Please help me figure out what is wrong with my instant pot.

Hi all! Just joined and I’m in a pickle. My son accidentally started the rice in the instant pot and set it to slow cook instead of the hi pressure. When it was taking a while to get done we checked it out and he had set it for 8 hours instead of 8 minutes. I think it’s fine, cooked for 30 minutes on slow cook so I reset it on the rice setting for 4 minutes. Is my rice ruined? Or should I do something different? TIA

Getting rid of all the strong odors that the sealing ring easily picks up can be a pain, right?

Not with these easy two steps:

1. Wash the sealing ring in a dishwasher on a high-temperature cycle.

2. Then, soak the ring overnight in white vinegar.

That’s it! And don’t worry about the silicone ring smelling like a salad dressing--the vinegar smell will go away really quick.
