Why Does Sauce Burn In the Instant Pot:
You may see the “Burn” code come up. It’s probably because there isn’t enough liquid in the bottom of the pot to keep it from getting too hot. If the pot gets too hot from not having adequate liquid, it won’t be able to produce enough steam to pressurize.
How To Keep Sauce From Burning In the Instant Pot:
How To Keep Sauce From Burning In the Instant Pot:Make sure you have enough liquid (water, broth) in the bottom of the pot.
Liquids are what enables your Instant Pot to work– by building pressure. That pressure is what enables you to make yummy meals in a snap!
You should also check to make sure the sealing ring isn’t damaged or placed improperly. If it is, steam can escape and lead to overheating.
