Instant Pot Sealing Ring

[DesertRaider]

Chili. My smoked chuck roast chili to be exact. I love it, my wife, not so much. So now we will have multiple sealing rings.

I see I already commented above. Well, even if I'm forgetful at least I'm consistent.

It'll go away, I bet. How was the beef?

Funny this just got bumped today. I just make mexican shredded beef in mine for lunch and it really stinks right now.

[RolfTaylor]

Hmmmm...hmmmm... I have never smelled mine. Sounds like I shouldn't start LOL! I don't use the IP all that often, though just a few weeks ago I started eating oatmeal (supposed to be healthy) and the IP works great for that.

[Attjack]

What I do is not smell it and that works really well for me.

I have found that making a batch of rice helps with the odor. Not 100%, but it helps.

I have the extra rings as well. I have found that a good hot wash in my dishwasher gets rid of the smell. The whole lid is dishwasher safe.

I consider the sealing ring a consumable item. When it starts to smell, I replace it.

[Mosca]

It has transferred for me. That doesn’t invalidate your results. But it did ruin a whole pot of some pork thing I was making.

I originally bought 2 sealing rings because the turmeric I use in Indian food in the Instant Pot turned the seal yellow. Then I found out that the color pretty quickly goes away with use so I’ve never used the backup seal.

I never noticed a lingering smell on the silicone seal and I’ve got a pretty sensitive sniffer. I store the IP with the lid upside down on top of the pot assembly. I reinsert the seal into the lid just before each cook. I always let it free range between IP cooks.

True!

[treesmacker]

Yep - get one so you can help us all figure it out!

[treesmacker]

Yep... impossible to un-smell them. We do as Mojo0209 said!
