What is the Instant Pot Liner made of?
There are two types of Instant Pot Inner Pots. Your instant pot likely came with a stainless steel inner cooking pot, but you can also purchase a ceramic coated non stick inner pot like the ones below. All instant pot liners listed in this article are dishwasher safe and BPA free.
What are Slow Cooker Liners?
A slow cooker liner or crock pot liner is a plastic liner a lot like a large plastic freezer bag or those bags you can cook a turkey in to keep the moisture in. They are a one time use liner that you use in your slow cooker and throw away after the meal is complete. See an example here: Slow Cooker Liners. Since slow cookers cook food at low temperatures for a long period of time it is safe to use plastic liners for slow cooking.

My Favorite Instant Pots
My two instant pots are both the traditional 8 quart instant pot. I love this instant pot, and quite honestly for the average family it is all you need. My husband and I both work at home and these pots get used daily, but there are other larger models or combo models that combine the pressure cooking function with the air fry functions. I also love my air fryer but I prefer to keep them seperate. That said. I have not tried teh combo models, so maybe I'll change my mind some day.
That all said, these two instant pots are so cute that they are hard to resist. If you are looking for a gift for someone who loves the instant pot or who doesn't have one and you know they will love it then splurge on one of these. They are only a few more doallars than the original instant pot and they add such a cute accent to your kitchen:
