Review on 5 Qt/L or 6 Qt/L Instant Pot Tempered Glass Lid with Stainless Steel Rim - Enhanced for SEO by Robert Yates

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Clear Lid for Multicooker Function in Multicooker

The concept itself is great, now you can replace your multicooker's all-metal locking lid with a clear glass lid with venting, allowing you to use the Instant Pot as a multicooker. The reality is different. Due to the way the Instant Pot works (pressure cooking), it is not well suited to slow cooking and this is a known issue with the product. The heating element in the Instant Pot is entirely on the bottom, and the stainless steel "bath" in which the food is cooked does not evenly distribute heat during slow cooking. I bought this lid for slow cooking. After 11 hours of slow cooking, my beans (for the bean soup) were hard and inedible. At high pressure, the same beans can easily cook in about 40 minutes! So the verdict (for me) is to return this item to Revain.
