Simply snap it in place and you can program the machine to air fry, broil, or crisp foods with up to 500 degrees of cooking power.

The Instant Pot accessory has already earned a 4.6-star rating on Amazon with reviewers praising its easy-to-use and -clean design that makes air frying simple—without having to invest in yet another bulky or expensive appliance.

Reviewers call it a “game-changer” and an “amazing pressure cooker add-on,” saying it’s ideal for making lighter donuts, chicken tenders, chicken wings, and french fries, as well as roasting veggies, baking potatoes, and much more.

“I had been comparing air fryers for a while, but couldn’t justify bringing another appliance into my 800 square-foot apartment,” one reviewer wrote. “The CrispLid fits the bill and more! So easy to store, use, and clean—I’ve used it on a number of vegetables and it threads the needle between healthy and indulgent. It fits perfectly on my six-quart Instant Pot, which may be my favorite thing about it.”

“If you are looking for an air fryer, but have limited space, this works great,” another reviewed chimed in. “So far I have made french fries, fried zucchini, brussel sprouts, fried chicken, and falafel, and they were all crispy and delicious! I love that you can watch the food as it's cooking and turn it off at any time.”
