Very thick or starchy recipe, Not enough thin liquid, Food layered directly on bottom, Inner pot not flat
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to depressurize safely.
- Inspect contents: Open the lid and check for thick, sticky food on the bottom.
- Deglaze and dilute: Remove some food if the pot is very full. Add more liquid and scrape the bottom clean.
- Adjust layering: Place liquids on the bottom, then add solids on top without stirring, especially for rice, pasta, or tomato-based dishes.
- Check inner pot: Ensure the pot sits flat on the heating plate. Replace if warped.
