Instant Pot Hack

If anyone uses their IP regularly, they know how the silicone gasket gets pretty stinky.  Here's a sure way to remedy.

1.  Put gasket(s) in a zip lock bag.

2.  Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup vinegar.

3.  Let soak for a few hours.

4.  Rinse and wash the gasket and no more stinky gaskets.

 

I tried this today and it really worked.

When the weather is sunny, you can put the gasket outside for a couple of hours, Also when storing the IP, lay the lid gasket side up to allow more air to get to the gasket.
