Tips for Preventing Meat Sticking in Instant Pot

Push saute mode on Instant Pot and wait until the screen display reads HOT. This step is key to creating a more nonstick like surface for your stainless steel pot.

Always Preheat Stainless Steel

When the pan heats up, the tiny pores in the stainless steel close and smooth down. When this happens, cooked food is able to come off easier, making clean up no more difficult than a nonstick pan. If you do experience some meat or food bits stuck on the bottom of the Instant Pot, be sure to deglaze the pan before pressure cooking.

After the pot reads HOT on the screen, add oil and other ingredients.

Be sure to follow this tip each time you use the saute mode on the Instant Pot and you’ll have a much easier pot to clean later! Plus, it will be easier to deglaze.

Deglaze Instant Pot

Deglazing is the term to describe the process of removing the fried on pieces of food that’s stuck on the bottom of the pan. For this recipe, you deglaze the Instant Pot by adding a little water to the pot while on saute mode and scraping the bottom clean by using a spatula.

Prevent Burn Error

Deglazing the pot before pressure cooking will help prevent any possible BURN error appearing on the screen.

Noodles

We love to use real lasagna noodles for this soup. Both oven-ready style boxed and traditional boxed lasagna noodles work for this recipe. Make sure you break the noodles up into bite size pieces before cooking. We have also used penne pasta and loved the result.

Gluten Free Option

This lasagna soup recipe is easy to make gluten free by switching the noodles with your favorite brand. We prefer these gluten free Tinkyada lasagna noodles the best.
