Instant pot- lid locked

How to unlock an instant pot lid that is locked due to pressure

[@MSTAYTAY68]

Thanks for this video, Mines was completely sealed and wouldn’t unlock & I started to panic! Your video came “Right On Time!” Lol

[@carolannmason7537]

It worked! Thank heavens! I tried for hours!!!!

[@Kittyxoxo]

my fiance used Instant Pot without reading instructions, and he tried to cook some meat with liquid in the pot, the valve (silver button) wouldn't come up, so my mom said to make sure valve and pressure is released, wait for 30 minutes and you can UNPLUG your instant pot, let the contents cool down before you try opening the lid, do not burn yourself and don't force the lid to open, dont yank it with force. I thought the silver button was faulty as i checked later, but it was not, i just kept poking it in with a knife to ensure that pressure was indeed released and i plugged the pot back in as i tried opening the lid by shifting it left and right (yes the noises were annoying) but it did safely open without much force, it's just that if you cook something with a liquid content, it is bound to seal the lid like a cup seals to the glass table if you don't use a coaster. So thank you for this video, I was able to finally open my lid as well and it just takes Patience :) BE Patient and DONT give up on the pot, our food was yummy!

God bless you! I thought I was going to have to pitch out my 6 quart instant pot and a full batch of chili. I'm very thankful to you for posting this.

[@nityathiyagarajan]

Tried all your tricks and worked wonderfully well! If not for your video I would have had to throw the entire instant pot away! Thank you for doing this

[@lithathilakan6657]

Worked with same issue.. Lesson learnt, won’t keep idly batter in the pot on summer days.. Thank you so much

[@tropicalaquarium5807]

Thanks, this helped. 👍😄 In between, the vent was clogged with batter. Pours some very hot water down the vent. Water helped unclog the vent and then continued releasing the pressure from within.

[@BJ-cv6fj]

Wow! THANK YOU! I didn't lock my lid properly. I thought it would be fine, then it cut off. Well, your video helped me so much. I didn't want to loose two packs of Corn Beef. I ended up transferring everything to my Crockpot due to my IP not powering back on. So glad it didn't explode. I was on my way to the backyard with it lol.

[@ManuelMartinez-Cuauh]

You were on the right track when you were pushing in the valve. The side pin and the valve are interconnected. If the valve is not all the way down, the side pin will not slide. Thank you for your help.

[@Ilive2loveJesus]

Thank you for posting this video! Even though I do not have an InstaPot or Instant Pot, this video has helped me to figure out a way to release the stuck sealing ring to my Mirro Pressure Canner. Because I was able to turn the lid to a certain position, I was able to release it the rest of the way by using the prying end of a hammer. It took some patience as you mentioned in the video; however, after persistently putting forth the effort, it began to slowly turn the rest of the way allowing me to be able to remove the lid! Prior to watching this video, I was very close to just throwing my pressure canner in the trash! Thanks again for sharing!!!

[@sachinabhane]

Thanks it worked for me. I add an additional thing of shaking the whole instant pot for a while and then pressing the pressure value, it helped release the gases faster. Repeated the process a few times till all pressure was released.

[@Bobopidoo]

Thank you soooo much!!!! I received my new cooker 2 days ago and the lid got stuck. I was about to send it to another country by mail with my jars inside when I saw your video. Thank you so much! 😘😘😘

[@emilyremmy4314]

Mine got stuck before I could even use it

[@xiao6267]

Thank you so much for this video!! My parents were desperately trying to get it off and they were struggling so much. But the moment I showed them this video my mom did what you did and it worked and they looked at each other in disbelief! It was an amazing sight to look at as they could have just simply looked up a video on how to fix this problem. 😂 So thank you again for this video.
