Steamer Basket for Instant Pot, Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer Basket Insert for Pots (3qt)

Perfect size and good depth.

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.

Perfect!

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.

Like this basket, fits perfectly.

Love it. Quality product repeatedly used in my small instapot and other pots. Perfect fit. (I removed the red silicon sheathing on the handle. My personal preference. It’s a nice touch.)

i used it a lot for cooking beans.

gorgeous. beautiful. use it primarily as a prep colander. well worth it. how do they do this?
