Instant Pot Sealing Rings 2-Pack Clear 5 & 6 Quart

Firstly, I thought £10 ..for a coupe of silicone rings, that’s pricey, but in reality it is not.
Silicone sadly absorbs niffs & odours which are a complete b**** to remove, & you live in fear of tainting a sweet dish with the chilli / curry you made recently …because it is lingering regardless of what you try, (i’m a fan of vinegar myself).

So with that in mind & as a new 8 litre Instantpot owner I thought it wise to buy a coloured pair to swap out as needed.

When they arrived the moulding was excellent (well trimmed) …we as a family know “red = hot” so the other (blue will be for less pungent foods).

Yes, the Instantpot does come with a translucent ring already fitted, & well seated within the lid, but rather than limit yourself a pack of two make sense, at least one can be soaked to try & knock back the pungency if required whilst you use the original, with the blue in reserve for sweet foods.

If you are wondering how much faff it is to change out a silicone seal, ..it isn’t ..the units lid has a broad band to catch, seat & seal easily (you just need to try it 😉

Instant pot brand reasonably priced, I just replaced a ring that came with the IP best to have a ring on hand, when your pot won’t seal, it was the ring.

We’ve used the heck out of our original Instant Pot liner to make curries and chili, and the smell won’t come out. It’s nice to have the option of switching to a non-scented liner when making something like boiled eggs or a dessert where you don’t want the food to take on garlic and curry flavors.

This is a good price to make my Instant Pot work like new again.

Remember when you first bought your pressure cooker and how excited you were to use it? Then when you washed it, you noticed a certain unpleasant smell somewhere in the kitchen? It is/was the sealing ring on the lid! They don’t tell you that in the TV promotions. The rubber holds the odors of whatever you cook and trust me when I say that odor reeks. No matter how much you clean it, the smell stays. This replacement set of seals is a life saver, not to mention a smell destroyer. I use one color for different types of food (meat is red, blue is pasta, and extras I bought…clear is soups, etc.). By doing this, I have eliminated the odors that build up in just the original ring (after repeated uses). These sealing rings fit just like the original and are perfect replacements or swaps as I mentioned I do. Absolutely you should have these in your kitchen. You (and everyone who enters your kitchen) will be glad you do.
