12 Instant Pot Accessories You Need

Genuine Instant Pot Silicone Lid

This Silicone Lid is amazing! Say you want to store your leftovers in the pot, this sits right on top to cover the pan! It makes it really easy, and for me, I hate having to dirty another dish if I don’t have to.

Glass Lid

This Glass Lid great for those times you are not using the pressurized settings. It acts more like a lid on a pan you are just cooking with. Great for the Saute or Slow Cooker settings.

Steamer Rack

Great for making items like tamales, fish, or even steaming veggies. This steamer rack has incredible reviews and a great star rating. I recommend this one if you are looking for a good steamer. There are other steamer options below that offer different options as well.

Sealing Rings

The Sweet and Savory Rings are great for using for different dishes. Those rings can lock in scents and you don’t want your cheesecake having the aroma of last weeks pot roast mixed in. I love the different colors, so you don’t mix them up.

Mini Mitts

Make sure to protect your hands with these silicone Mini Mitts. These mitts are great because you can securely grab and not have to worry about it slipping or losing your hold.

Stackable Steamer Inserts

Want different Stackable Steamers so you can cook an entire meal in your IP? These work perfectly as they stack beautifully. One pan can have your main dish, the other one a side dish and so on.

Springform Pan

Make a perfect cheesecake using a springform pan in your IP. This is also great for other desserts or recipes that require a pan!

Glass Cups

Glass cups are great for making desserts that you want individual servings! Whether it be a nice custard recipe, flan, or tarts, or even bread puddings. These are really nice and dishwasher safe.

Stainless Steel Rack

This Rack is one item that is very handy to have. For the Instant Pot to work properly it requires liquid. Use this rack to place the item you may not want to be submerged in the liquid to cook it. For instance, you can place your springform pan on this rack and have your liquid below and bake a cake or cheesecake. Your food won’t come out soggy from the liquid inside.

Egg Steamer Rack

If you plan to make hard boiled eggs, consider buying this Egg Steamer Rack. You can also place other items on this rack that you want it to be held in place above the bottom of the pan.

The Instant Pot is the easiest way to make deviled eggs. You won’t believe how easy hardboiled eggs that are made in the Instant Pot are to peel!

Silicone Cupcake Liners

Make a little quiche, tarts, or even muffin eggs with ease. Silicone Cupcake Liners allow you to cook perfectly single serving sized dishes in your Instant Pot.

Steam Release

This steam release attaches to where the steam comes out of your instant pot. This is good to have on if you have a small countertop and want to direct the steam a certain direction. It is very affordable and could be pretty handy to some.
