Notes

*How to Make a Foil Sling

  1. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil about 24 inches long. Fold it lengthwise into thirds to create a thick, sturdy strip about 3 inches wide.
  2. Place the center of the strip under the baking pan.
  3. Grasp both ends of the foil “handles” and lower the pan onto the trivet in the Instant Pot.
  4. Fold the ends of the foil handles down so they don’t interfere with the lid’s seal. 
  5. When the dish is done, grasp the foil handles and carefully lift the pan out of the pot.
