Notes

* How to Make a Foil Sling
  1. Tear off a long piece of foil, about 20 inches or so.
  2. Center the baking dish on the foil strip and use the 2 ends as handles to lower the dish into the Instant Pot.
  3. Fold or tuck the handles down along the sides of the pot so they don't interfere with the lid.
  4. When done, use the sling to lift the baking dish out of the pot.
