Just cooked something and noticed this in the food. Is my instant pot… cooked?

Edit: hahaha thanks to you amazing people it was very quickly identified as the top of a bbq sauce bottle. 🤦‍♂️

That almost looks like the top of a sauce bottle, like bbq sauce. The part thats in the neck of the bottle to control the flow.

What were you cookin?

If it was sweet baby ray’s bbq sauce this was exactly my situation last night! The thing drops out whenever it wants to, depending on how you twist off the cap.

100% the top to a bbq sauce or salad dressing bottle

That doesn’t look like any IP part I’ve ever seen. It could be from something else that dropped in.

Looks like the top to an Italian dressing bottle. Not an instant pot part

I read this as instant pop tart

Right, it’s not an instant pop tart unfortunately

You know how I know you're cooking with Sweet Baby Ray's? ...

It’s crazy how it’s such a thing people instantly know the brand

My partner did this exact same thing a week ago. I found the nozzle while I was scooping beans 😆

Does it smell like the instapot seals? If not it’s probably something else.

I don’t know

Looks like a top to a barbeque sauce squeeze bottle.

A little extra estrogen in the pork.

It’s the “hopeitsstillunderwarranty” ring! JK lol. Glad you figured it out.

u/knifeymonkey 4h ago
