Use 「じっくり」 for doing something slowly, carefully and without haste, as in 「じっくり考える」 or 「じっくり煮込む」. For caution against mistakes say 「慎重に」, and for examining something in exhaustive detail say 「つぶさに」. The written 「篤と」, 「具に」 and 「心して」 are more literary options, and 「とっくり」 is a dated near-equivalent. The opposites are 「急いで」 (hurriedly) and 「さっと」 (in a flash).
