7 Cup Pyrex Bowl<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 7 Cup Pyrex bowl<\/a> is so amazing do PIP cooking in the Instant Pot. If you're not familiar with PIP (Pot In Pot) cooking is, then let me help you out a little bit. There are a lot of recipes that you can make in the Instant Pot, but doesn't necessarily require you to to just throw ingredients into the Instant Pot and cook it. You'll get burn notices and it'll be a big ugly mess. Making Instant Pot Lasagna<\/a> is a really great example of PIP cooking. You place ingredients, normally layered, into the first “pot” that you're cooking in. Place a trivet into your main Instant Pot metal liner (the silver pot the comes with the machine), pour about 1 1\/2 to 2 cups of water into the metal liner, and then place in your Pyrex dish that you're cooking in. So, you're cooking a pot of food within the Instant Pot's pot. That's a mouthful lol. This is by far my most favorite Instant Pot accessory that I use SOOOOO much. This is a two pack, and totally worth the money in buying. You'll get so much use out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Instant Pot Egg Basket<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best parts that you're going to love about your Instant pot, is having this egg basket to pressure cook your eggs in<\/a>. There's lots of different variations of the steamer egg basket for pressure cookers, but I really like this one a lot. I love that this basket is stackable, so I can do more than 6 eggs at a time. I have a big family, so only being able\u00a0cook a few hard boiled eggs doesn't work well. Everybody is gonna want one, especially if they want me to cook deviled eggs, or my deviled egg potato salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
