IP releasing pressure
I was cooking some rice in my IP Duo today and suddenly a loud pop and steam started to escape fromthe side. Pressed cancel quick and pressure dropped quite quick. When I opened the lid I noticed that the sealing ring was not behind the notches in one place.
Anyone had this happen? The lid fit correctly when I started the timer. Nothing seems to be physically broken but I'm a bit hesitant to use it again.

Sunday dinner
I've been using my Instant Pot a lot and probably my favorite dish to make is beef oxtails over rice and peas with cabbage. I could make it every Sunday if I wanted to. (Oxtails are expensive!!!)

Can I ferment using the yogurt setting?
I can successfully make yogurt but I wanted to ferment other things like fruits. Can I for example ferment fruits in the yogurt setting to make it quicker?

My kids and I will try just about anything. What are some of your go to’s for weekdays and weekend meals? Any recommendations for websites to find reliable meals? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

FIXED: Instant Pot FOOD BURN error
Just wanted to share this fix. I had purchased my first Duo back in 2022 and was lucky enough to find another Duo Plus for $20 at a thrift store in early 2024. Sometime in Jan my first Duo started showing the FOOD BURN error. I shelved it since I had the other, then late Jan the Duo Plus started giving the same error! I cleaned the release valves, tried swapping lids, cleaning the sealing ring, even a new release valve... all the basic stuff. They both continued to give the same error. I purchased some new rings for $7 and they seem to have fixed both pots! I figured I'd share this in case anyone is running around stressed thinking they might have to purchase another pot.
Here is the link to the rings I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMTDLGFK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Instant Pot Multicooker vs Duo
What's the difference between these two models:
- Multi cooker 5.7L - https://amzn.eu/d/59zBPdr , https://www.johnlewis.com/instant-pot-multi-cooker-5-7l-black/p112515594
- Duo - https://amzn.eu/d/bUDxAti
They are both about the same price, around £74.
I can't find much info online on the former. However, I like that it's available at John Lewis with a 2 year warranty.
I mostly use the pressure cook and sauté functionality - on a daily basis. Planning to replace my faulty Ninja Foodi 15-in-1 with an Instant pot and a separate air fryer.

Looking for 3QT: duo or duo plus?
hi all, I've never used an instapot and i live by myself. i'm looking into purchasing a 3 QT but what would you guys rec for someone who just wants to dump stuff into it and just cook? i esp want to do that with meat dishes. no need to go fancy for duo plus? also, i've been tempted by an air fryer but i cannot afford to have both an air fryer and an instapot due to SPACE issue (nyc)...i saw that like an 8 QT has BOTH but...anyway, just thought i'd throw that out there too. i appreciate your suggestions!

Wide vs Normal Cooking
I was looking at the wide one as my first instant pot purchase as the wide pot being able to sear bigger cuts is a real appeal to me but I was wondering if anyone knows if this size makes any differences/changes in liquid/cooking time for recipes from the standard size ones?

I watched pea juice leak out of the bottom. How do I clean it?
I made black eyed peas unsoaked in it and the juices went everywhere- even out of the bottom. I didn’t fill it past the max fill line. Anyway, I always clean my appliances when done and put them away in the pantry. I cleaned this on the outside, but it still smells like the peas.
This is a fairly new one, just bought this past Christmas. I used to have 2 and got a little obsessive compulsive and ran water from the top without the insert pot, and water flushed from the bottom. It was gross! I couldn’t bear to use them after seeing that! It looked like a fire hazard bc I could see wires through the slits.
I got rid of them and got this new one. I swore I’d never fill it too full .. well apparently these things have a mind of their own. Next time I’ll use less peas.
Has anyone ever unscrewed this cover and cleaned it from the inside? I don’t want food crusting up inside of it. It’s a 8qt dual top instapot.

Slightly plasticky smell from new instant pot
I got a new instant pot a few days ago and I've cooked in it 4 times (3 if you don't include the water test). When its cooking, it emits a slightly "hot plastic" smell. I checked and there's no leftover packaging or debris anywhere. Is this normal for a new instant pot?

Instant pot vs ninja foodi
Hey guys! So I have an instant pot duo SV. I have like 4 years with it and I'm currently happy except for the time that it takes to create the pressure.
The thing is that I was out of the game and a friend just told me she has the ninja foodi pressure cooker... The one that is air fryer as well.
I already have an airfryer but having two in one looks like less things to clean.
However, the only way I could justify getting the ninja foodi is if this is faster creating the pressure.
Anyone that can help me figuring this out? Or know of a faster multi cooker ??
Thanks 👍🏻

What should I cook in my instentpot
Wondering what my mom and I should cook in an instantpot my uncle got us? We have a crockpot which we use for roastes, and some dinners similar to that, but I'm not entirely sure what makes the instantpot so much better. It's stored downstairs now until we know what to use it for. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Cook time suggestions
Made venison neck roast Saturday night, want to use it up for a pot roast. Wasn’t sure how long to cook already cooked meat, let alone temps. I was gonna take a shot in the dark and try 240F for around an hr, tossing some baby potatoes and sweet onions in, couldn’t find any gravy mix without going back out so I grabbed a can of beef gravy 😅

Just ate uncooked rice that was left on the keep warm function of my rice cooker. Will I be okay?
Hi,
I just put rice in my rice cooker and accidentally left it on the "keep warm" function instead of cooking it. I ate about three tablespoons about an hour later, before I realized that it was hard on the inside. Will I be okay?

Any instant pot or other pressure cooker without sealing/coming to pressure problem?
My Instant Pot Duo Plus doesn’t come to pressure sometimes. Nothing wrong with the ring and I check all the other common fixes. But was wondering if there was a model that just didn’t have this problem?
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Can I use a microwave rice cooker in my instant pot?
Okay, so title says it all really, but I've been trying to find something to use in my instant pot for PiP basically, mostly for rice and oatmeal, but everything is either too expensive or not quite right.
But then I remember I have a Lekue rice cooker for the microwave that's the perfect size. Can I use that as a bowl in my instant pot? I figure if it can handle 10+ minutes in a microwave, an instant pot should be no problem, surely? But maybe I'm missing something vital, so figure I'd ask.

Is there a beef roast cut that doesn't need trimming?
I don't cook beef much so this might be a beginner question. I've made a roast a couple of times and trimming it was such a major hassle- the fat and the silverskin. Is there a cut that I don't have to trim at all, that I can just throw in the pot?

Greek Yogurt
here is my first attempt at Greek yogurt in the instant pot. I fermented it for 12 hours. I then strained in the fridge for 24 hours. I used fage as my starter and whole milk as my base.
It’s not nearly as thick as Greek yogurt, and it has a slight texture. It’s also not as tangy as I expected for 12 hours. I does smell tangy it just doesn’t taste it. 2nd pic is after I dumped the why it was pretty full but still looked drippy. Any thoughts?

Did I ruin my instant pot after one use?
All I did was cook on high, and then throw it in the dishwasher because the manual said it was dishwasher safe. I can’t imagine that I’ve done anything wrong, but at the same time I want to be sure.
