## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice, durable stainless steel steamer basket set for 6 qt Instant Pots.
  

*by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on 20 September 2024*

When I ordered our Instant Pot, I decided to add these steamer baskets. A wise choice that does a great job of working with the Instant Pot to pressure steam vegetables; they come out full flavored and delicious. While we bought the two-basket set, one would probably have been enough. The baskets are well made and will be a durable addition to your kitchen battery.
