Why Does My Instant Pot Keep Saying Hot?
The Instant Pot has a safety feature that prevents the lid from being opened when pressure is still high inside the cooker. It keeps displaying “HOT” until the temperature inside the pot drops and it is safe to open the lid. This usually happens after pressure cooking or sautéing in the Instant Pot. If the Instant Pot keeps saying “HOT” for an extended period, it could be due to a malfunctioning sensor or a problem with the cooker’s heating element. In this case, it is best to contact the manufacturer or seek professional help to resolve the issue.
