Review: Sticks Like a tick! - I have only just bought this 3Qt silicone lid; however, I like the overall quality and fit. It fit my 3Qt Dua-Mini inner pot perfectly. Before I wrote this I did two tests which I thought were important to know the results of. First, I filled my 3Qt inner cooking pot with tap water to about half full and put the lid on it. I grabbed the pot by the bottom without touching the lid at all, and shook the heck out of it. The lid did not come off. It didn't lift. It didn't leak. Nothing. That was really reassuring because it suggests it is a tight seal and, with any luck, won't come off if one accidentally drops a pot with the lid securely on. Be aware that the forces of the contents inside the pot should it be dropped will likely be much higher than shaking the heck out of it. I'll leave it to another enterprising soul to do that tests. Some things I'd rather not have to clean up after. I also had the idea to do the same test again with boiling, or at least hotter than hot tap, water; however, I decided using hot water was an invitation for a scalding burn. I don't know about you but I'd much rather walk over burning coals than get splashed by boiling water. My second test was therefore much simpler. I put about 2cups of cold water into the pot, put the pot into the InstantPot and turned on Saute. I then, before the water got hot, put the lid on. Then I waited. The lid bulged up, which I expected. However it remained tight until the water got to 180 deg F. (I have an infrared digital thermometer which I used to get the temperature. At 181 deg. F one edge popped up letting out the trapped steam vapor. Nothing else happened. No water escaped, and I seriously doubt the escaping steam would be enough to cause injury. This heating test demonstrated two important things to me. The hot water test demonstrated that the lid can withstand quite a bit of internal pressure before it loses its seal. It also demonstrated the lid likely won't come off explosively, risking boiling contents splashing onto someone near. In other words, while I do not, cannot recommend keeping the lid on while cooking using the InstantPot, I doubt anything will happen other than a quick pop up of a bit of the lid which won't do anything other than startle the unwary.
Review: It fits. What more do you need to know? - Fits perfectly and allows me to store food inside my instapot container directly in the refrigerator. I mostly use this for yogurt so that the yogurt can solidify better as it cools without having to disturb it by transferring it to a different container first.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the lid be used inside of the Instant Pot?**
A: Yes you can. I bought this and recieved it yesterday Jan 14, 2022.  I was worried. It was my first time using the insta pot. My egg bites did shove the lid off a little while cooking. But the lid did not burn or melt, not even when it was touching the side of the bowl where it had been pushed off to.  I will buy another one of these so that I can stack them. The lid does warn against use in an oven or on a stove, but it does fine in the insta pot!

**Q: Recipe for egg bites mold**
A: Eggs stick if you don't add add cooking spray. For the hassle I would rather make hardboiled eggs. Being an instant pot product I would watchyoutube. I only used them once. Hardboiled eggs about 5 minutes. Soft boiled 2 minutes then ice water for 6qt. 3 minutes for 8qt.

**Q: The yellow egg rack left marks on the bottom of my Instant Pot- how can I get it off?**
A: Because the inner pot is made of 18/10 stainless steel, it holds up very well against friction.   Based on that, use disposable "Clean Eraser" type cleaners if you want the bottom to stay smooth (make sure you rinse very thoroughly, because the stuff left behind by such "Clean Erasers" is a harmful abrasive powder that can hurt your throat and esophagus).   Personally, I don't care if the inside bottom of my pot stays totally smooth, so I clean mine with STAINLESS STEEL "steel wool" pads.  No soap, no detergent, no toxic chemicals.  I simply soak, then scrub, then rinse out.

**Q: Can the vendor tell us if the lids are truly made from silicon and whether they can be used in all cooking modes: Oven, pressure cooker and Air Fryer?**
A: These are heat resistant to 450° F (232° C), so I’m sure you could use it in the air fryer or oven up to that temp.
