It can easily help you to get rid of the silicone sealing ring. Moreover, it is a tried and tested method of cleaning the instant pot.<\/p><p>All you have to do is to fill the pot with about a couple of cups of water and a lemon rind. Alternatively, you can use about two cups of white vinegar. You must seal the lid them and run the instant pot for about a couple of minutes. Make sure that you run it on steam. Once two minutes are done, remove the ring from the lid and allow it to dry completely. It will now be like a new one and won&#8217;t have any foul smell.<\/p><p>If you happen to use your instant pot on a regular basis, you must remove the silicone ring to check for damages as well. So, it isn\u2019t just about cleaning it. There might be leaks, cracks, or deformation in the sealing ring. In that case, you will need a new sealing ring.<\/p><p>To be on the safer side, you can keep a couple of extra rings to be on the safer side. So, whenever you see any damage, you can simply replace it. Make sure that your instant pot is safe to use, and it should be effective at the same time.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Instant-Pot-60-Max-Electric\/dp\/B077T9YGRM?tag=homendgarden-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4526 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homendgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/54e8a432-e4ff-4098-b15c-f326b468a5df-Prime-Day-Instant-Pot-Demo-Hero.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homendgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/54e8a432-e4ff-4098-b15c-f326b468a5df-Prime-Day-Instant-Pot-Demo-Hero.jpg 580w, https:\/\/homendgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/54e8a432-e4ff-4098-b15c-f326b468a5df-Prime-Day-Instant-Pot-Demo-Hero-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p><h3>Cleaning it in the dishwasher<\/h3><p>The above-mentioned method of steam cleaning the ring is one of the best and quickest method. However, if you haven&#8217;t used your instant pot in a long time, cleaning it in the dishwasher will be a good idea.<\/p><p>This particular option might not make it completely free of all the foul smell, but it will give a good cleaning. Make sure that your instant pot is clean, safe, and hygienic to use if you are using it after a long time.<\/p><p>These are a couple of simple ways that you can opt for. These don&#8217;t require any special cleaning equipment or expertise for these. These are some basic things that most households have. So, cleaning your instant pot certainly doesn&#8217;t be an issue whenever there is a foul smell.<\/p><p>Also, make it a point to have a few extra rings. You can simply purchase these on amazon, and it would be really helpful when the sealing ring is damaged. Keep your instant pot clean and hygienic at all times. Opt for either of the mentioned methods to get rid of the foul smells in the vessel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
