    (The struggle is real!) I’ve been using my Instant Pot for a while now…and I still have moments when I can’t get the lid lined up properly.

    Silver sharpie to the rescue…

    One of our EPC101 members shared this tip and I had to pass it along! Because, GENIUS.

    Another idea…

    Paint/write an S next to the arrow to remind yourself to set the release valve to sealing (unless it should be on venting!). This will help prevent a pressure cooker dinner disaster from happening!
