Care & Cleaning Pressure Multicooker

The inner pot of the cooker (the stainless steel cooking pot), the sealing ring, the lid, and the

steam rack are all dishwasher safe—yet another way in which your cooker makes cooking and

cleanup extremely easy. Here is an overview of how best to care for and clean your Instant Pot.

Cooker Base and Heating Element

The cooker base is home to the microprocessor and the heating element essential to cooking.

Clean the exterior of the cooker base with a damp cloth. You can use a slightly damp cloth to

clean the inside of the cooker. It is however, important that the cooker be kept dry.

If you need to clean the area around the lip of the cooker, use a damp cloth or an old toothbrush

to clean the edges.

The inner pot and the steam rack are made of sturdy, food-grade stainless steel (304 – 18/8) and are entirely dishwasher safe. For the most part, you can keep the inner pot cleaned just as you would clean any stainless steel pot—by hand washing or the dishwasher. Should the inner pot develop harmless water stains, non-abrasive scouring cleanser, made especially for cooking pots, brings back the original shine.

With stainless steel cookware it is not uncommon for a bluish or “rainbow” discoloration to appear on the inside of the pot, and Instant Pot’s inner pot is no exception. Minerals or salt in the food and water are the cause for this discoloration. It may be easily removed by using a nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner, which will not only remove the marks it will help to retain the original brightness. Another option is to cover the bottom with white vinegar.

The lid is top-rack dishwasher safe. It is best to remove the sealing ring and the anti-block shield so that the lid may be thoroughly cleaned. One way to prevent the lid from retaining odors is to place it upside down on the pot until it has completely dried or you are ready to use it.

The sealing ring is made of high-quality, heat-resistant silicone. It can be hand-washed with soapy water or placed in the dishwasher. Allow the ring to dry completely before inserting back into the lid. Ensure the sealing ring is positioned in the lid after every wash, and that it is securely in place before you start cooking. The sealing ring is critical in the functioning of your cooker. Inspect it carefully after it is washed. Any sign of cracking or other damage, replace the sealing ring.
