How I Finally Managed to Break the Seal on My Instant Pot – Need Help Separating the Dishes Without Losing the Gravy!

[time1sk]

Let me know what worked please

 

[mjwise]

Never heard of this “method”.

 

[voipaxis66]

@mjwise you are supposed to use a pot that will fit totally inside of the instant pot insert. It helps to cook things that may give a burn notice easily, things that you want in a liquid other than water or broth, or cooking more than 1 food item at a time.

@voipaxis66 She was using a set of pans that are meant to stack together just like she has them.

 

[voipaxis66]

@iamacountnotasaint I was explaining to the other lady what cooking pot in a pot is since she stated she had never heard of that method.

 

[alex92490]

@mjwise super popular and common method to cook two different dishes at the same time.

@mjwiseor like a meatloaf or taco pie, cheesecake, etc.

Scoop the rice into a different container. Set the bottom pan in a sink of hot water. Fill the top pan with ice water.

Update ??

 

[noah313]

Drip oil on the sides

 

[pkrjr]

@noah313 she doesn’t wanna ruin what’s inside so oil isn’t an option but good idea too

 

[noah313]

@pkrjr it's gravy oil in gravy

 

[cankeel]

@noah313 tried this didn’t work will try again with the two different heat method. Fingers crossed

 

[sedonarose]

Empty and freeze them

 

[letstalkbible]

@sedonarose She can't empty the bottom pot. If she freezes them it will ruin the food in the bottom pot, something she didn't want to do.

 

[slothphull]

I saw that WD-40 is the cure all for a lot of stuff. I’m not joking. Worth a try? I’m pretty sure it showed two things stuck together and it supposedly worked. Let me know how it works if you try it

@slothphull might hurt the food. I would spoon the rice into a different bowl then set the bottom part in hot water. Should expand
