Best pressure cooker parts according to redditors

You used cold eggs?

I let them come to room temp in a tap water bath before putting them in & usually make 18 at a time with my OXO racks.

Here's what I personally use:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FUUQJW - Extra sealing ring to use when you make sweet things to avoid transferring any smelly savoryness from the other ring.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XKPBT1Z/ - Steaming basket, of course.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KHHFCKS/ - A 7" springform pan to make Cheesecake #17 in. (If you only get one thing, this is the one. Because cheesecake.)

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FUJ2LK/ - Tempered glass lid for slow cooking and/or letting people peer into the pot in awe while food is being kept warm.

And if you just want to buy fun things, the mini mitts are nice for getting the cheesecake out right away: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B012D33BD4 And not catching on fire when you want to remove the inner pot or hold it in place while you saute.

I also bought these stackable pans the other day (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M130JJL/) but so far all I've used them for was a dual meatloaf. I like them but I can't really think of a lot of uses for them at the moment.

I know this isn't what you asked but I bought these to avoid that issue - https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Instant-Pot-Sealing-Ring/dp/B01LFFN36Q/

I am from India and currently live in Canada and own a couple of "whistle" pressure cookers. A few things to keep in mind are that there is a rubber ring that seals the inside of the pressure cooker. These tend to dry/crack/break over time. The only maintenance that I have needed to do is change these and they can be hard to find. I generally buy a few of these rings along with the pressure cooker in case the original manufacturer stops making that product or something.

If you are thinking of buying one, try to get a slightly larger one than you need with a steamer basket and an internal rack. This allows you to do more things with the pressure cooker.

Another thing to keep in mind is that most places in India cook over direct flame ie natural gas burner whereas we cook on the heating element here in Canada. This constrains the shape of the bottom. Preferably something that is flat. Round bottom ones are great as a replacement for something called a "Handi" which is a traditional kind of rounded pot, used for keeping a high pressure and a low heat, generally used to make Biryanis and Kormas etc. I currently own one that is rounded on the sides and has a flat bottom. It fits the rack and steamer I mentioned before and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. My tongue, tummy and wallet thank me for buying this almost every day. :)

This is what mine looks like if anyone is interested.

There's an add on you can buy called Crisplid. Goes right on top of the pot and you can brown it right there. About $50 through amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Mealthy-CrispLid-Pressure-Cooker-Silicone/dp/B07RZDFVQV/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=crisplid+for+instant+pot&pd_rd_r=76174761-b2d6-45dd-ac04-b91887f6dccc&pd_rd_w=BjiCz&pd_rd_wg=8xTsW&pf_rd_p=8c50fb3b-71cc-4f59-971a-9f0f19b41fd7&pf_rd_r=4G7XW55GK2MATV3MX7G9&qid=1565634849&s=gateway&sr=8-3

O cartaz aqui oferece bons conselhos. Você pode precisar de um anel de vedação.

Como isso:

Você também pode ter uma tampa superior com defeito. Nesse caso, você precisará de uma nova tampa que inclua isso. A unidade deve descarregar o vapor apenas um pouco antes de selar e continuar a aquecer.

Boa sorte para você.

It looks like a condensation collector from a rice cooker.

Here's a direct link!

How did you clean it? The upper section lid is dishwasher safe. I usually pull out the ring, release valve and the rectangular cover on the bottom and wash them all on the top rack. I wash the stainless pot on the lower rack. If you tried that and it still smells it's probably the ring that's absorbed the smell. You can order another ring off Amazon pretty cheap.

I know it's not the same, but they do make a air fryer that fits on top of the instant pot. To help on space.

Does anyone have the airfryer conversion lid that you can put on the regular instant pot pot? If you do, does it work well?

sticking has never been a problem for me.. even when I brown stuff... half the time the recipe calls for deglazing anyway so you have to scrape the bits before you add the rest of the ingredients.

​

IMO - non stick doesn't brown meat "correctly" bacon in a non stick skillet is weird.

​

and what is the nonstick coating anyway?

this doesn't sound good..

>I purchased a Power Cooker with the teflon pot which started flaking off rather quickly. I then purchased a stainless steel inner pot thru Amazon & love it! It has made a huge difference in the outcome! Just be sure that you measure carefully the height of the current inner pot, as there can be a slight difference. The one I got for mine was right for mine but just a hair too tall for my neighbor's IP, but by carefully checking the descriptions, I was able to find her the right size for her IP. Hope this helps, even tho this is several months later than your question.

​

IPs official nonstick liner is ceramic..... sounds similar to scanpan's.. I have one of their pans.. their coating is bulletproof..

https://www.scanpan.com/

​

If I was to go that route.. I'd get the ceramic nonstick.

I have the same issue. Found this on amazon, just ordered one.

My go to for getting stubborn smells out is to steam a couple cups of white vinegar in the IP for a few minutes, disassemble the lid, and then run the pot, lid, and ring through the dishwasher.

I did buy two extra rings to keep on hand (and because I like the colors).

Here are my faves.

Silicone lid

Stackable egg trivets

Veggie Steamer

Extra sealing rings

Fat Daddio Cake Pan

I think my absolute fave is the Fat Daddio pan. It's the perfect size for cooking pot-in-pot. I mostly use it for rice and the rice never sticks at all.

I use this when I am not browning meat.

https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Instant-Pot-Non-Stick-Interior/dp/B00ICL8M1I

These already exists as an regular product on amazon

Seriously? No. Steam Diverter Insta Pot Accessories

The sealing ring and other parts are still available for that canner, the sealing ring is only $9 at that site, it's also available at Amazon. I'd try a new sealing ring before shelling out the bug bucks for a whole new canner. :)

This is literally why I bought my Instant Pot. PERFECT hard-boiled eggs every time. Invariably, I would forget that I had them on the stove, forget to set a timer, forget to be paying attention for when the water started to boil ...

Also, this has brought me joy.

(Last night I used it to cook a pork shoulder, and that also brought me much joy. Recipe here.)

THIS looks like the gasket and overpressure plug for yours.

>Fits Presto Pressure Canner models: 01/CA16A, 01/CA16H, 01/CA21A, 01/CA21H, 21, 21AV, 21B, 21S, 7, 7AV, 7B, 7S, CA16, CA16H, CA21, CA21H


However, I've seen photos where a 21b doesn't have a plug, it has some sort of other contraption that I'm sure involves a spring. I don't know which one you have.

There's a nice write-up on refurbing a 21b here: http://cookingwithjim.com/presto-21-b-canner-refurbishment/

Yeah, I had dumped all of my other appliances after mastering the Instant Pot (rice cooker, slow cookers, egg cooker gadget that actually worked great, etc.). Eggs are still amazing in the IP (the shells peel off sooooo easily!) & rice comes out great, but it doesn't hold rice very well without drying it out & making it a bit crusty. Plus the rice sticks like CRAZY to the metal pot...I ended up springing for their new non-stick inner pot:

• https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICL8M1I
  
  It does a better, but not a perfect, job - as long as I take the rice out right away & clean the bowl immediately, it's pretty good, but I miss my Tiger rice cooker, haha. But I used to use that fuzzy-logic rice cooker to hold rice all day & let my roommates & later my family graze on leftover & rice for lunch, dinner, and snacks, so it was nice to always have it available - but I do meal-prep now, so the IP is functional for that, at least!
  
  Plus I don't usually like bringing my IP places - I'd rather bring my cheap crockpots & not risk dropping or damaging my Instant Pots lol. Sometimes I'll cook up a batch of food in the IP & transfer it to a crockpot for the stay-warm function.

This is the one I went with. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GDXT3O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love my Instant Pot. It's also a life saver in a small kitchen because it does so much stuff. I use mine as a vegetable steamer, but it's a little tricky because you need to make sure you take stuff out really fast.

This fits in an Instant Pot for steaming, if anyone cares:

Buy this and it's easy.

Yup! This specific item works with 6 & 8 qt electric pressure cookers, and is best used after a pressure cook.

Yes it contains Phytoestrogens, i didn't document my hormone level though so i don't know if it's affecting my test/estrogen level.

No gyno or manboobs so far. In asia, soy is considered as healthy food. It's advertised to combat breast cancer, healthy skin, etc. They even sell phytoestrogens as vitamins.

At first i start making the smoothies with black bean + soy milk powder. Then blackbean + soybean. Now, only soybean because the protein content is higher and cheaper too.

Just soak the soybean at least 6 hour -> rinse it -> then i steam them in pressure cooker using tools similar to this. I think you could boil the soybean and get similar result.

>Anywayd, can you actually cook 1 week ahead? (My freezer is pretty small, will a refrigerator work?

Yes it will not spoiled, i store them in the refrigerator, not freezer. 1-2 weeks should be okay, i sprinkle mine with a little bit of salt for iodine and help to prevent bad bacteria to grow (maybe).

I'm showing deals that are the historically lowest price (or very close to the lowest) it has been on Amazon, using the site camelcamelcamel.

Also can recommend Fat Daddio push bottom pan for cheesecake.

Instant Pot(IP) with dump pot meals:

https://instantpot3.wordpress.com/2016/08/09/one-pot-meals/

Fast, almost impossible to burn. It just keeps warm once finished. Minimal cleanup.

Focus on cook from frozen IP meals. Get one or more extra inner pots so you can wash one while cooking in the other.

You can even add this:

for air frying

From Amazon.com, will ship once restocked.

They're three dollars more: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Instant-Pot-Sealing-Ring/dp/B01LFFN36Q

Worth it because you know they'll work. Mine have.

Aha! Well the one you need depends on the size of your IP. I have a 6qt so I got this one. I kept burning all my pasta sauces. This pot fixed that (although preheating also helps a lot).

Might be. Eventually I'm going to do a true test of this, I just haven't had time yet because we're in the middle of moving.

Here's the bowl I got, if you want to try it, too: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICL8M1I

Today (2/23/17) The ceramic inner pot is at the lowest price it's ever been.

Why a radiator cap? I wouldn't think you'd need pressure relief unless you're doing something really crazy to power the water out. Most just use a bike pump and some regular ABS fittings, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NodTvFcK0Mc

And you can buy low pressure relief valves with standard pipe fittings, like these at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Control-Devices-Non-Code-Adjustable-Pressure/dp/B007GDXT3O/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_328_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BMYQPGS9H0XS6WN8V3QX

Otherwise, if you've say got the cap already, why not just buy a radiator neck? your auto parts place probably has them. Rather more of a pain to fit into ABS I suspect, but with enough glue anything is possible.

Seems like a lot of work, but a fun project.

I don't know what the purpose of an s30 valve is (maybe its a UK thing given the terminology used) but would a spunding valve fill the same task?

Mine was cheap to build off of this valve with a new weaker spring:

Some sealing rings and a ceramic bowl are 20% off on amazon

haven't needed to buy a second liner yet but i did buy these items:
http://amzn.to/2jatjNU (higher trivet)
http://amzn.to/2jtqOag (out of stock, there is more expensive one on amazon, you have to snap the handles off it to fit the pot though- you need 8 inch)
http://amzn.to/2jtzj5t - extra silicone ring - I keep one for oniony foods and one for less savoury foods. You can get the onion smell out or most of it out by putting 1 1/2 cups white vinegar and lemon peels in the instant pot and let it steam for 5 minutes.
8 inch heavy duty steel mixing bowl.

Why not be whimsical? I told my wife the other day I was thinking of getting a steam diverter for our Instant Pot that looks like a dragon's head. Our daughter is 10 but she doesn't use the IP and is rarely in the kitchen when I'm using it. ;-)

No sorry!
I bought them from here

Since buying my nonstick pot, I haven't used the stainless one once.
