I've used my Instant Pot Mini for years without an issue, then all of a sudden it has started the timer before the float valve has popped up. When this happens I can pull the lid up then push it down, and it will stay up with the pressure. I replaced the sealing ring and float valve seal, and yes both are installed correctly. The steam release handle is on correctly. The lid is completely clean with no food debris. And the pot has always had the correct amount of liquid when using it. I'm stumped and while I can continue to pull the lid up and then push it down to get the float valve to stay up, that defeats the point of setting and forgetting the whole cooking process. I've reached out to Instant Pot but all they suggested was for me to purchase a new unit, so basically they were unhelpful and just wanted me to spend more money.

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with your Instant Pot Mini. Sounds like you've covered all the bases, and I'm assuming that you've done a water test. Unfortunately, I don't have any further suggestions for you, sorry!
@Resist411 күн бұрын
@@PainttheKitchenRed Yes, I have done the water test. I've had this Instant Pot probably 7 or 8 years and it always worked fine, so yeah I'm stumped as to what the issue is. What I don't understand is that the timer starts even though the float valve doesn't pop up, so you'd think there isn't enough pressure and it wouldn't start the countdown. UPDATE: I just ran another water test with one cup of water in the Mini. The float valve popped up as it should and shortly after the timer started. So then I put the old sealing ring back in (yes, I kept it for some reason), ran the water test again and the float valve once again popped up and the timer started. This has me thinking that maybe I have not been using enough water when cooking. Normally it's spaghetti that I make with the Instant Pot and over the years I have been adding more ingredients, like carrots and other vegis, and sometimes Hot dogs with the meatballs. I wonder if maybe I have not been adjusting the water amount to the food. I guess I kept thinking that the marinara sauce compensated, but I hate to add too much water because then the spaghetti is soupy.

@Resist411 күн бұрын
@@PainttheKitchenRed I tried making spaghetti again with more water, even put the old sealing ring back on. This time the float valve popped up on its own and stayed there, as the timer started counting down. So maybe what I needed was more water than I thought. I'll be keeping an eye on it with future cookings.

If the locking pin is not allowing it to seal...how do I fix this "RARE" problem ( that is my problem but there were no hints to fix it)
@PainttheKitchenRed12 күн бұрын
The lid locking pin being stuck causes you to not be able to close the lid. If this happens, you should be able to just push it into place. Are you not able to do that? The only other thing I might suggest is to use a brush to clean the area and apply some oil to the area. If it's still giving you issues, you might need to contact the company.

My sealing ring was nasty i cleaned it and took a toothbrush and cleaned the race around the base of pot make sure it is dry no liquid on the seal i wrapped a paper towel around tooth brush and dried everything. And it worked thanks for the tip . Batch cooking with this machine has been a lifesaver and take care of it it lasts forever I'm glad i didn't need to replace anything check seal ring inside out and keep it clean and dry 😊

Is it safe to leave the pot with the vent valve on seal? Does it have an auto turn off feature if it gets too pressurized?
@PainttheKitchenRedАй бұрын
If you leave it on "seal", once the cooking time is done, the Instant Pot will slowly cool down and depressurize on its own. This is called a "natural release" and it's done for beans, meats, and other foods that benefit from a natural release. Please watch this video for more info on that. . The Instant Pot has lots of safety features that prevent it from being over-pressurized. I hope that helps!

This is not curry this is stew, you are missing coriander, cumin, multiple other necessary spices to call it a curry.

India has a variety of cuisines. In South India, where this dish is from, we have some curries with just turmeric, salt, and green chilies in coconut milk. No cumin or coriander. Any dish with a gravy can be referred to as a curry, but this dish is also called a stew.

Thanks! So you answered my question I was looking for for some time. You didn't really specify but did cover it. I am an amateur mycology fanatic and have been searching how to set high pressure for sterilizing grain for 2.5 hrs. I feel like I have used every button on this thing a hundred times. I want to sterilize so I always set my pressure cooker to sterilize. WRONG! THE CUSTOM pressure cooker allows me to set the custom time for what ever time I want. I have just been baby sitting it and resting it every half hour till I hit my 2.5 hours. Thanks a lot for detailing the functions of this simple machine. If you are a KZbinr and want video hits because I have looked trust me. Title a video " Sterilizing grain for mycology insta pot pro" or "sterilizing grain with the insta pot pro growing mushrooms at home" you will get hits like crazy. Thanks again. Have a great day and Thalys for the great video😊
