I’ve had three instances of the seal somehow not being properly engaged and then burning the food, ruining the meal. I’ve stopped using the Instant Pot at all. Can’t rely on it!
I have found that when it comes to deglazing the instant pot, the only way to really get the bottom of that pot smooth again is to use a metal spoon Wooden Spoons just don't scrape well and yes, I recently tried making a pasta dish in IP using a s thick tomato sauce I made on the stove top. In hindsight, I wish I had thinned it out with half a cup of water by far the most frustrating thing that happens with this appliance.
I've never run into the dreaded Burn (over-temperature) error, and I've used the Saute function at max power on a Duo. It's possible it's underpowered, I've often found that it turns off the heat too often even on the high setting.
I think the cause of most of my Instant Pot mishaps is when the seal isn't airtight (maybe the gasket is wet and that makes an air channel? I'm not sure) so it never gets to pressure and steam escapes from the valve the whole time.
I chop an onion, put it on a minute or two of pressure with some oil, and hope for the Food Burn. The onions don't char, they just brown. Set it and forget it!
I thought the answer was going to be “use a longer spoon” after seeing your fingers that close to the insert.
I have never used an instant pot. Looks like a weird mix with more negatives than positives. I would prefer a pot and pan
ATK, just tell people the truth. Don’t buy that unreliable piece of tin. Danger averted.

Is that a Brit on ATK?

No worries do not own an instant pot.
ATK, why does pressure cooking eggs make the shells slide off every time? 💖🌞🌵😷
Instant pot 👎
Excellent video

Is this something you've noticed?
The other way to avoid the burn is to use pot-in-pot cooking.

My instant pot lid wont lock 😢 or it says its not locked even when I lock it
To properly use your insta-pot, unplug it and throw it away. Then, learn how to cook.
I'd love a lesson on hard boiled eggs in the instapot💖🌞🌵😷
First. The actual first. More first than anyone else claiming to be.
First
