From what I understood, it’s a spare lid gasket. Some people will use the white one for savory foods and the red one for sweets due to the gasket holding in the scent of some foods
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Great question! Sealing Rings help lock in flavour and nutrients while cooking. The extra Sealing Ring that comes with your Viva model is an added bonus so that you can switch rings for sweet and savoury dishes. Plus, it's always great to have a back up! Happy Cooking!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s an extra seal for the lid, you can use one for savory dishes and one for sweet dishes or just change it out every 12-18 months. The booklet that came in the box explains in detail a little more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wasted a lot of time thinking I needed to use the red seal when there was already a clear seal on the pot. Thanks for wasting my time Instapot
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is recommend to use one gasket for savory dishes and one for sweet according to the instructions supplied. However I think it can also serve as a backup as not all Instant Pot's come with two gaskets.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.i think it goes on the lip of the inner pot to help keep your food from going all over
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Do I NEED to use the gasket. I only have the RED one as I purchased an Open box during a store closure. I want to cook a Pot Roast.
