Why does my Instapot say "burn" and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Your Instapot says "burn" when it detects that the food is sticking to the bottom and burning, which can happen if there isn't enough liquid or if the pot is too full. To prevent this, make sure to follow the recommended liquid levels in recipes, avoid overfilling the pot, and deglaze the bottom if necessary during cooking.
