If the 'burn' error comes on, you can still save your food

Even a seasoned pressure cooker pro may have convulsions when they see the dreaded "burn" error warning on an Instant Pot's display. Even though you might be worried that your pot is filled with the burned remains of a perfectly fine pot roast, chances are that you can still save your meal from burning. When food begins to stick and burn to the bottom of the pot, your Instant Pot detects this and displays the "burn" error. This often occurs when you try to cook with either too little liquid or too thick of a liquid.

To correct a "burn" mistake, press "cancel" to put an end to the Instant Pot's cooking process. After that, let the pressure out so you may reach the meal by opening the lid. The error message frequently appears before anything burns too severely. After giving your food a good stir and adding at least a half cup of water or stock, you can replace the lid and carry on cooking. Use a sturdy object to scrape off any food that has stuck to the pan's bottom if you want to avoid tripping the sensor once more.
