.
