Q: QuestionDoes this pot give a message if something is burning?

Asked 1 year ago by Linda.

• A:Answer Hello Linda. The Pro Plus is the same as other Instant Pot models. It will give a Burn Food error if something is burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot. To avoid this error, always make sure to use the required amount of liquid and always deglaze the inner pot after sauteing.
