Having a secondary Instant Pot inner pot makes it convenient and easy when preparing multiple dishes with your Instant Pot cooker.

Review: Great replacement - I have been using an extra stainless steel inner pot for my Instant Pot for a while now, and it has genuinely changed how I cook. If you do a lot of meal prepping or enjoy cooking multiple dishes in a row, having a secondary pot is an absolute necessity. Instead of having to scrub out the pot immediately after finishing one dish, I can just swap it out, throw the dirty one in the dishwasher, and keep the cooking process moving. The quality of the stainless steel is impressive. It feels substantial, and because it has a tri-ply bottom, it provides even heat distribution that helps avoid those frustrating "burn" errors. I prefer the stainless steel over the non-stick or ceramic options because I don't have to worry about the coating flaking off over time or needing to be extra careful with my utensils.
Review: This fits a 3 Quart size perfectly! - Exactly like the original. I wanted an extra pot so I could cook 2 items back to back. I can now cook chicken and immediately cook rice, potatoes or cabbage and rutabagas in a clean pot right away to have for the same meal. Best decision ever. I highly recommend getting a second pot. In the hot summer days cooking in an instant pot keeps your kitchen from getting too warm like cooking on a stove or oven will. A microwave is good too but not everything can be cooked and come out good in a microwave. An instant pot is also much quicker and easier than cooking on a stovetop. You also don’t have to worry about things boiling over in an instant pot. Much healthier than a slow cooker. I haven’t used my slow cooker at all since getting an instant pot.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What lid are people purchasing to fit this pot?**
A: I've had good luck with the silicone lids from Instaextras here on Amazon. I actually just bought another one for my second IP. They're the seafoam green colored ones.

**Q: Why buy this pot?**
A: Sometimes these pots can take on flavors from what you're pressurizing/sterilizing/cooking. For example, I sterilized some rye berries in the same pot that my roommate makes her yogurt in. She could taste the rye berries in her yogurt. The solution was buying a second pot for things that flavors don't matter for.

**Q: I see the markings on the pot stop at '10', which is 2.5 quarts, I don't see how there could possibly be room left for another 3.5 quarts in this?**
A: 2 cups water - 1 cup rice
I'm guessing that the 10-cup-mark informs one, both, of the maximum water level of the cooker, 20 cups, and the water level for 10 cups of rice.
Instead of necessitating one to count the entire 20 cups of water, and possibly miscounting, the Max-mark is preset, as a safety measure.

**Q: What is the size for 3 q qt inner pot?**
A: PS - the "maximum fill line" marker is placed at about 2/3rds the way up from the inside floor of the pot (about 3-1/2 inches).
