"According to Coco Morante, the gasket should be replaced every 12 months, or more frequently if you use your pot on a near-daily basis, like we tend to in my house."
"If your Instant Pot isn't sealing up properly, the most likely culprit is the sealing ring, aka the silicone gasket that's seated inside the inner rim of the pot lid."
"Without an efficient seal in place, the appliance can't maintain pressure - which is, literally, the whole point."
"Replacing the gasket on your Instant Pot doesn't require any special skills. It's as easy as ordering a gasket online and replacing the old one with your hands, no tools required."
The Instant Pot, introduced in 2010, is a versatile and energy-efficient kitchen appliance favored by home cooks. Key to its maintenance is the gasket, which should be replaced every 12 months or more frequently with regular use. A faulty gasket can lead to sealing issues, causing the appliance to fail in maintaining pressure and triggering 'burn' notices. Replacing the gasket is a simple process that requires no special skills, making it an affordable way to ensure the Instant Pot continues to function effectively.
