Multi cookers like Instant Pots combine an electric pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker, steamer, warming pot and saute pan in one appliance. Believe it or not, though, they can do so even more with the right accessories. (Just be sure they’re compatible with your specific model!)
Say goodbye to tough sponges and tired arms from scraping hard, dried rice from stainless steel. A good non-stick inner pot slips into your multi cooker and makes scrubbing it clean a breeze. And if you want a truly spotless clean, most non-stick pots are dishwasher-safe as well.
An air fryer lid can help you prepare fries, onion rings, fried fish and chicken wings to crispy perfection in your multi cooker. It uses hot, fast-blowing air to give your pressure-cooked food the desired texture, and the lack of grease makes it easier to clean.
You can save money and even more time by picking up an all-in-one accessory kit for your multi cooker. The best ones pack in an abundance of essentials: steamer baskets and racks, silicone molds for making egg bites and baked goods and some even throw in bonus items like mitts and cooking time cheat sheets.
