What lid are people purchasing to fit this pot?

I've had good luck with the silicone lids from Instaextras here on Amazon. I actually just bought another one for my second IP. They're the seafoam green colored ones.

Sometimes these pots can take on flavors from what you're pressurizing/sterilizing/cooking. For example, I sterilized some rye berries in the same pot that my roommate makes her yogurt in. She could taste the rye berries in her yogurt. The solution was buying a second pot for things that flavors don't matter for.

I see the markings on the pot stop at '10', which is 2.5 quarts, I don't see how there could possibly be room left for another 3.5 quarts in this?

2 cups water - 1 cup rice I'm guessing that the 10-cup-mark informs one, both, of the maximum water level of the cooker, 20 cups, and the water level for 10 cups of rice. Instead of necessitating one to count the entire 20 cups of water, and possibly miscounting, the Max-mark is preset, as a safety measure.

What is the size for 3 q qt inner pot?

PS - the "maximum fill line" marker is placed at about 2/3rds the way up from the inside floor of the pot (about 3-1/2 inches).
