What Does ‘Burn’ Mean on My Instant Pot?

Check for burned food
Stir the food to see if anything has burnt and stuck to the pot. Smaller burned areas can simply be taken out, but large burned areas require more damage control. If a large amount of food in your Instant Pot is burned, remove whatever isn’t burnt and put it in a clean container. Once the inner pot has cooled down enough, remove it and thoroughly clean it.
Keep inspecting
Check the bottom of your inner pot and the heating element for burnt food or residue, and clean if necessary.
Rehydrate
The rest of the food will need some liquid before you resume cooking. Make sure there’s at least one cup of liquid in your inner pot.
Double-check and restart
Return the inner pot to its base. Tightly close the lid and adjust your steam valve to the correct position. Restart the pressure cooking process.
