It's not a stretch to say that Instant Pot started a movement. Its famed multicooker has inspired cookbooks, fan pages, and countless one-pot recipes thanks to its versatility and speed. And while the Instant Pot works as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, and warmer, this specially designed lid adds six more functions to the appliance.

With the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid, home cooks can air fry, roast, bake, broil, reheat, and dehydrate foods with a push of a button. It has an adjustable temperature range from 105 degrees to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as the ability to save up to six preset recipes, like ribs or cheesecake. The lid also is built with overheating protection, automatically shutting off if temperatures get too high.

The gadget fits most 6-quart Instant Pots, including the Duo, Duo Nova, Ultra, and Lux, and comes with a multi-level air fryer basket, dehydrating and broiling tray, and a cover that doubles as a trivet. The accessories are even dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

Just like the original Instant Pot, the Air Fryer Lid has thousands of perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers. Reviewers say the tool easily attaches to their multicookers and has expanded their cooking repertoire.

"I have cooked all sorts of things such as salmon, regular and fried chicken, a whole chicken, pork chops, French fries, potatoes fries, and reheated other items [with] the Air fryer setting only, nothing else," a user wrote. "It works like a charm and my food has turned out great. Matter of fact, I have used it every single day since it has arrived."

Others add that it's an excellent choice for anyone with a small kitchen, since it doesn't take up as much space as a separate appliance. One said, "Limited real estate on the counter ultimately convinced me to try this lid. One more reason to love LOVE my Instant Pot."
