Review on Upgrade Your Instant Pot With A Clear 7.6 Inch Tempered Glass Lid For Mini 3 Quart Cooking by Lauren Marley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Instant Pot accessories aren't that great

I purchased 2 Instant Pots locally on sale. Buying 2 gave me 2 of everything and most importantly an extra stainless pot for dishwasher rotation. I only cook 2 to 3 times a week. Having 2 Pots going at once with a set and forget cook pad keeps me from burning everything. (Guys do that a lot!) Also, when one breaks (and it will) I'll have spare parts for the other. I was immediately impressed by the quality of the machine. Fit and finish is world class! Immediately ordered all the Instant Pot accessories for it. What's great is that Instant Pot includes TWO screens, TWO egg holders, etc. One is high, one low. This works out perfectly for me because I have TWO Instant pots! I order one accessory and get two. One for EACH of my Instant Pots=Happy Boy:) The Instant Pot accessories I received were 1 or 2 levels below the quality of the Instant Pot itself. The 2 piece strainer is delicate with unevenly stretched out wire screen. (Think Dollar Store quality.) Egg holder broke it's delicate weld when I straightened out its crooked leg. The leg was spot welded crooked not bent during shipping. One or two of the items came in plastic bags. (No box?) The glass lid works but fits poorly. Almost 1/2 inch gap when slid side to side. Handle is on an angle because glass lid it's riveted perpendicular to is not uniform across the top. The accessories work but aren't the same quality as the Pot itself. I would compare different accessories to see which one is best. Some appear to be less expensive, too.

Pros
  • Right size for the instant pot
Cons
  • The lid may not have an airtight seal, causing food to dry out
