Is it OK to Use Liners on Instant Pots?

Instant Pot liners are not recommended for use because they can get stuck in the venting system and block the vents.
This could lead to overheating and possible damage to the unit.

Is it Ok to Use Instant Pot Liners?

Instant pots are great for making soups, stews, sauces, and even desserts. However, if you try to put something directly into the pot, it could stick and burn. To avoid this problem, you can line the bottom of the pot with a liner. This way, you won’t get burned by any splatters. It’s important to note that liners aren’t designed to fit perfectly snugly around the edges of the pot. So, if you’re using a larger pot, you’ll still need to leave about 1/2 inch between the edge of the liner and the rim of the pot.

What are the liners made of?

Most liners are made from silicone. Silicone is nonstick and easy to clean. It doesn’t react with acidic ingredients like tomato sauce or vinegar. It’s also safe to use with metal utensils.

nylon

Nylon is a synthetic fiber used to make clothing, carpets, and other textiles. Nylon is durable, strong, and resistant to chemicals. It does not melt or burn easily.

polyester

silicone

Polyester is a manmade material that is manufactured from petrochemicals. Polyester fibers are usually white, but can be dyed many colors. Polyester is very soft and flexible. It is used to make clothes, bedding, and carpeting.
Silicone is a clear, rubbery polymer derived from silica SiO2. Silicone is used in medical devices such as breast implants, artificial joints, catheters, and heart valves.

BPA-free

Bisphenol A BPA is a chemical compound found in plastics and other materials. It was discovered in 1891 by German chemist Leo Hirschfeld. In 1938, scientists identified BPA as a hormone disruptor. Since then, BPA has been linked to cancer, diabetes, obesity, and reproductive problems.
BPA is not only found in plastic bottles, but also in canned goods, baby bottles, dental sealants, thermal receipts, and cash register receipts.
To reduce exposure to BPA, choose products labeled “BPA free” or “No BPA”.

Why would I use them?

BPA-Free containers help prevent the leaching of chemicals into the food product. Leaching occurs when certain chemicals migrate from the packaging material into the food product. This migration can occur during processing, storage, shipping, handling, and even after consumption.
Leaching can lead to health concerns such as endocrine disruption hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, and developmental disorders.
BPA-Free containers are designed to prevent the migration of these harmful chemicals into the food product by using different types of polymers instead of BPA.

How to use Instant Pot liners

Instant Pot Liners are designed specifically for use with the Instant Pot IPL7000/IPL7100/IPL7220/IPL7300 series. These liners are silicone based and fit snugly into the inner pot of the Instant Pot.

2 Do not put anything directly onto the liner. This could damage the liner.

thicker and stronger

Liners are very important for any type of cooking. They protect your pans from scratches and dents. They also help prevent splatters and spills. A good quality liner is thicker and sturdier than regular plastic. It is usually made of polyethylene or nylon. These materials are durable and easy to clean.

eco-friendly, recyclable

Liners are used for many different types of cooking. For instance, they are used for baking, roasting, sautéing, grilling, and even poaching. They are also used for protecting the surface of nonstick pans. They are available in various sizes and shapes. They are also eco-friendly, recyclables, and dishwasher safe.

Please do not…

1 Use plastic liners for any type of cooking. Plastic liners are not only harmful to our environment but they are also bad for the health of people who eat these items.
2 Do not throw away your plastic liners after using them. Instead, take them to the nearest recycling center.

Safe alternatives to Instant Pot liners

Instant Pot Liners are made from polypropylene PP and polyethylene terephthalate PET. These materials are non-recyclable and cannot be recycled. They are also toxic to humans and animals.

Summing up

Non stick cooking spray is used for coating pans or other surfaces to prevent sticking. It is usually sprayed onto the pan surface using a special nozzle attached to the spray bottle. Non stick cooking spray is available in different types such as regular cooking spray, baking spray, breading spray, marinade spray, salad dressing spray, sauce spray, sugar spray, vegetable spray, and others.
