Instant Pot IP-DUO - The Instant Pot Lid; Sealing Ring; Float Valve; Steam Release Handle

Your Instant Pot comes with a few
accessories:
7.Aspoon and a ladle, which are
handy for cooking rice. The ladle in
particular is super handy.
8. Ameasuring cup, your Instant
Pot can cook rice and so this cup is
designed to help you do just that.
Basically it’s designed to help you
work out water to rice ratios. It’ll
come in handy. It’s not the same as
the measuring cups that a lot of
American recipes use
9. A steam rack (you'll also see it
called trivet), to lift the food up
from the bottom of the inner pot.
10. (not shown) if it’s a DUO: a
condensation collector that you
will attach at the back. The DUO
model has a gap on the lid to hook
the lid upright. When the lid stands
this way, the condensation runs
down and the resulting liquid is
collected. Click here to watch how
to attach the condensation
collector on our Instant Pot UK for

THE LID
A happy Instant Pot lid makes for a
happy Instant Pot owner.The lid
has the all-important:

Sealing Ring: an intrinsic part of
your Instant Pot, the sealing ring
works very hard. It expands under
pressure to create a sealed
chamber, that seal is what helps
your Instant Pot cook under
pressure.
Float Valve:the steam generated
inside the Instant Pot helps the
float valve literally float up. Once
it's up, your Instant Pot lid is locked
in place. You should never ever
force the lid open while the float
valve is up. This would be extremely
dangerous.
Steam Release Handle: the steam
release handle has two positions,
Sealing and Venting. For pressure
cooking to take place, the steam
release handle has to be pointing to
Sealing.
The sealing ring, the float valve and
the steam release handle work
together.
