I’m using my new instantpot for the first time today. Is it normal they are quiet while pressure cooking? My stove top cooker was very loud as the weight rocked as it was supposed to. I’m wondering if its actually cooking.

I had the lever pointing the wrong direction, it had flipped up when it was supposed to flip down Kathy. Check yours and see if that’s the problem. I hope it’s just a simple fix!

The PSI thing had nothing to do with me or my credibility, it was my friend Wayne’s comment! Focus people.

There is no such thing as “10 lbs PSI”. If you are going to talk technical, it HAS TO BE technical, otherwise you totally LOSE CREDIBILITY and nothing else you say will be believable.
“PSI” means “POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH”. So you probably meant, “10PSI”. Since you clearly have no idea whatsoever what “PSI” means, then we CANNOT believe even the figure you gave (10) or that it means 10X atmospheric pressure. I would have to check it myself.

And PLEASE use BLACK TYPE for these comments. I can barely see what I’m typing!

10 psi is not 10 x atmospheric pressure. 10 psi is 10 pounds per square inch. Standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi also known as 1 bar. So, your instant pot showing 10 psi means that is it 10 psi over normal. It has 24.7 psi pushibg out on the inside and 14.7 psi on the outside pushing back.

Oh no!!! Have you let it dry out for a few days? Are you still having issues? Oh that’s scary. I would contact the company directly. So sorry that happened!

Is there a “reset” button or a fuse on the Instant Pot? Soup sloshed out over the stainless steel insert into the main receptacle and mine is now brain dead. No power. Nothing. Is this fixable?
