The gift of Instant Pot ACCESSORIES! **COOK ALL THE THINGS**

Did you get yourself an Instant Pot for Christmas?  Or, maybe you know some secret someone got one for you?  Check out some of these Instant Pot accessories I highly recommend!

INSTANT POT GOODIES from Amazon! 
If you need some Instant Pot accessories this list might interest you, as I often get asked "what accessories do you recommend", so I'll list a few of my favorites below.


-The dimensions of the 3qt inner pot are 7″ wide by 4.75″ high
so you can use accessories that are about 6” in diameter.


The dimensions of the 5qt inner pot are 8.66″ wide by 5.5″ high
so you can use accessories that are about 7″ in diameter.


-The dimensions of the 6qt inner pot are 8.66″ wide by 6.3″ high
so you can use accessories that are about 7″ in diameter.


-The dimensions of the 8qt inner pot are 9.45″ wide by 6.89″ high
so you can use accessories that are about 8″ in diameter.


-Tempered lid for  (perfect for making yogurt!)

-Silicone lid If you ever plan on making yogurt (and I guarantee you at some point you likely will!) you NEED this for when you put your pot in the fridge to sit for 8-12 hours.  

-Extra Sealing rings for  I use the Red for spicy/heavy spiced foods like a roast, the chili lime chicken and such.  I use the white for things like egg bites, and the red for sweeter/more savory foods.

-Stainless Steel inner cooking pot  Initially I balked at the idea of "needing" two of these.  But then one day when I was making potatoes, veggies and cooking my meat, I realized how much faster I could have gotten it all done if I could have had the veggies all ready to go in the pot the minute the meat was done (meat was too large to do pot in pot).  Instead I had transfer the meat, soak the pot for a few minutes, wash it, dry it, and THEN I could get on with my cooking.  Yeah, this is a 'first world problems' thing, but if you can swing it, I HIGHLY recommend 2 pots.

-Stackable Steamer Pans This is what I use for the pot in pot to cook meat and veggies, or meat and potatoes together.

-Egg Steamer Rack  I use this for making hard boiled eggs, as well as to stack the silicone trays for when I make Egg bites.

-Beer can chicken holder  I cooked a whole chicken in my Instant Pot without this.  Then I went and purchased it.  Enough said!

-Instant Pot travel bag I absolute love this bag and have a review with photos on it here

-Egg Bite Molds Make the PERFECT egg bites with these!

-Springform pan Think CHEESECAKE!

-Instant Pot Mini Mitts These are great for gripping the inner pot, especially when you've got a REALLY FULL pot!

-Instant Pot steamer set  perfect for washing and steaming!

-Pressure Cooker cover If you have an Instant Pot that "lives" on the counter, check out this cute little cover up!

-Silicone baking cups I use these for making EXTRA LARGE egg bites (for the baby, obviously- have you seen him!!!! 😆

-Barkeepers friend  I know, I know, this one might throw you off a bit, but I PROMISE me you will be so thankful you have this on hand for the time you have some baked on food on the bottom of your inner pot!

-Ramekins are great for single serve desserts and mini cassaroles!

-Instant Pot Sous Vide Immersion Circulator for that TENDER meat!


-Instant Pot Springfoam Loaf pan Perfect for Meatloaf!


-Foam Brushes to clean the inner part of the rim of the pot

Instant Pot Egg Bites!

These are my FAVORITE Egg Bite  molds and they are quite useful and make many delicious things in my instant pot!!  I have utilized these to make egg bites, and mini brownies (I have serious lack of self control when it comes to sweets, so these molds are PERFECT!!!).  These molds fit in both the 6qt and the 8qt .  8qt instant pot 6qt instant pot Egg bites CAN be frozen and re-heated!   I usually make 4 molds worth of egg bites and freeze 2 of the 4.  If I remember (ha!!!) I try and pull them out the night before to defrost a bit in the fridge.  If I don't, 2-3 minutes on defrost is all I need to warm them up.  If they are completely defrosted, I usually do 45 seconds in the microwave. HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE DELICIOUS EGG BITES YOU ASK?? Ingredients:  12 eggs beaten 1 package bacon, cut and cooked on stove Green onion Shredded Cheese Directions: 1. Add 1-2 cups of water to your Instant pot 2. Fill mold...

BABY PROOFING- Don’t forget the furniture!

  BABYPROOFING We hear about baby proofing all the time, and when we talk about it most people's minds go to the most common items such as oven doors ,  outlets , Stove handles , cabinets , doors and even toilets .   Unfortunately, a commonly overlooked babyproofing item is furniture…YES, furniture! I am a facts and data kind of person, so I want to discuss the statistics first to help illustrate why this is such an important step in babyproofing. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) February 2022 Tip-Over Injuries report, there were an annual average of 22,500 emergency department treated injuries between 2018-2022, and 581 fatalities between 2000 and 2020.   Of those 22,500 injuries 10,000 were from children under 18 years old and of the 581 fatalities 472 were children under 18.   A few tools and a safety strap under $8 can save your child’s life. ( 2020 Tip-Over Report (cpsc.gov) ) Back in 2009 I had a close encounter with what...
