Steamer Basket for Instant Pot, Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer Basket Insert for Pots (6qt)

I love to steam/pressure cook veggies in my 3Qt Instant Pot. Unfortunately, IP doesn't make steamer baskets in that size, so here I am. I chose this one because the one-piece construction feels a lot sturdier and easier to clean than a mesh basket, and after a month of using it several times a week, I do not regret my choice. It's very sturdy, the stainless steel is thick enough, and the whole thing is smooth. The little silicon thingy on the handle is very useful to avoid burning your hands (!). Pour 1 cup of water in the IP's inner pot, put the steamer basket over that, with your veggies inside, and just cook. Then lift if out, put it in the sink and let it drain a bit (this seems to be necessary for some veggies that retain water even if steamed). Doubles as a very nice colander, and is extremely easy to clean - nothing gets in the holes. I wash it by hand in 10s, so I can't say how well it'd do in the dishwasher. I only wish they made a shallower one so I could stack it on top of my high trivet and cook something else below.

Fits perfectly. Easy to remove and clean.

The 6-qt steamer fits perfectly inside a standard 5-qt stock pot. Slightly taller, which is a good thing for easily lifting it out of boiling water. Makes a great pasta strainer insert or for making soup.

Pretty good product. Mine came with a small dent on the side, but hardly noticeable. It was just clear as day to me cause of my ocd with things being symmetrical. Seems like others kind of have the same problem, so I do think it's a bit overpriced, but it's overall a solid product. I'm gonna keep it because it's still pretty useful. Overall the product is fairly strong and much easier to clean than the mesh ones. I got the 6 quart basket and though some may use it to steam veggies. I actually used it to blanch my meat so far. makes it easier to separate and continue preparing my food like a coriander. I'll likely use it to pressure cook meats too in my instant pot and probably air fryer too. The silicone orange cover and metal handle is easily removable and to wash. I had no problem grabbing the orange handle with my hand in a boiling pot on high, but probably wise to use tongs or something. I'd still recommend this product. The pictures are post using the item in high heat and washing as well. No discoloration or anything so far.

After searching hours for low carb cooker, finally found alternative and save money. Great fit. My cooked rice is perfect 1:1 basmati:homali.

This is so much easier to use than a regular folding steaming basket inside the instant pot. I love that it's easy to clean, and I love that it has the silicone on the handle so that it's easy to just lift out and dump into a bowl. This has streamlined my steaming of vegetables so much. I'm following the medical medium protocol, so I steam a lot of vegetables nearly every day. This thing is a godsend. I got rid of my folding steaming basket, because it was just too hard to use, and it kept falling apart. And if I ever need to use this basket in another pan other than the instant pot, it's going to come in handy for that too. I'll never go back to using the old folding steaming basket.

Great fit for my instant pot. :) wouldn’t change a thing

Came without the handle. Also felt pricy for the product received.
