Cleaning the Instant Pot Lid Question

[Shel_B]

I've been washing the Instant Pot lid by hand, including running water all over lid.  I didn't see how washing the lid like that could cause any problems. But this morning, while washing the lid, I realized I never looked into the issue ... just decided it should be OK.

 

So, using the due diligence side of my brain, I'm looking into it.  Could there by any problems if I continue as I have been?  I've not noticed any yet, and the lid's been washed 6 or 8 times.

I suggest that you look up the manual for your InstantPot model and follow their cleaning & maintenance instructions. There are a few parts that may be disassembled for a thorough cleaning. https://instantpot.com/pages/manuals-and-resources

Thanks so much for the link, and making te search simpler and more convenient for me.

 

The way I'm cleaning the lid is fine, but I did learn about disassembling some pieces, one of which I didn't even know about. Thanks again ...

I put my IP lid in the dishwasher.

Do you take anything off it except the silicone ring?

Nope.  And sometimes I just leave the ring on.  I'm lazy like that lol.

I think this should read "I'm efficient like that lol."
