This Lid Fits on the Inner Pot and Makes Your Instant Pot SO Much More Versatile!

This lid is *wonderful*, and the perfect accessory to the Instant Pot! It fits *on the inner pot*, *not* on the outer shell, and basically allows you to do slow cooking and sauteing and steaming without using the outer 'main' lid, and so that you can see what is going on in there. As others have said, it also allows you to use the inner pot to store the food in the refrigerator once it's cooked, because, again, this clear lid fits on the inner pot. While you can't use the lid while pressure cooking, you can use it to cover and store the inner pot with the food you've pressure-cooked once finished. I agree that it would be awesome if it were included with the Instant Pot, but it is a well-worth-it add-on! If I were going to give the Instant Pot as a gift (and I suspect that some of my family members may have Instant Pots in their future ;~) ) I would absolutely include this lid with the gift.

Instant Pot Essential

Lately when I make soup, I've been using the Instant Pot saute function for the veggies before adding broth. It really gets in the air so I vent the stove top and open a window. I've been wanting the glass lid for a while and it's not a bad price. We we set it on the pot to see how it fits and at first it seemed loose. We were wondering how well it would actually work. Well, I gave it a go the other night. No need to open a window because the lid really kept everything contained nicely! I was very impressed. In fact, I almost forget I was even sauteing because the lid cut out all the sounds of the food sizzling! It really seemed stable and locked on during use. If you use the saute function on the Instant Pot, definitely get this lid. This and a stainless steel basket for steaming are essential.

Good lid, I like it for popcorn in the IP.

Love my Instant Pot and needed this for the eventual slow cooked meal in it, but mainly got it because I wanted to have necessary accessories ready when I needed them. I've only used it the couple times I made popcorn so far, but it worked great for that because I think the little hole for steam venting helped the texture from getting mushy while it was finishing popping. This lid might not be necessary if you rarely use it as a slow cooker or have another pot lid that fits.

Adds a whole new dimension of functionality to an already very useful tool.

Fits the Instant Pot as advertised and opens up new functionality with that pot- e.g., slow cook simmering and sweating of vegetables prior to adding other ingredients to finish a recipe, etc. As I see it, the locking pressure cooking lid works well if your cooking experience is limited or if you're in a hurry, you hit a button, close the lid and assume it's doing the right thing. When you want to cook more conventionally though, as if you were cooking on a stovetop but with very precise and consistent heat control- sauteing and browning ingredients or sweating vegetables prior to adding liquids or meat and proceeding with the pressure cooking part of a recipe, or if you want to slow cook something without the intense heat and pressure blast of the pressure cooking functionality, this lid opens up a lot of that functionality. I use this to make marinara and bolognese among a lot of other things. To be able to very consistently keep the sauces at a barely perceptible simmer all day long as needed, allows the tomatoes and/ or meat to slowly break down to develop a good consistency but keeps the tomatoes from getting bitter, as happens if you cook too quickly or on too high a heat, and you can remove the lid to stir and check consistency and flavor easily, something you can't do with a pressure cooker. The stainless liner in the Instant Pot is a big part of that as well. I've spent my life cooking on gas as a professional Chef, I really appreciate the consistent heat that I can get using this device when I cook at home and again, this lid opens up a whole new world of functionality beyond merely cooking under pressure. The "simmer" and "saute" buttons, with the 3 intensity levels for each are very, very usable controls. Simmer on the lowest setting will bubble a sauce or "bone broth" almost imperceptibly with the lid on, and saute on the highest setting will rapidly and vigorously boil a sauce (or wine, etc) to quickly reduce, and you have 4 levels between those two to use as well. Lid on, lid off, lid ajar adds even more flexibility. You can do all of that with a conventional pot on a stove, but not with this kind of predictability and temperature control.

A MUST HAVE accessory for your Instant Pot!

Perfect transparent lid for my IP. I can put the lid on the pot and place it all right in the fridge. Must have for slow cook or sauté mode. Good quality glass and I'm very pleased.

LOVE IT!

I use this when using my IP DUO 7 in 1 as a slow cooker or pot, not as a pressure cooker. Very convenient, and fits nicely! UPDATE *** For Reviewers who advise the glass lid does not work in "Slow Cook" mode, I say: please consider the model you own, and READ your User Manual. My User Manual is for Models: IP-DUO50 and IPDUO60, copyright 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 Instant Pot Company. On page 14, under the section entitled "Slow Cooking", item number one (1), it states: "Follow steps in the "Cooking Preparation" section of this manual. The steam release handle can be at either "Venting" or "Sealing" positions. An optional glass lid can also be used." I've used the glass lid when using it in "Slow Cooking" mode, and have not had a problem. I own the IP DUO60 7 in 1 model, have used it regularly since 01/2014, and have not had a problem with my food not cooking when I use the glass lid in "Slow Cooker" mode.

Makes my pressure cooker a real slow cooker!

Oh my gosh!!! My Instant Pot electric pressure cooker now really feels like a slow cooker!! I love the it that I can see inside the slow cooking process now. It fits my 6qt Instant Pot perfectly! It has a small vent, so condensation doesn't overflow and jiggle the top, like my old slow cooker had. VERY well made!

Instant Pot Glass Lid - Can't live without it!

I'm so glad I ordered the glass lid for my Instant Pot. This is made by the Instant Pot company, and it fits perfectly. It was packaged well when it arrived - wrapped in plastic, padded by styrofoam, and inside its own box - then placed in an Amazon box. It is versatile because I can use it on other pans, if I need to, as it fits several of my other pots and pans. Using this lid allows you to use your Instant Pot like a slow cooker, and you can see what you are cooking. Everyone who has an Instant Pot should have one of these.

Perfect addition to Instant Pot.

Perfect addition to my Instant Pot! Fits great right over inner pot and I can keep an eye on my dishes. I might just add that this lid should be a part of standard package.

this lid works great after the rice is done cooking and stays on ...

Since my Instant Pot gets used most often as a rice cooker, this lid works great after the rice is done cooking and stays on the counter for serving the rice, much like our old rice cooker did. We got the Instant Pot after the Teflon coating started peeling off in the rice on our old rice cooker, and found the Instant Pot as the best replacement rice cooker with a stainless steel cooking surface. It cooks white and brown rice perfectly every time in 30 minutes (10 minutes to heat up, 10 minutes to cook, and 10 minutes to cook down before releasing the pressure valve). Once the pressure is released, we swap on this glass lid, and keep the Instant Pot on the keep warm setting.
