The first step is to clean the base-the heaviest part of the Instant Pot with the stainless steel bathtub. For obvious safety reasons, first unplug the Instant Pot.
Now remove the inner pot from the base and set it aside. Now use a clean, damp (not wet-you don’t want to get it wet) cloth to wipe the inner base area, heating element and its edges. Food scraps can also accumulate in the edge of this depression. A convenient way is to use a pastry brush or even a foam brush to clean this gap.

Instant Pots are equipped with a stainless steel inner pot that can handle multiple cooking methods-even grilled meat and browned meat. However, the disadvantage is that food and charcoal blocks will really stick to it. Rice can be particularly stubborn. There are a few common scenarios here.
Blue stains. Instant Pot, like any stainless steel cookware, will produce blue stains due to minerals in water and food. To remove these stains, just soak the pot in white vinegar for about 5 minutes and then rinse it off. If there is more, soak the sponge in vinegar and use a little elbow grease.
Sticky food. To remove any buildup or food stains, first try to soak the pot with a little detergent and warm water. Dispose of the trash that has been significantly softened, and then it should be easy to wipe off. If this doesn’t work, it’s time to try Bar Keeper’s Friend, it is safe for Instant Pot pots and other stainless steel cookware. Sprinkle a little on the affected area, then use a soft wet sponge to remove dirt. Rinse thoroughly and you are ready.
Oils, aromatic seasonings, fats and liquids often get into the seals and gaskets of the Instant Pot. This is a checklist to keep it clean:
The odor lurking in the Instant Pot silicone ring is difficult to eliminate. Help with the dishwasher, but you may still notice a lingering sweet or salty taste. If so, try this.
Add 2 cups of water or white vinegar to the Instant Pot, plus a roughly chopped lemon zest. Next, run the steam program for 2 minutes. Then, remove the ring and air dry. If this does not work, try soaking the ring in vinegar overnight, which is a natural deodorant. Remember to pass the ring through the dishwasher or wash thoroughly by hand before use.
Some home chefs will not bother to eliminate the odor, but choose to buy additional silicone rings. One ring is used for sweets and the other is used for savoury dishes. In any case, Instant Pot recommends that you replace your ring with a new ring at least every 6 to 12 months.
Don’t forget to clean the shell of the Instant Pot-it also needs love. For general cleaning, please use a very damp sponge; for blue hard water stains, please use a sponge dipped in white vinegar, and then use a wet (water) paper towel.
