    Yes, you're going to want these Instant Pot accessories.

    You can't unleash this multi-function cooker's full potential until you've worked with a few extra Instant Pot gadgets.

    I'm sharing my must-haves as well as a few of my favorites that I can't live without!

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the Best Instant Pot Accessories! | Recipes to Nourish

    It's no shocker that I LOVE the Instant Pot.

    I own two Instant Pot's and I wrote an entire cookbook using this amazing kitchen tool.

    I love to make as much as I can in the Instant Pot because it saves me so much time.

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the Best Instant Pot Accessories! | Recipes to Nourish

    Snacks like 3 minute applesauce, super easy deviled eggs {that peel so easily!}, hearty soups, tender meats like short ribs and corned beef, take-out-at-home inspired meals like Thai chicken, drinks like spiced apple cider, and even treats like chocolate ganache covered cheesecake and stuffed peaches cook beautifully in the Instant Pot!

    The Best Instant Pot Accessories You Need

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the best Instant Pot accessories! | Recipes to Nourish

    Instant Pot Sealing Ring

    You're going to want at least one extra sealing ring because the stronger flavors of food you cook tend to get stuck in the sealing ring. If you're making desserts or other foods that are not as savory, you're going to want to swap out that sealing ring so your dessert doesn't end up tasting like some meat dish or heavily seasoned meal.

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the best Instant Pot accessories! | Recipes to NourishInstant Pot Glass Lid

    This glass lid is a must-have for sure! You're going to want a lid that fits securely on the top of the Instant Pot so you can store leftovers in the refrigerator. It's so helpful!

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the best Instant Pot accessories! | Recipes to NourishExtra Instant Pot Insert

    If you don't have a second Instant Pot like I do, then you're going to want to have an extra insert on hand. Why? Because often you're storing leftovers in the insert OR you'll want to transfer food out of it during the cooking process so you can use the sauté function or cook something else. A second one really comes in handy!

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the best Instant Pot accessories! | Recipes to NourishSteamer Basket

    Steamer baskets are perfect for making hardboiled eggs {or deviled eggs}, mashed potatoes, all kinds of veggies and more! This one is great for the Instant Pot, just bend the handles off so it will fit perfectly.

    If you prefer a regular steamer, I use and love this one with an extendable handle. I do all of the same things with it, it's easy to lift out after cooking, but a bit harder to make sure nothing falls off.

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the best Instant Pot accessories! | Recipes to Nourish1 ½ QT Casserole Dish with Glass Lid

    I LOVE this casserole dish!!! I use it to make quiche, frittatas, cornbread, cakes, casseroles, dessert crisps and crumbles plus so much more! Hands down this is one of my favorites. I also love that you can use the glass lid to cover other things that you use in the Instant Pot like springform pans and ramekins.

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the best Instant Pot accessories! | Recipes to Nourish7-Cup Glass Bowl

    You can do so much with this glass bowl! Make breads, quiche, bread pudding, casseroles, cakes, and so much more! Plus it has so many other uses for regular kitchen use.

    Wondering what Instant Pot accessories are a must for this amazing kitchen tool? I've got you covered with the best Instant Pot accessories! | Recipes to Nourish6" or 7" Springform Cake Pan

    There's a great silicone springform Instant Pot cake pan that often sells out online, it's listed on my products I love page, which is my preference. I also love my round cheesecake pan with a removable bottom that I use often. I do not bake with it or use anything acidic in it, but I do use it in my Instant Pot for cheesecakes.

    Porcelain Ramekins & Glass Ramekins

    Ramekins are SO helpful for making custard, eggs en cocotte, little quiches and so much more! I use these porcelain ramekins and these glass "custard" ramekins. They're great and can even be stacked in your Instant Pot if you have an extra Instant Pot steamer insert.

    6-Cup Bundt Pan

    Bundt pans certainly are not a necessity, but they sure are fun! I use it to make my Spiced Pumpkin Bundt Cake and other cakes in the Instant Pot.

      I have definitely not used my IP as much as I should be! I can't wait to dive into your book!

      Do you use that mesh steamer basket for doing bone broth? Is it a fine enough mesh for that? What a great idea for steaming and eggs!

      I have been considering getting an instant pot for a while now and didn't know at all what to look for. I guess the fancy kitchen gadgets for Asians are rice and water cookers, which I love using! Then the rest of time I just enjoy watching my food simmer on the stove. You made a great point on the time saving though and the variety of foods you are able to make with instant pot are so convincing. It will be nice to do my bone broth without keeping on eye on and the steaming ramekins will be so useful as I steam eggs for my kids a few times a week. I am pinning this post for future reference!

      I have such a low tech kitchen it is unbelievable - well I guess I have one gadget, a vitamix. But this instapot, man do I want to try it! It may get me out of my gadgetless lifestyle 😛

      This is very informative - thanks Emily! I have been on the fence about getting an instant pot but seeing your guide and the array of uses and meals that can be made with an Instant Pot, I think I need to get one pretty quickly! I mainly think of Instant Pots for cooking savoury dishes I hadn't thought of using them for custards and sweet dishes...have pinned for later 🙂

        Yes!!! Isn't the Instant Pot the best? It can totally be something else as long as it fit in the IP. Most of the things I use are not Instant Pot brand, they're other brands but just happen to fit perfectly inside the IP.
