Air frying has become very popular today, offering perfectly crisped food without any of the excess, fatty oil of traditional fried foods. Your Instant Pot can be transformed into an air fryer when you purchase the Instant Pot 6-Quart Air Fryer Lid.

With the Air Fryer Lid, you can also use your six-quart Instant Pot to broil, reheat, and dehydrate foods. In a smooth black design, it is a bit heavy at almost six pounds, but that's because it's packed with features. When you replace your Instant Pot's pressure cooker lid for this air fryer lid, you now have the ability to enjoy a series of new cooking styles. In addition to air frying, you can now also roast, broil, bake, reheat, and dehydrate your food.

Because air frying demands extreme heat, this lid incorporates advanced safety features, like overheat protection and automatic shutoff. The detachable lid also means easy storage when you are all done. Your set also includes a multi-level air fryer basket, as well as a dehydrating and broiling tray. The included protective pad can be used to protect your countertops when the lid is hot, and then it can be flipped over for storage when you are done.
