Why is steam leaking from the side of the Instant Pot Pro Kitchen Appliances lid?
- BBenjamin TurnerJul 28, 2025
Steam leakage from the Instant Pot lid can occur for several reasons. Make sure there is a sealing ring in the lid, and if there is, ensure it is properly installed and not damaged; replace it if necessary. Food debris on the sealing ring can also cause leaks, so remove and clean the ring thoroughly. Ensure the lid is closed correctly. Inspect the sealing ring rack for any warps or bends. A misshapen inner cooking pot rim can also cause this issue; consider replacing the inner pot.
