These recipes might not call for that much liquid because the old models didn’t need it. Older Instant Pot recipes, my own included, might have been tested on earlier models of the appliance, which had a less sensitive burn sensor. It’s also important to use enough liquid, at least a half cup, even if the recipe doesn’t direct you to. If you have seared your ingredients using the sauté function, add some liquid to the pot, bring it to a simmer, then scrape up all those browned bits thoroughly before locking the lid. And that is a common reason the burn message appears. Your electric pressure cooker can’t tell the difference between the tasty, caramelized bits that stick to the pot after you brown your ingredients (sometimes known as the fond) and food that is smoldering to a crisp. Then after the machine starts counting down, check that the pressure indicator at the top is firmly in its locked position (I poke it with a chopstick).
Before cooking, make sure the ring is pressed down all the way around the inside cover of the pot.
