I followed her instructions and everything turned out great! We won't discuss how long it had been since I had cleaned my instant pot
BEST TIPS from any of the videos online. Thanks so much!! I LOVE my Instant Pot! My husband bought it for me for my 69th birthday which was on May 13th. Keep up the good work! Your tips are the BEST!!!!! Thanks again!!
I use one of those sponge little disposable paint brushes to clean inside that edge. They are a sort of a wedge black sponge on a stick. Come in a bag of several at any hardware store
I also have been using this. It's the best method I've tried as it's both flexible and washable.

The vinegar steam is genius. Thanks ChantyMarie!
Thanks I'm a newbie with the instapot and appreciate you taking the time to post this video.
Barkeepers Friend is a fantastic way to clean the inner pot and make it always super shiny and clean
Pam McKinnis is that food safe?
You don't leave it in the pot!
Definitely going to try the vinegar steam.. I always just use the Bar Keepers Friend stainless steel cleaner and it works amazing.. highly recommend!!
I always use cleaning vinegar. It is stronger than regular. This is very good for coffee pots, also, just perk as usual. Dont forget to rinse well after the vinegar cooks. I always just perk one clean water after the vinegar perk.
I just tried this and it's great!! Don't even have to scrub hard!!! No heating the pot up! Thanks for the tip!!
Thank you! I have watched dozens of IP videos and none of them mentioned how to clean the lid. I was afraid to get it wet! Thx a million.
You were so systematic and clear in explaining every single cleaning tip. Thank you so much! Please keep sharing such tips and hacks. Thank you once again !!
For cleaning the inner lip where everything seems to collect, I take a sponge paint brush & run around that area after every use (especially while the steam is in hot liquid form). While fresh, the tapered sponge fits under the lip very efficiently & pushes everything out. It also absorbs most, if not all, the excess moisture that creates the odor to begin with!!!
I did this last night and it works. Thanks very much. I was cooking stuff leaves and it stained the pot real bad.
This worked amazingly!! My liner was stained, and I couldn't get it clean. After following your tips, it is like brand new!. Best advice--thank you!
Thanks so much! My pot was looking like that. Now it look new again.
Thank you so much. I just got an intsantpot; love it. Had a mess all over the lid, but thanks to your video I now know what to do about it. Keep up the good work.
I just recently bought an instant pot. Since then, I’ve used it consistently. Had no second thoughts giving up the crock pot. Having an extremely fast, yet juicy and tender meal in less than hour is awesome. Had me hooked at the first meal.
Instead of a commercial non-toxic cleaner, you can also use a solution of half and half of lemon juice or vinegar and water diluted together, with a drop of liquid handwash dishsoap. This is useful for the wiping down of the exterior of the Instant Pot. Follow up with a final wipe-down with a damp-dry microfibre cloth. Finish drying with a clean dish towel if you want to.
Thanks for your video. The first one I found that explained it easily to remove these parts for cleaning!
You’re so sympathetic that I’ll buy an Instant Pot just to watch this again! 😁😁👏👏
Great idea for the vinegar steam bath. I have only used the vinegar when cleaning the pot in my sink. I have also been cleaning my inner pot with steel wool aka an sos pad. It does not scratch and comes out beautifully every time. Check out the back of the sos pad box for specific uses. I also have two of the sealing rings. I have one to use while the other is being washed.
I’ve been looking at this cooker quite a lot recently...and the power cooker xl...... I think I will just stay with my newest crock pot type slow cooker. Way less work to maintain. I can appreciate the need for faster meals with the pressure cookers, but I’ve decided that I really don’t need one! I thought I did until I realized that I’m too lazy to deal with the maintenance ..just me sayin.. your video was well done...thank you!
I agree. I bought the Pioneer Woman crockpot. :) instant pot is faster but I'm in no hurry. Lol
@@cathydiamond6573 It's not about speed. It's about REALLY tender roasts for me. Crock pot is 'hit or miss'. Instant Pot always produces fork tender roast.
I used a mildew cleaner, which is a bleach solution, and sprayed it in the pot. Because the stuff is organic, the bleach just dissolved it all off after letting it sit a few minutes, and because the pot is stainless steel, it doesn't corrode.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I'm soooo glad I found this video!
Wow, Thank you...finally got it cleaned!
Thanks for the cleaning tips, I just got my instant pot and have been cooking like crazy lol!
Re: Pot Soak - Key to cleaning ANY Appliance (especially Coffee Pot) is with VINEGAR and BAKING SODA - the combo creates a very cool, bubbling action that scrubs Stains away & neutralizes scents
This is great timing. The place I store my instant pot smells like onions. Definitely doing this tomorrow
Top tip, always leave lid inverted. Never locked when not in use. It needs to 'breath'.
What needs to breathe and why?
Exactly! Do that all the time...
@@pquirk777
To keep the smells from lingering.
I wrap a corner of my dish cloth around a straw brush (for cleaning reusable straws), and run that around the ridge of my IP.
Elizabeth G great idea!
New subscriber! I just looked up how to clean the instant pot and your channel popped up. Bonus that you’re a vegan!
Great Help!
Thanks 🇨🇦
That is the cleanest I have ever seen the inner lining pot become.
I Have been using a metal scrounge and sometimes even cleanser on all my stainless pots and pans for years, and I've done the same with my Instant Pot, however if new and the food is not too badly burnt on even after soaking then you way is easier on the metal. I never knew you could take off the top sealing valve, so I'll have to check in there. Other than that, our ways of cleaning the IP are fairly consistent. I saved this video for a month until I got time to watch it and it really pertained to me as I love my IP, however I don't use it really hard like you do. Nice video, and a very pretty host and demonstrator. BTW One thing you did not do, is remove the little sealing ring and remove that little 1/4" stem as gunk gets in the top of that and you want to make sure the little hole in the middle of the shaft is fully open. Be really careful you don't loose that little sealing ring / washer inside the lid, which is the pressure valve and safety pressure valve all in one............
I like the vinegar steam clean. Also, I didn't see the link for replacement rings. It was missing from your subscription area.
We all have our ways of cleaning things, Chanty's is simply easier on the metal. The disassembly is the important part. The links are there, I clicked on them and put the rings in my shopping cart as it directs you to Amazon.com. The rings on Amazon are colorful, red & other colors, but mine came up for the 6qt. Perhaps check again, clicking "Show More" underneath the video.
I use my straw brush from that inner ridge cleaning. It’s like a pipe cleaner brush with a handle. Works like a charm since it’s so flexible
Yes that’s what I was thinking vinegar because it gets rid of the stink and the smell that’s awesome yes I will do this I was wondering if you could clean with it by running it through the machine that’s awesome thanks for sharing😁👍💕
Thank you so much! I tried to shortcut with baking soda only and pot still had stains but once I did the vinegar soak then baking soda I was amazed at the mirror like appearance!
Hey, I appreciate these tips. I don't feel like it's an I ran out of content video!!!
I don't have an instant pot yet, But when I do but one, I know what video to come back to!
My goodness, this is interesting. I thought the lid could not be washed in the dishwasher, but I have No basis for this thought. I simply thought it has some electronic mechanics in it that makes sure it seals and releases properly. Thank you for the video!
Several sites say NO to putting lid in dishwasher. Not sure why.
You need to take that little rubber button off and take the pin out to clean there too!!!!
Very nicely done, concise and informative. Thanks for taking the time to do this video.
Excellent video, very well presented. O use the vinager and baking soda too to clean my instant pot.
My favorite kitchen cleaning utensil is a toothbrush. My favorite cleaning solution is a 50/50 blend of Dawn Dish Soap and distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle.
Wonder if one could plop the soiled silicon sealing ring in the pot (Of coarse with a second clean silicon sealing ring on the lid) during the vinegar steam clean?
Very helpful. Thanks.
I love you and this video is so useful. The reason I don’t subscribe is because I’m looking for keto diet recipes. :))
Worked amazing, thank you
I use a wooden spoon to hit the quick release. This is really helpful. Mine is always a mess. Lentils! 🌈🌈
If you have extra sealing rings... can you include a sealing ring in your vinegar water steam bath...?
You can also remove the caution sticker that's inside your inner pot area for the glue from that would get hot & bake on each time it's in use.
I just bought a pressure cooker. Haven't used it yet. Thanks for showing me how to clean it.
Vinegar steam is a great idea.
I didn’t know all parts were dishwasher safe. Thanks.!
omg thank you for this... my instant pot really needs this..hahaa i'm slightly ashamed how much it needs this. I had no clue how to get rid of the aroma. thank you thank you
Wow you look like Donna Reed. Very beautiful lady. Nice review. I have been trying to decide which electric pressure cooker to buy. So at least I know how to clean one now. I've always used one that goes on the stove. I like this one better.
Yes that’s what I was thinking vinegar yes this is what I was wondering about this is awesome vinegar get rid of odors
Thanks, I love to wash it deeply and not lazy 😱😭😂.
I like the idea of putting it in the dishwasher ha ha Ha
Thanks! Wish the Instant Pot owner's manual gave more info about maintenance and cleaning.
I also sit a small dish of baking soda inside the pot when I store it away; with the lid up! 🙂
Re: #2 Ridge Cleaning - SUPER EZ using a $1 SPONGE Brush - at Craft or Paint Stores :) The pointed Wedge Shape of the Sponge is perfect size
Thank you!
Very meticulous n hardworking. Good job. 👍🙂
Using the vinegar steam right now. Then going to remove and clean the small parts and I have BarKeepers friend already. Also just ordered 2 new sealing rings because I want to make cheesecake.
BTW used your vinegar hack in my paintbrush sponge to clean inside that edge. Perfect. Cut grease and picked up the crumbs
I use a foam paint brush to clean under the rim. Also the plastic drip catcher needs to be cleaned. Good video.

Thank you it works great the thing with vinegar.
Thanks for the helpful tips. Also, your highlights and eyebrows look great
To clean the ridge use a dollar store spongy makeup wedge. To de-scent the silicone sealing ring, after washing the ring, rinse the wedge and dip it into dollar store imitation vanilla and rub it all over the ring and especially into the groove and allow to air dry.
Nancy Bail great tips !
I use a sponge paint brush to do along top edge
Thank you for such a helpful video. My question is the condenser cup. I removed it to wash it, but I can't get it back on. I have the 3 quart Duo Mini Instant Pot. Please and thank you.
Awesome I did the vinegar soak and stains are gone... thank you
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, seems simple bit yes I still needed this video.
I really like the vinager and water cleaning. I clean with essential oils and vinager all the time. I'm not going to use EO in here incase it breaks down my ring for sealing it. But I am going to clean it now today with the vinager water mixture. I wonder if that will help get the cooked on crap off the sides of my innerpot. It won't clean off easily and before I try the baking soda I'll try the easiest way lol. Thank you for telling me about no steel wool
I also did not know I could put the entire lid in the top rack . How convenient for a lazy day or messy day lol, safe to say from my comments I learned a lot from this video
i seen this in Pinterest but never saw that it work lol sooo trying it now 😀😀
I use disposable mascara brushes to clean the ridge
I kinda demolished my inner pot after incorrectly sautéing something. I didn't really expect to get it clean. At least not easily. Vinegar soak = brand new. Easy as anything
Where did you buy your instant pot? Very interested in buying one.
Excellent videos!!
Very good information. Thanks.
Thank you really appreciate your video mine is smelling already. It’s only new.
I was hoping for a baking soda & vinegar, Instant Pot Volcano!
Stand back, it's Science!
THANKYOU, nice job. Peter in name of Renee, my wife. She does it also with Baking Soda and Palmolive dtrgnt. Your white vinegar maintenance will be next.

This is a great video! Thank you!
I use a toothbrush to clean inner ridge. New one of course.
very helpful, thanks for sharing!!
Thank You!
I use citric acid on my liner. Works the best so far for cleaning the liner.
Oh my gosh! I better get to cleaning my IP...never been cleaned!! Just the food liner pot. 😷
I've never cleaned mine either in 2 years other than the inner pot. I don't have any problem with odor. I just store the lid upside down or in the holders on the side.
Thank you, I've tried the vinegar & water steam, but the seal still reeks of roast beef. Why can't I get the smell out?
Thank you been thinking about getting one
How would I steralize the inner pot of the insta pot?
I have the duocrisp, after I made some wings theres a sticky residue onling the top
I washed it with soap and some diluted vinegar but it dries with a sticky film is there anything I can do in between washes that will help prevent it?
Also any suggestions on cleaning the lid to the duocrisp??
As I understand it, the top can go into the dishwasher..do that!
Have you ever tried Bar Keepers Friend to clean stainless steel?! It is incredible.
This is what I use and it is in fact incredible and fairly inexpensive. I have used it on Stainless steel and everything else for over 20 years.
I'm not sure if Barkeeper's friend leaves a residue from the oxyalic acid. It's great on stainless steel, but IDK if it's safe for use on cooking surfaces.
You could also use baby wipes
I use my instant pot for the first time and made pot roast and because I kept getting the burn warning, I had to add an absolute ton of liquid. Fast forward to me then pressing the fast released button over and over and having pot roast liquid go absolutely everywhere. It's caked on the entire top of the lid and completely covering the little steam spout. Any tips? I know I'll never use Quick Release again, ever.
Put a dish rag over the pressure release and that will keep the steam contained, and you with less work cleaning the kitchen afterwards. The Instant Pot really isn't that hard to clean.
Could you go over that wiping down of the bottom part again please? I think I might have gotten the order mixed up.
How to clean food from inner pot?
Thanks for this. My instant pot always stinks! 😬
Missed ya girl!!
One of the things you didn't address is the heating element: what to do to remove any stains on the heating element!
