Instant Pot 'Food Burn' Message Appearing Before Full Pressure – Any Solutions?

[mouffon]

@lachachita thank God for the internet!

 

[tusolussanctus]

Can also mean can't reach pressure. Not enough water or thin liquid in it . Or too fulllike soup and no air space. For the pressure

What recipes are you using?

 

[nasanna]

@exposingdarkness2009 it has done it with a Mexican rice recipe and a noodle beef stroganoff. Anything else is fine!

 

[exposingdarkness2009]

@nasanna Are they "tried and true" IP recipes? Some recipes say they're for an IP but don't work well.

 

[nasanna]

@exposingdarkness2009 honestly not sure, will need to double check that!

Maybe something between the pot and the burner

Scrap the bottom and use more liquid. Else change the pot

Food is sticking to bottom. Either add more water or remove some food.
This happens to me when I cook ribs

I have one that does this every time I make chili and spaghetti. I have one that never does it so I just make sure to use that one when doing those recipes.

Maybe time for a new sealing ring?

 

[aatagirl]

More water & oil to mix the subji …the max level raised then it shows burn …

If the cook is quite thick then preheat before pressure cooking: With lid off put on saute and bring cook to a gentle boil stirring all the time. Turn off saute, put the lid on and start the pressure cooking.

David Barton will have to try this, thank you!

Usually it has to to with the liquid being to thick, the seal not all the way in correctly, or you saute and something is left sticking. But maybe this link will help you figure this one out. https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/the-instant-pot.../

My 3qt IP tends to get burn notice. A little trick I use is that after sauté, I take the pot out and put on a wet cloth and cools it down a little before starting the pressure cook process. I got a set of new sealing rings too. Also, some recipes get burn no matter what. Hope it helps!
