Goldlion Dehydrator Rack Compatible with Instant Pot 6 Quart Stainless Steel Stand Accessories for Air Fryer Crisp Lid

I don’t use this as a dehydrator. I have an air fryer lid that fits my 6 quart instant pot. This handy multi shelf insert fits the instant pot as well and is perfect for elevating foods to air fry. No turning required. It collapses and all pieces fit in a gallon zipper bag for storage. I like that the item is dishwasher safe. Very useful.

I recently purchased the Goldlion Dehydrator Rack for my Instant Pot Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid, and I’m thrilled with it! This stainless steel rack fits perfectly in my 6-quart Instant Pot, making it an ideal accessory for dehydrating, air frying, and even baking. The five stackable layers provide plenty of space to dehydrate fruits, veggies, and meats, allowing me to make healthy snacks like apple chips and jerky with ease. The build quality is top-notch, with food-grade 304 stainless steel that feels sturdy and is super easy to clean—dishwasher safe is a big win! I’ve also used it for air frying small batches of burgers and bacon (cut in half), and it works like a charm. The rack’s design maximizes space in my Instant Pot, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their cooking experience with the Duo Crisp Ultimate Lid. Fantastic product, great value!

I ordered this to make jerky in my instant pot. This was really easy to put together, and the perfect size. The price was spot-on, and the material makes it easy to clean. It’s going to be the perfect tool for any dehydrating that I do— unmatched versatility. The build quality is solid; I definitely do not think this will fall apart.

When I looked at this rack, I thought it would be very useful for air frying as I can air fry many things in layers on the rack. But it doesn't really work well due to following problems:1. Even if I use three layers on the rack, I will have to remove the hot rack to turn food on it.2. Turning food on the rack is hard as it's small space between layers even when I use only 3 out of 5 layers. By the time I turn all the food, the air fryer times out.3. The food at the top rack cooks faster than bottom rack. You will have to remove the top rack food before else it will burn out.All in all though it feels like a good idea, it doesn't work in the Instant pot 6 cup air fryer well.The product itself is well made and of good quality. Just don't use it for air frying.

I bought this as an air frying rack too for the instant pot as the one that is supplied is useless, the food always sticks to it. This rack however is great, it gives you more options for stacking more food into the pot and because of the mesh design you get good airflow without the need to rotate the food half way like you would have to with the original instant pot rack. After cooking, I leave them in the sink to soak straight away then they are super easy to clean off later. I know that it's intended to be for dehydrating food, but it has multiple uses and would recommend. Have been using it a lot for just over a month now and seems to be going strong.

Update:Looks like I'll have to keep looking. My significant other, who has pretty much no strong feelings about much of anything, has expressed EXTREME displeasure when it comes to cleaning the racks after use. I love using them, but he hates cleaning them, since food sticks to the mesh like crazy, and neither nonstick spray or soaking them seems to help. They're the perfect size, but since they are a pain to clean, I've had to stop using them (for the sake of my significant other's sanity). I will probably keep using them for dehydration, but not much else. Oh well - back to searching.Original reviewI've used this several times since I purchased it. My overall impression is pretty good - it is intended to be used for dehydration, which I have used it for, but mainly use it for other things, including:- frying tater tots- frying hamburgers- baking waffles (in silicone molds)And that's all just this week!The mesh wires are a bit thin (definitely don't put too much pressure on them) and kind of a pain to clean - food sticks to them pretty bad and a scrub brush and elbow grease is needed to get food off. It might be easier if you grease them, but I never remember to, so elbow grease it is. I've seen a few other brands that use the same stainless steel bars used for the frame on the rack part as well, but none seem to come in the 6qt size. I think that that type of rack would be easier to clean.The handles sre attached to the bottome rack, which is kind of awkward to clean, but it DOES make the rack more steady. Plus they fold down nicely so it takes up less space.Racks are easy to assemble and kind of lock into place, which is great for stability, but is a bit problematic if you're trying to take one rack off when it's hot (obviously food on the top cooks quicker, so you want to take it off while the rest continues to cook). I may just have to invest in a pair of silicone gloves so i can quickly and easily take individual racks off while cooking.Overall, pretty happy with what I got and will continue to use it until it gives up the ghost, or I use to much elbow grease and need to invest in a new set.

Pros:Great air circulation for even dehydratingEasy to assemble and disassembleCan remove/add tiers for your needsHandles at the top for ease of transportingCons:Slightly difficult to clean, requires a lot of soakingWobbly when moving, tiers can sometimes slide off if you're not carefulOverall I think this worked great in my Instapot, I wish it had slightly more surface area to work with but with the amount of tiers it has I didn't find it too big of an issue.

I got this to maximize the space in my instant pot (duo crisp 6qt) for air frying baking and dehydrating and it works for all of the above! I can now make whole pizzas in my instant pot just slice them before cooking them, I’ve also used it to layer fries for air frying, cat fish, brownies, etc.
