Stop Using Your Instant Pot Wrong! 12 Common Mistakes, And How To Fix Them

Stop Using Your Instant Pot Wrong! 12 Common Mistakes, And How To Fix Them That burn message appearing mid-dinner usually comes down to one culprit: brown bits left stuck to the bottom after sautéing onions and spices.

There is also a smart fix for leftover rice that goes dry overnight in the fridge: a cup of water in the pot, a trivet, the rice in a steel bowl on top, and one or two minutes on steam brings it back soft and loose.
