If you're having trouble opening the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker lid, it could be due to pressure still inside the cooker. Use the steam release handle to completely release the internal pressure before attempting to open it. Alternatively, the float valve might be stuck in the popped-up position; try gently pressing it down using a pen or chopstick.
