1. Stackable 18 Egg Steamer Rack Trivet with Heat Resistant Silicone Handles
About a year ago I went through a period where no matter what I did I could not get my hard-boiled eggs to come outright. No matter what I tried my shells stuck to the egg and took off chunks when I tried to peel them off. A friend of mine told me to make them in the instant pot and I’ve never looked back! This Stackable 18 Egg Steamer Rack Trivet with Heat Resistant Silicone Handles is great especially if you need to make a lot of eggs at once for deviled eggs, egg salad.
2. Steam Release Accessory for Pressure Cooker 
If you’re worried about the steam released from your instant pot damaging your cabinets or walls this Steam Release Accessory can help solve that problem! The silicone steam pipe fits over the release valve on your instant pot and helps to redirect the steam so it won’t blow directly into the cabinets above it!
3. Instant Pot Tempered Glass Lid
One of many awesome things about an Instant Pot is that it also doubles as a slow cooker. The only downside to that is the Instant Pot lid locks itself into place so you’re constantly having to let off steam before you can open the lid and check on what’s cooking. The same thing goes for when you’re using the sauté function. An easy and inexpensive way to fix that is by using the Instant Pot Tempered Glass Lid.
4. Pressure Cooker Cook Magnetic Times Cheat Sheet
Have you ever gone to cook something in your instant pot only to spend about 15 minutes searching the internet for the correct time, liquid amount, or pressure release time?

It’s also magnetized so it can hang on your fridge for quick reference and spiral bound so it’s easy to flip through
5. Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid For Roasting, Baking, Broiling, Reheating & Dehydrating
My Instant Vortex Air Fryer
gets the almost as much use as my Instant Pot does, (if you’ve never used an air fryer before you’re seriously missing out!) At the time I bought mine this Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid wasn’t yet available, but if it was I would have opted for it over my current air fryer. Which would have saved me a ton of very limited kitchen cabinet space.
And did I mention that air frying makes the absolute best chicken wings? That fact alone makes this air fryer lid worth it!
6. Instant Pot Silicone Lid

My favorite is the Instant Pot Springform Pan. Not only can you make cheesecakes in it, but you can also make quiche, breakfast casseroles, and even lasagna! There’s also a Round Cake Pan
