Instant Pot Duo Mini 3 Qt Multi- Use Programmable Pressure Cooker,

While doing some research Glenda had an opportunity to get the small 3 quart instant pot at a good price. She figured that would be all she needed because she mostly just cooks for herself.

However, she says, “I quickly found myself wishing that I would have gotten the 6 or 8 quart instead. Not only do I like to cook ahead for myself but I also do like to prepare foods for family gatherings and ladies group meetings. I had short changed myself.”

So she also bought the 8 quart and uses the 3 quart for fixing side dishes such as steamed rice or vegetables. She says it is so convenient to just set it and then go about doing other things that need to be done in the home.

When she recently had a family gathering she had both Instant Pots in use along with the stove burners and oven. It was so nice to be able to cook everything at once.

But that is enough about that. This post is to showcase some of the accessories you can purchase to make your instant pot even more useful.

Instant Pot Cookbooks

The first thing you might want to get for your Instant pot is a good cookbook to expand your knowledge of how to use the Instant Pot. You are in luck. Good cookbooks are abounding as many cooking enthusiasts are also loving the Instant pot. Here are some you might want to try:

Cheesecake Pans for the Instant Pot

As you browse through your user manual or cookbook you will find that there are all kinds of things you can use the Instant Pot for. You can even make a great cheesecake in it without having to tie up your oven for so long.

There are even mini cheesecake pans that will fit inside the mini Instant Pot. Glenda bought this set for her 3 quart cooker before getting the larger cooker.

We found that you could easily stack two of these to cook 2 mini cheesecakes at the same time. It was too tall though to use all three.

There are a good many other uses for these pans in addition to cheesecake. For instance, you can fix a Quiche or mini pizza in them.

Accessory Sets for the Instant Pot

When you know that you want more than one accessory for your Instant Pot, you can save some money by getting some accessory sets already put together. There are several sets available for the different sizes. These are just to give you an idea of what is available.

Extra Sealing Rings for the Instant Pot

Of course there are a lot of items that you can purchase individually to meet your specific needs. For instance you may find a need for some new sealing rings. The rings do last a long time but when cooking meat stew with onions or garlic… You might prefer to use a different sealing ring when cooking your cheesecake. In other words, a little bit of odor could get left behind on that sealing ring. You just don’t want to smell garlic on your cheesecake.

Instant Pot Accessories Extend Usefulness

The Instant Pot also doubles as a slow cooker when you need it. You may want to get a glass lid so you can see the food without having to remove the lid. A silicone lid is also handy when you want to simply store the food in the fridge afterwards.

We have not tried making Yogurt yet but it is nice to know that you can do that too. The steamer basket is almost a necessity for me (Glenda) as I use it a lot. Whether you need a good way to cook rice, make a meat stew or a fancy dessert, the Instant Pot is one appliance that can pretty much do it all as long as you have the right accessories for it.
