15 Super Useful Instant Pot Accessories

 

1. Instant Pot Lid

If you are like me then you have a house with kids who break things! This instant pot lid is dishwasher safe and can also be used on the stainless steel inner pot in the oven up to 220c. We love it. You can use this in place of the pressure lid when slow cooking.

It can never hurt to have an extra lid or two on hand, am I right?

2. Silicon Starter Kit

I just adore my silicon accessories! This little kit has three great accessories that are perfect for use with your Instant Pot. You get 2 oven pinch mitts, one silicone trivet mat and a silicone lid.

This lid is kid-friendly and the kids can place it on the pot by placing the lid on the rim and then pressing gently. I love that this can be repurposed to work on fry pans, bowls and cups. Another way to use this lid is as a microwave cover. How cool and easier does this make your kitchen life? The material is easy to clean. You will need just a little soap and a sponge. Whether you are cooking or storing leftovers in the fridge, grab this silicone cover.

How cute are the pinch mitts? You can slip them on and off with ease! Do you see that ribbed element? This makes your grip hold better with slippery material. There are so many ways to use these heat-resistant mitts. They can make an appearance at the family barbeque on a summer day, use them when taking your hot dish out of the microwave and handle a hot lid when cooking. They are not just for the oven!

The silicone mat is super versatile. Because it folds, you can use it as a pan holder, a jar opener or just anywhere you need extra grip. Feel free to use it as a hot pad, hot mat, Coaster protector, placemat, spoon rest, or drying mat.Instant pot accessories; silicon starter kit

3. Wide Rim Mesh Basket

This mesh basket is great for those dishes that need to be strained. Stick it in before you cook and then you can easily pull out the food without having to lift the hot pot to dump the liquid and getting that oh-so-hot steam facial that burns your eyebrows off!!!

The versatility of this mesh basket goes a long way. I don’t need to use this for cooking only. I’ll be washing my rice in it, coriander…anything that tends to run off under tap water!

Does it not make a great fruit or vegetable holder too? It sure does. Instead of storing it away when not in use, let it sit on your kitchen counter with fresh fruits.Instant pot accessories; mesh basket

4. Non-Stick Inner Pot

This non-stick pot is great for use with your Instant Pot. We love something that can cook and need elbow grease to clean up. Clean up will be a breeze which is always nice after family dinner! Just make sure it fits in perfectly with your pot.instant pot accessories; non-stick pot

Instant Pot Accessory for Steaming

5. Steaming Rack

I love steaming veggies. Add this rack above some delicious soup or chicken broth to get some delicious flavors in your food while you cook the soup!

It is fairly high so you don’t have to worry if you’re using it in lots of water. Because we love multi-functionality in the kitchen, I see all the many ways this can come in handy on the kitchen counter. Use it as a cooling rack when you take your baked stuff out of the oven. It can also act as a cake stand, right? I think so too!Instant pot accessories; steaming rack

6. Silicone Vegetable Steamer

This is another great tool for steaming. Add delicious flavor to your veggies with this easy-to-clean silicone steaming basket. You place it in the pot and it will not drop in due to its shape. Its material makes it safe to use too as it will leave no scratches on your pots and pans. Once your veggies are done steaming, just hold it by its handles and pull it out. Remember how we talked about using the steaming rack as a cooling rack? I believe you can place your steaming veggies on that before serving!instant pot accessories; silicone vegetable steamer

7. Silicon Lid

I am sensing a theme. Silicon is the way to go when it comes to Instant Pot accessories! This silicon lid is great for saving your meal directly in the pot.

You will love how handy they are too! Use them in the microwave, oven, stovetop, to store in the fridge, or serve food at the table. These lids will fit most of your smooth-rimmed containers including pots, pans, glasses and bowls.
