Float ValveCOOKING MADE SIMPLE: the only multi-cooker with step-by-step cooking instructions on a large LCD display EASY UPKEEP: protective inner cover keeps the air frying element clean and safe from splashes during pressure cooking To clean the lid, I prefer to use a cloth or sponge with soapy water to clean the metal underside of the lid and rinse immediately in the sink. I never submerse my lid in water and let it soak. (It can make it hard for the water to come out.) Pressure Release Switch This is the interior pot, the one that fits inside the housing.

In my first cookbook, I called this part the Pressure Release Valve. However, after getting a number of questions from readers confused by having both a float valve and a pressure release valve, I’ve started calling this little part on the lid’s exterior a pressure release switchto avoid confusion. This part goes by a slightly different name in each model. Here’s the terminology for some of the most popular brands: Some models of pressure cookers, including the Instant Pot, have a metal shield shield over the opening to the pressure release switch. It prevents food and foam from entering the pressure release switch. This shield is removable, though it can be difficult to get off of a brand new machine. After a few times taking it on and off, it gets easier to remove. However, if it just has some tough to remove stains, use baking soda, vinegar, and a non-abrasive cloth to remove the stains. Whether you bought your Instant Pot years ago, or are new to the pothead world, it’s inevitable that you’ll have to buy replacement parts at some point. The float valve is the small pin, on the lid, that goes up when there’s pressure in the pot, and down when all the pressure has been released.Instant Pot Duo:Pressure Release Handle – turns from Venting (steam icon) to Sealing (triple-S icon) Exact names and cleaning instructions vary by brand; here are the recommendations for the most popular brands:
