Instapot Duo Plus 8QT won't come to pressure?
Hi, I recently bought a instapot as I wantedd a pressure cooker for a while and missing the ones back home (stovetop) I decided to try an electric one. Me and my roommates bought the "Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker - 8Qt - Grey/Stainless Steel" and started using it. The first day we bought it, we used for a recipe that goes technically in a rice cooker, but it reached pressure no problem and cooked perfectly. I tried again a week later with double that recipe and the pot never reached pressure, ended up cooking the recipe without the pressure and the timer never started. Now, every recipe either does that or sometimes decides to do pressure properly.
Today I went with the same recipe from the first day and it was on the rice setting in low pressure for 25 minutes, it for some reason went to high pressure and pressurized, then stopped cooking and went back to preheating and the knob on top was knocked out and filled with water. After adjusting the knob and finnicking with it for a while, it ended up getting the low pressure and started cooking.
I don't know what I could be doing wrong here, I checked the sealing ring, the knobs and valves before starting, I do it every time.
I'd really appreciate some help and insight on this model.
