The Best Instant Pot Dip Recipes For The Super Bowl

Spinach and artichoke, black bean, queso and Buffalo chicken dips benefit from the "keep warm" setting that maintains the perfect temperature for the whole game.

The Instant Pot (or any equivalent brand of multicooker) is often revered for its pressure cooker setting, which gives the ability to cook near the speed of sound. But don’t forget about two features that can become our best friend during any good Super Bowl party ― the slow cooker and the “keep warm” setting.

If you’ve ever baked a dish of spinach-artichoke dip in the oven and set it out on the table to serve at a party, you know how quickly a hot dip can turn cold. But if you make it in an Instant Pot, you can leave it right inside the insert on the “keep warm” setting to maintain the perfect temperature during the entire game.

Below, check out our favorite Instant Pot dips that hit all the Super Bowl flavors you’re looking for. There’s black bean dip, spinach and artichoke chip, queso, Buffalo chicken dip, caramelized onion dip and more.

Before You Go

Accessories You Need For Your Instant Pot
Blue and red sealing rings(01 of14)
Open Image Modal
You're certainly well aware of the Instant Pot funk that eventually permeates your multicooker's gasket (aka the sealing ring). There are a few different cleaning methods you can use to remove the odor, but none of them work all that well. With these two colored options, you can assign one to savory dishes (think meats and stews) and another to cheesecakes (which you don't want infused with the scent of said meats or stews).

(Pro tip: You're supposed to store your IP with the gasket removed, to encourage air flow and discourage the growth of mildew and other nasty things.)

Get the two-pack from Amazon for $11.95 (fits the 6-quart model).

This brilliant gadget will fit in both the 6- and 8-quart versions.
