Is Instant Pot Inner Pot dishwasher safe?
Dishwasher safe✓ Verified
Yes — the stainless steel inner pot is dishwasher safe (the base unit is not).
Why
The removable stainless steel inner cooking pot is dishwasher safe. Never put the main housing (the part with the heating element and electronics) in the dishwasher or any water. The sealing ring and lid are also dishwasher safe.
How to wash it
Inner pot, sealing ring, and lid go in the dishwasher (top rack for the lid is gentlest). Wipe the base unit with a damp cloth only. Wash the silicone sealing ring regularly to prevent odor retention.
