Arigatoo!

Hello Michelle, Thank you for giving Nami’s recipe a try. We’re sorry to hear that it didn’t turn out well for you.
Our recipes go through a many testing before we publish them using IP Duo, and we’ve never encountered the “burn” sign.
Could you check if your sealing ring is not damaged and if the float valve is clean and pointing to “Sealing” instead of “Venting”?
If you’re using the 6-quart, please ensure that you use at least 1 1/2 cups (375mL) of water in the recipe, as this is the minimum amount required for the Instant Pot.
We hope this information helps you, and we hope you will give it a try again.

Didn’t work for me unfortunately. Got the Burn Food code. I followed the directions for washing, soaking, and using 1:1 ratio rice:water. After the burn code, I added two more cups of water (so ultimately 1:2 ratio) because I didn’t want to ruin my pot- the non stick instant pot- or waste the rice since I figured that even if it turned out as rice porridge, the kids would eat it.
I love the clear and detailed instructions and photos and video which are all very high quality. I have used many, many recipes from this site, even every difficult and labor-intensive ones but this is the first one which didn’t work for me. Funny since it’s “just” rice! My mom told me that good rice is the hardest to make and that’s why sushi chefs study for 7 years just to make rice!
My Zojirushi is on the blink and my 30+yr old National is also finally not working right which is why I wanted to try the instant pot.

Old reply, but might help someone in the future. Your issue was most likely due to the large circular ring lid seal not being in place properly. You always want to check the seal on the instant pot before use. If steam is coming from the sides of the lid and not the steam vent, the seal isn’t in place and the rice won’t cook.

I’ve ruined rice a few times by forgetting to check the lid seal.
