You know the Instant Pot as the countertop appliance that can do all things, eliminating the need for countless kitchen gadgets like a slow cooker and rice cooker. It is one of our favorite types of pressure cookers. So the idea of buying accessories for it might seem self-defeating. But the truth is, you can open up a whole new cooking world by purchasing a few simple accessories for your Instant Pot.

These handy Instant Pot helpers make it easy to steam vegetables, bake a cake, bake a loaf of bread, dehydrate fruit, make yogurt, and more, all in the same appliance. By investing in a few inexpensive Instant Pot accessories, you could be eliminating the need for other, more expensive kitchen devices.

So treat your Instant Pot (and yourself) to some new accessories. After scouring the internet, I've narrowed it down to 20 of the best Instant Pot accessories that are most beloved by the Instant Pot obsessed.

1. Instant Pot Sealing Rings

The sealing ring, while not the most exciting part of the Instant Pot, plays an essential role in its function. It seals in pressure, ensuring a safe, and successful pressure build.

But if you're familiar with the Instant Pot you already know that the sealing ring can hold on to odors (here's how to clean them to reduce odor). This multi-pack of sealing rings from Instant Pot allows you to designate a ring for different types of food, say sweet or savory.

2. Instant Pot Round Cake Pan

This is another product that comes straight from the manufacturers of the Instant Pot. This springform pan was made to fit in the Instant Pot, so you can use it to make anything from lasagna to cake. Plus, the durable stainless steel can endure rapid heat change, including going straight from the freezer to the inner pot, or vice versa.

3. BiaoGan Multipurpose Stackable Egg Steamer

One of my favorite uses for the Instant Pot is making hard-boiled eggs. The shells practically fall off when you go to peel them. But sometimes you'll crack an egg or two as they roll around in the inner pot or on the trivet.

This stackable trivet is specially designed to hold eggs in place as they steam. It also gives you the ability to cook up to 18 large eggs in one 6-quart Instant Pot.

4. Instant Pot Yogurt Cups and Pressure Sterilization Rack

One of the more unexpected features of the Instant Pot is its ability to make yogurt—and this set helps you make yogurt, or anything you need in small quantities, directly in serving cups.

5. Instant Pot Mini Mitts

Pulling out the inner pot can be a challenge. It's too hot to handle without oven mitts, but it can also be hard to get a grip on the pot with fabric mitts. That's where these mini silicone mitts come in handy. The ridged, silicone surface makes for easy gripping so you can lift the inner pot with ease.

6. MGQ USA Instant Pot Magnetic Cheat Sheet Set

But this steam release diverter from The Steam Boss is the perfect solution to your Instant Pot woes. It diverts steam away from your cabinets by simply placing the diverter over your steam valve.

15. HOMEST Dust Cover with Pocket

If you don't have much counter space to spare, you're probably not going to be storing your Instant Pot on the counter full-time.

Protect your beloved appliance from all the elements of your kitchen—dust, dirt, grease, and more.
