Herb-Infused Oil
Place your herbs and oil of choice in jars, and then place the jars on a trivet in your Instant Pot. Secure the lid, and turn on the yogurt setting. Allow the oils to infuse for one to three days depending on the desired strength, then strain the herbs and use the oils as desired.

Keeping this in view, how do you infuse oil fast?
Heating the herbs/spices in oil is a quicker way of making infused oil and is great for dried herbs and spices since the heat helps brings out the flavour. Place the jar on hot plate and simmer for several hours (about 3hrs – warning: your kitchen will smell wonderful!)
How long do you need to infuse oil for?
Gently heat the herbs over very low heat (preferably between 100° and 140° F for 1 to 5 hours, until the oil takes on the color and scent of the herb. Some texts recommend heating the oil 48 to 72 hours at a controlled temperature of 100° F. Turn off heat and allow to cool. Once oil is cooled, strain using cheesecloth.
How long does herb-infused oil last?
Once satisfied with the taste, remove the herbs using a strainer. Store in a sealed glass container. Hot infused oil can be stored in the cupboard or in the refrigerator. It should last one month, but if the flavor of the oil changes, throw it away just to be safe.
What is the difference between essential oil and infused oil?
Essential oils are highly concentrated, while infused oils are much more mild. Essential oils are so powerful that they should almost never be applied directly to the skin, but rather diluted in a carrier oil. Infused oils, on the other hand, are gentle enough to be used on bare skin.
