Instant Pot Burn Message – what happens when your IP displays “burn”, what is the cause, how to fix it and how to prevent it in the first place.

Seeing the burn message on your Instant Pot, can lead to a slight panic moment but remember: this is a smart appliance and it’s just telling you that the temperature at the bottom it too high and it turned off the heating element. It gives you a chance to fix the issue.

Chances are that while cooking pasta dishes or chili in your Instant Pot, you saw the “burn” message on the display. The most common dishes that will cause that are pasta dishes and chili because of the thick sauce.

Before finding the success in this method, I tried all the fail-proof tips for cooking eggs on the stove top. They did not work at all or worked once and not the next time. The pressure cooker method is the only one that works for me every single time. And I’ve cooked a lot of eggs since I got my Instant Pot.
