Original Salbree Steamer Basket for 3 qt quart Instant Pot Accessories, Stainless Steel Strainer and Insert fits IP Insta Pots, Instapot, Other Pressure Cookers, with Silicone Handle [6qt 8qt avail]

I bought this basket primarily for my 8-quart Instant Pot, but can also use it in my 10-quart pressure cooker that is a different brand. It fits my 8-quart IP perfectly. If the handle seems loose, it can be tightened by taking it off the basket, stretching it a bit, and putting it back on the basket. After this it will stay tight. I have never put this basket into the dishwasher, and clean it with warm soapy water and a brush. So far, cleaning has been a breeze, and I have seen no signs of rust. Something else that I like about this steamer basket is that it can also be used as a strainer to rinse beans and to wash and drain fresh veggies. It has many more uses than just as a steamer in a pressure cooker. UPDATE 06/08/19: I have had this steamer basket for over a year, and, so far, there is absolutely no rust on it. It is the largest of my steamer baskets and fits my 8 qt. pressure cookers perfectly. Since I already have a few strainers of different sizes, and this is the largest of the baskets I have, I have been using this steamer basket primarily for steaming in an 8 quart Foodi.. Since I grow mushrooms and steam them for freezing, I have been using this steamer basket multiple times daily. It has become the only steamer basket that I use and, judging from my experience with it, would recommend it. UPDATE 02/01/20: I have had this steamer basket for over 18 months, and still no rust even though I use it in my pressure cooker at least twice a week to steam veggies that I grow indoors for my family. Since this basket uses most of the space available in the pressure cooker, I can steam large batches of veggies that I package for freezing. The advantage of steaming vs. blanching in water is that vitamins are retained in the foods, and you don't lose any of the vitamin content in the water. I used to saute my veggie greens with onions and garlic, and found that many of them developed a bitter aftertaste. Since I started steaming them, they have not had the bitter taste that previously had to be covered up with flavorings. To be honest, when I was sauteing my greens, I never tasted the onions and garlic anyway. By steaming the greens in the pressure cooker, and leaving out the onions and garlic, I save a lot of chopping time, and I don't have to babysit the greens as they wilt. I also save the cost of the garlic and onions I was using. All around a big plus for steaming greens in the pressure cooker. In addition, steaming greens save a lot of "hands-on" time. I used to stand over the stove sauteing greens and adding a handful at a time as the greens wilted. For a large batch of greens, this often took 45 minutes or more of my time. Now, I fill this basket over the top with cut greens, and steam them in the pressure cooker for 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the leaves. When they are done, I dump them into very large strainer to cool and drain, and set up the next batch. Once they are cooled, I package them for freezing. Not only is this so much easier, but steaming retains more of the nutrients in the greens and veggies and they all taste better. UPDATE 07/09/20: I have had this steamer basket for about 2 1/2 years now, and it is used two or more times every week. To-date, it still looks like new with absolutely rust and no damage to the netting. I do wash it by hand, but it cleans up so easily this isn't a problem for me. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update it if my opinion of this steamer basket changes.

This steamer basket is perfect for my 3 qt Instant Pot; the size, the stainless steel material that is made of , the comfortable and safe handle to stay away from the hot surface and the exact depth that I was looking for that satisfied my storage capacity. I’m so glad I was able to buy such a great and perfect steamer basket. It’s well made and very economical. I highly recommend it!

The basket works and fits perfectly, very sturdy. Easily stores in the instant pot when not using

Great fit, helps a lot picking up hard boiled eggs and veggies, but i believeit will be functionalfor other types of cookingin the pot. Im a novice, so I'm still exploring what I can cook using this accessory. Fits perfectly and I can lift up the basket by picking up the covered handle (I tested it for heat after releasing steam & opening the lid for about 1 minute and it was great to lift with my fingers). I suggest testing this out, but do it safely by waiting, then narrow it down from there and adopt the shortest time. Has NOT scratched my pan, but I'm not scooting it around. She's not interfere with sealing for pressure cooking or other types of cooking. Seems sturdy, not fragile. Decent weight & metal mesh is thick & strong enough & no rust so far, crossing fingers! No assembly needed.

Arrived in decent, undamage condition, but the bail handle was very difficult to release from its position inside the basket. Not sure if that was due to shipping, but I did manage to get it released and will not push it all the way in, going forward. It's a good size for me (6 quart) and I expect to use it for everything from boiling eggs, to vegetables to pasta.

Perfect fit for the 8qt instapot. It is very well made and is heavy duty and should last a lifetime with just a simple cleaning after each use. Mine is quite frequently used and shows no signs of rust indicating that a high quality of stainless steel was used during the manufacture process

Got to use it last week and it works great in the instant pot for broccoli. Well made and love the handle protector.

Great steamer. Exactly what I was looking for. This 8 qt size fits in my 6 and 12 qt pots depending on how much I want to steam.

Muy útil, queda muy bien para la Instant pot de 8 qt. Resistente y ligera, tiene aislante en la agarradera que permite poder tomarla sin quemarse. Llegó en tiempo y forma

This works better than the other two steamer racks I have.

Fits the 3qt perfect and saves me a lot of scooping time out of the small pot. I like the 4 round feet which are short enough to get down to boiling water and won't scratch the pot easily. The handle can be covered well by the Instant Pot lid. One thing people might not like could be the tips of the handle are protruding outside the basket without any protective wrapping. User might scratch their hands or tear at the sponge while they are cleaning this. However, I always use gloves to take it out and doing the dishes, so that doesn't seem to be a problem to me. Good price and very useful.

Excellent strainer

Esta canasta funciona muy bien en el instant pot.
