Leftover pieces of food that remain on the Instant Pot\u2019s surface will be harder and harder to remove if they aren\u2019t taken off the first time around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Delicious chicken paella pressure cooked inside the Instant Pot chamber\" data-id=\"7880\" width=\"496\" data-init-width=\"500\" height=\"662\" data-init-height=\"667\" title=\"Delicious-chicken-paella-pressure-cooked-inside-the-Instant-Pot-chamber\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/betterfood.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Delicious-chicken-paella-pressure-cooked-inside-the-Instant-Pot-chamber.jpg\" data-width=\"496\" data-height=\"662\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Delicious chicken paella pressure cooked inside the Instant Pot chamber<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some people are naturally neat and tidy, but sadly I am not. Whenever I use my Instant Pot, there is usually a lot of mess to clean up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I love cooking Spanish paella in my Instant Pot and sometimes the food sticks to the bottom of the pot. This is especially hard to clean by hand, so I usually opt to soak and dishwash the appliance every time I cook&nbsp; this recipe.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For the full how-to about dishwashing your Instant Pot, ensure you have the correct materials and follow our process below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Materials Needed to Dishwash Your Instant Pot&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When it comes to being prepared, having the right materials will guarantee success. You don\u2019t need much to clean your Instant Pot, but these materials are always handy:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p ltr\"\"=\"\">\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Dishwasher<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Dishwasher tablets that fit your model<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Warm water and soap to soak the stainless steel chamber<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And that\u2019s pretty much it! If you\u2019re washing by hand, the only additional material you will need is a soft sponge. Never scrub your appliances with coarse or rough sponges as this may do more damage than good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Step 1: Separate the Cooking Chamber and the Cooker Base<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You\u2019re in luck here because the heaviest part of the Instant Pot is actually the part that you won\u2019t be placing inside the dishwasher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If your Instant Pot is closed, simply follow the opening instructions on the lid to take the lid off. Then take out the stainless steel cooking chamber.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Cleaning tip:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><\/em>Before cleaning your Instant Pot, always turn off your Instant Pot and unplug it. This should be done before anything else.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"background-color: var(--base-3); color: var(--contrast);\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Step 2: Take Out All of the Small Instant Pot Parts&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Once you have taken off the lid, remove the small anti block shield and the steaming rack if it is inside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Have used the condensation cup or the rice paddle?&nbsp; Get those out too because they are dishwasher safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Keep all the accessories together or closely. They are small, so be careful not to misplace them!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Step 3: Gently Take Out the Sealing Ring<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The sealing ring is a vital part of your Instant Pot. Unfortunately, the ring is made from silicone, and is bound to collect and absorb some food smells.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It often goes overlooked because it isn\u2019t very visible. Don\u2019t make the mistake of ignoring it and clean the sealing ring after every four pressure cooks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Step 4: Soak the Instant Pot If Needed&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you pressure cook, sometimes food can stick to the Instant Pot. If you\u2019ve ever received a pesky \u201cfood burn\u201d message on the IP while cooking, you know know why!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Letting the inner chamber soak for a few minutes before popping it into the dishwasher will do half of the work for you! It will also prevent food from sticking much onto the surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Learning the inside out of your Instant Pot doesn\u2019t take much time. Soon, cleaning your Instant Pot will become second nature and you won\u2019t even question it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>If you\u2019re still having issues with your Instant Pot, maybe it is making a strange hissing noise, check out our troubleshooting article, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterfood.co\/instant-pot-hissing-while-cooking\/\" style=\"outline: none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instant Pot Hissing While Cooking [What This Means + What to Do]<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Step 5: Wash the Base (By Hand) While You Wait&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you are soaking the inside part of your Instant Pot, quickly give the outer cooker base a wipe down. You can do as much or as little as you want here. I normally take some soapy water and scrub off any food and grease. Then let the base air dry while the rest of the appliance is in the dishwasher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Step 6: Place the Instant Pot Inside the Dishwasher&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you decide to dishwash, I would recommend you add all of the washable elements we discussed earlier in one go. That way none of them get lost through the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Stick the lid, inner chamber, and all the extras comfortably inside the dishwasher. I say comfortably because if any cups or plates block these parts, then they may not be completely clean.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Step 7: Set Your Dishwasher, and You\u2019re Done!&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is probably the easiest part of the process. Once all of the Instant Pot parts are safely inside the dishwasher, set whichever setting you normally do (I usually opt for the most eco-friendly cycle), start and then wait for the cycle to complete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When the cycle is complete, wait about 20 minutes for everything inside to cool down, open the dishwasher and re-assemble your Instant Pot for its next use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Top Tips for Instant Pot Cleaning&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you are looking for hacks to keep your Instant Pot shiny and clean for longer, you\u2019ve come to the right place.

You don\u2019t want to forget about cleaning this, as sometimes food will get stuck inside. Try using a soft brush to clean the inside and scrape off any dried food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/OXO-Grips-Clean-Brush-Orange\/dp\/B003M8GMS6?crid=LL60HWPSSL7V&amp;keywords=soft+brush+to+clean+instant+pot&amp;qid=1655126346&amp;sprefix=soft+brush+to+clean+instate+pot%2Caps%2C126&amp;sr=8-2&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=bestof0cb-20&amp;linkId=91e80c89fb9d8cc8c3742d083c0ed36b&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" style=\"outline: none;\" data-tcb-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/OXO-Grips-Clean-Brush-Orange\/dp\/B003M8GMS6?crid=LL60HWPSSL7V&amp;keywords=soft+brush+to+clean+instant+pot&amp;qid=1655126346&amp;sprefix=soft+brush+to+clean+instate+pot%2Caps%2C126&amp;sr=8-2&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=bestof0cb-20&amp;linkId=91e80c89fb9d8cc8c3742d083c0ed36b&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">this brush on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Tip # 3 &#8211; Tend to Instant Pot\u2019s Steam Valve&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The steam valve is an important element of your Instant Pot!

Do this easily by lifting the valve off (it pops right off), give it a good wipe with soap and water, and then put it back together again.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Remember, you can always refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/instantappliances.com\/care-cleaning-pressure-multicooker\/\" style=\"outline: none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instant Brands website<\/a> to read up on the best practices when it comes to cleaning your Instant Pot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Instant Pot Cleaning FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In addition to providing you with a how-to and top tips, we\u2019ve gone the extra mile and have selected the commonly asked questions regarding care of your Instant Pot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Curious to know more? Time to find out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How Often Should I Clean My Instant Pot?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You should clean your Instant Pot inner chamber after every use. The food will otherwise stick to the cooking parts and ruin your appliance over time. Since the inside is made of stainless steel, this can either be hand washed or placed inside the dishwasher.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As for a deep clean, we advise you to thoroughly clean other parts of your Instant Pot <strong>every four to six weeks.<\/strong> Or every four cooks, if you use it frequently.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Is It Better To Hand Wash My Instant Pot?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you hand wash, you have full control over how your Instant Pot is cleaned. It may be more sustainable to hand wash your Instant Pot, but a good mixture of hand washing and dishwashing ensures you reap benefits of both methods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dishwashing takes much less time compared to handwashing, and makes for the cleanest technique. However, you choose one way over the other. You can always change it up when needed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How Do I Clean A Greasy Instant Pot Lid?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cleaning a greasy Instant Pot Lid may be a little difficult because of the size, shape, and compartments. You can place the lid inside the dishwasher, but another quick way of cleaning it is to use warm water, dishwashing soap, and a soft sponge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This should also do the trick!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How Do I Hand Wash My Instant Pot?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hand washing will take some time and effort. If you don\u2019t have a dishwasher, this is the only way to clean up your Instant Pot and ready it for the next batch of cooking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I rarely hand wash my appliance, but when I do,&nbsp; I only use warm water, dish soap, and a soft sponge in the sink basin. I then leave it out to dry on the rack overnight and reassemble in the morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You can also control how clean you want it to be. Maybe three is minimal mess and stuck food, and it doesn\u2019t need the dishwasher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If this is the case, then a good ole hand wash is perfect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Final Thoughts&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cleaning your Instant Pot is not hard. What a relief to find out that the most parts are actually dishwasher safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Well, except for the main electrical compartment or the cooker base!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is still important to clean this main component. We recommend wiping it down with a cloth, warm water, and a bit of soap. Then wipe down again with a damp rag, and then leave it to dry. Do this every few times after you pressure cook and you\u2019ll be golden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><strong>Do you have an Instant Pot? <\/strong>Which is your preferred method of cleaning \u2013 dishwashing or hand washing?
