Best Instant Pot Mini 3 Quart Accessories

Let me guess? You have just bought yourself a wonderful Instant Pot 3 Quart Mini and every post that you read for instant pot accessories is based around the bigger instant pot sizes.

Well you have landed in the right place as we are going to run through the BEST instant pot duo mini 3 quart accessories to make choosing accessories for your small instant pot so much easier.

But first let me introduce you to our love for the Instant Pot Duo and other electrical pressure cookers.

We got our first Instant Pot on Black Friday 2016, before buying a few more since then and it feels like our Instant Pot has become our best friend in the kitchen.

The day our first Instant Pot arrived it was our daughter Sofia’s 2nd birthday. We had to wait until the next day to do our Instant Pot Water Test and we were full of excitement over the latest kitchen gadget craze.

We fell head over heels in love and the Instant Pot soon joined our Air Fryer, in a prime position in the kitchen with a plan to be used each and every day.

We even took ourInstant Pot across Europe with us in a camping tent in the summer of 2018 and usedit as our main cooking device. It cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner as well aswarming up our sons baby milk.

If you have not got yourself an instant pot yet, then we highly recommend the instant pot duo, especially the instant pot mini, which is perfect for the smaller household.

These are our favourites for all sizes and types of electric pressure cookers, accessories we can’t live without, but accessories we have gone with that fit in the instant pot mini.

This is very important as not every instant pot accessory fitinto the smaller mini and I have had many emails from subscribers asking for aninstant pot accessories list catered towards the instant pot mini.

#1 CookingWith Your Instant Pot Mini

Why this is the perfect instant pot accessoryfor the mini?

Can I say now, that CookingWith Your Instant Pot Mini is the first Instant Pot Cookbookthat I liked? It is amazing and perfect for the smaller household. You couldeasily double the recipes for the 6 quart or just follow them as they are forthe mini.

#2 The InstantPot Mini 3 Quart Accessories Pack

Why this is the perfect instant pot accessoryfor the mini?

I recommend choosing an instant pot accessoriespack as it takes the hassle away. Don’t you hate it when you spend hours onlineshopping for a bunch of things, when you could click the mouse and get everythingtogether for a cheap price?

Well that is what happens with this incredibleinstant pot mini accessories pack.

Though the negative to this, is that you oftenend up with instant pot accessories that you don’t need.

For example, I rarely use my silicone mitts,the recipe books included are often not very good and let’s face it, we all ownkitchen tongs already!

But overall, this is the best option and youcould scroll past a lot of the mini accessories below and just get this. Itincludes:

#3 The UltimateInstant Pot Mini 3 Quart Accessories Pack

Or just like buying an instant pot, you can alsobuy an accessories pack, in both small and large.

The instant pot accessories pack above for themini carries most of the basics, but this bigger one also includes:

This of course saves you buying #4 below and it down topersonal choice. I would recommend comparing prices at the time of yourpurchase to see which offers you the best value for money.

#4 SpareInstant Pot Sealing Rings

Why this is the perfect instant pot accessoryfor the mini?

The thing about sealing rings for the instantpot, is that you never know when you are going to need it replacing. It is likespinning the wheel of fortune.

It can be perfect one day and then gone thenext!

I chose not to have a spare, then it neededreplacing while travelling through the Black Forest in Germany. Talk about terribletiming!!! But I was able (thanks to Amazon) get a replacement waiting for me atthe next campsite.

#5 SpareInstant Pot Mini Inner Pot

Why this is the perfect instant pot accessoryfor the mini?

Back in 2017 I used to roll my eyes at anyonethat had a spare inner pot for their instant pot. I used to think they werewasting money and buying instant pot accessories that they didn’t really need.

Then I was given one for free when I got my Mealthy Multipot and realised how essential they were.

If you made soup for dinner and plan to have therest for lunch, then you can place it in the fridge and then use your otherinner pot for your porridge at breakfast.

The above is the ceramic non-stick version for the 3 quarts, but you can also buy one made from stainless steel instead. My personal choice is stainless steel version. Click here for the stainless steel version.

#6 SiliconeLid For The Instant Pot Mini 3 Quart

Why this is the perfect instant pot accessoryfor the mini?

Carrying on the conversation about the InstantPot Spare Inner Pot, there is the silicone lid.

You place the lid on top of the instant pot innerpot, and it will keep your food fresh. You can then place the food in thefridge or use it to transport the food in your mini.

Perfect for if you are attending a party andbringing your own food or taking a meal to a friend’s place. Or in our casewhen we were away camping.

#7 VegetableSteamer Basket

Why this is the perfect instant pot accessoryfor the mini?

There is a lot of steamer baskets to choosefrom for the instant pot and this is my favourite. I have tried lots of themand there have been some that I have HATED.

With more than 6 steamers in my kitchencupboard for the instant pot, this is the one I get out of the cupboard eachtime I cook.

It also features in my best steamer baskets review.

What is wonderful about it, is that it expandsdepending on your space. Making it perfect for the instant pot mini.

Though my kids think it is their new kitchentoy and are always pushing it in and out!!!

#8 4 HoleSilicone Egg Mould

Why this is the perfect instant pot accessoryfor the mini?

When I got into cooking in the Instant Pot, an egg mould was top of my list. Not only do they work for making starbucks style egg bites, such as our instant pot egg bites without cottage cheese, but they are perfect for desserts, no peel hard boiled eggs and a HUGE amount of other recipes.

Trust me when I say, that this instant pot accessoryis a must have!

This wonderful version just has 4 holes insteadof 7 making it perfect for instant pot mini users.

#9 InstantPot Ramekins

Why this is the perfect instant pot accessoryfor the mini?

My ramekins feature in both my Instant Pot MiniAccessories Guide and my original Instant Pot Accessories because they areperfect for all sizes of instant pot pressure cookers and are ESSENTIAL.

There are so many recipes you can use them for, and you could even use them for baking eggs or making crème brulee. I also use them in my air fryer for an alternative to omelettes and I use them so much they are always on the go.

To use them in the mini you can place them on thetrivet, with four at a time and cook away.
