Now, I have to say THIS IS PROBABLY A TERRIBLE IDEA and pressure cookers should not be played with and Im a trained professional on a closed course, and past performance is no indicator of future returns, and your mileage may vary. In other words, dont try this at home.

But, again, THIS PROBABLY VOIDS MY WARRANTY AND I AM IN NO WAY SUGGESTING THAT just because the lids are exactly the same size and designed for the same cooker base that YOU SHOULD SWAP THEM. THATS A BAD IDEA, KIDS.

Sure enough, they work fine. I kind of knew this already. A couple of times the lids got swapped in the cabinet, I didnt notice, and I ran the Ultra with the Duo Plus lid. It kind of figures that the two are interchangeable.

In my Instant Pot Ultra review, I went on and on about the fantastic auto-locking lid. Its amazing, but my frustrations with the Ultras control knob were sending me back to my trusty Instant Pot Duo.

That led several commenters to ask: why didnt I put the Ultra lid on the Duo Plus, and get the best of both worlds?

FAQ

Are Instant Pots interchangeable?

All models with inner pots that don’t have handles have the same dimensions for each size. These inner pots can be used interchangeably (Lux, Duo, Viva, Ultra, Gourmet, Nova, Duo Plus, Duo Crisp). All models with inner pots that have silicone handles also have the same dimensions per size.

Can I use Instant Pot without lid?

Can I use the Instant Pot without the lid for other cooking purposes? Yes, you can use the Instant Pot without the lid for various cooking purposes. It can be particularly useful when you want to reduce the liquid content in a dish or when you want to achieve a slightly different texture or consistency in your cooking.

When should I replace my Instant Pot?

The lifespan of your pressure cooker is going to vary based on its brand and usage. If you’re using your pressure cooker on a daily basis and investing in regular maintenance, it may last you up to five years. On average, though, most pressure cookers perform well for up to three years.

Is it safe to use Instant Pot with dent?

A: Yes, as long as the insert still fits nicely and the lid closes and seals an outside dent is just a cosmetic issue.

Does Instant Pot have a replacement lid?

Replacement lids are available on Instant Pot’s site for 3-, 6- and 8-quart Ultra, Duo, Duo-Plus, Viva, Nova Plus and Smart Bluetooth models. You can also add a tempered glass lid to your cart, which can be used in conjunction with the sauté and slow-cook programs.

What kind of lid does an Instant Pot have?

It has a passive steam vent built right into the lid, and this is often preferred for slow cooking in an Instant Pot. Silicone lids: These lids are used to promote an airtight seal and also keep your pot both spill-proof and watertight. They are made from silicone and can be used the same as other lids if you wish to.

Does Instant Pot have a pressure release switch?

In some models, like the Instant Pot Max, the steam release switch is replaced by a button. It is not removable and resets itself to the Sealed position each time you remove the lid. In other models, the pressure release switch just sits loosely on top of the lid. (Don’t worry if you notice it jiggling—totally normal!)

Do Instant Pot sealing rings need to be replaced?

Sealing rings are an important component of your Instant Pot. If they are cracked, stretched or broken, your Instant Pot will not come to pressure. The Instant Pot Sealing Rings require regular replacement and upkeep to keep your pressure cooker working properly. Instant Pot recommends replacing every 6 to 12 months.
