Must-Have Instant Pot Accessories
INSTANT POT LID
I find that it is helpful to have an Instant Pot lid for storage or for yogurt making! The lid is glass, and so you can watch your yogurt without removing the lid!
It will also work great if you use the slow cooker option of your instant pot. It’s also dishwasher safe. Don’t forget to make sure you order the correct size – 3 quarts, 6 quarts, or 8 quarts.
I also really got lucky that it fits one of my Calphalon saucepans, so I often use it for that, too.
SILICONE LID COVER
The silicone lid cover is also a good storage cover!
EXTRA INNER POT
It’s always helpful to have an extra instant pot liner. You can also get a liner that’s got a non-stick coating! Again, always remember to get the correct size liner for the pot that you have!
SPARE SILICONE RINGS
The time will inevitably come when you need a new ring as yours will wear out. It happens. Keep spare rings on hand.
Also, get the actual Instant Pot rings, as it will matter when it comes to quality.
You may also want to keep one ring for desserts, and one ring for savory dishes. Some people feel the rings can absorb certain smells and spices, so it’s nice to have one devoted to the certain food type you are making.
TURN YOUR INSTANT POT INTO AN AIR FRYER
Yes, you can turn your instant pot into an air fryer! No need to buy two different gadgets! You can purchase this Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid to do it. You can turn your Instant Pot into a 6-in-1 air fryer that air fries, roasts, bakes, br

STEAMER BASKET
If you want to make vegetables, you’ll want a steam basket so they aren’t soggy!
CHEESECAKE PANS

YOGURT CUPS
You’ll need good storage cups for the yogurt you make! I love these Rubbermaid Take-a-longs.
POT IN POT STEEL INSERTS
Pot-in-pot (PIP) steel inserts are also helpful for making more than one thing at a time.
IMMERSION BLENDER
I find an immersion blender very helpful. I’ve made homemade applesauce in my pot, as well as used the blender to blend up different sauces.
MINI MITTS
The mini mitts will help you hold on to your pot without getting burned.
STAINLESS STEEL RETRIEVER TONGS
These stainless steel retriever tongs help get the pot liner out as well.
