Question 2

where can I purchase the basket for the coooker

Accepted Answer

Your question made me take note of something in the pics that I hadn't noticed - and now I want one too.  So I did a quick web search.  You can buy the whole unit (cooker, steam plate and basket) on theshoppingchannel dot com - for 49.99 - made by Meyer. Who is Meyer?  Quick search and the website has many websites across the globe, click on the US link and the page opens up with an into to all of the companies under them.  Meyer is the mother company of Silverstone who make this MwPrCkr.  But no where on the Silverstone website (even when linked from the Mother Company - Meyer) do they have a pressure cooker (micro or not) that includes the basket. Also in the parts section there is nothing. Conclusion: The pic on amazon is a general pic taken from the MC.
