Instant Pot Millet (Fast and Fluffy Perfect!) | Minimalist Baker Recipes

We were initially concerned about the Instant Pot’s safety (there are horror stories about exploding pressure cookers) but after using it several times and learning that it has 10 built-in safety mechanisms we can confirm that it feels very safe.

One of our biggest concerns was what would happen if we forgot to release the pressure before opening the lid? Well that turns out not to be a problem because the lid has a safety lock that prevents it from being opened while it is under pressure.

The biggest safety precaution we would recommend is to always make sure no one is above or within 2 feet of the steam release valve when you are rapidly releasing pressure. Also make sure to keep your hands away as hot steam will be spraying out.
