The Original Steamer Basket for Pressure Cooker Accessories 8qt [3qt 6qt avail] Compatible with Instant Pot Accessories 8 qt, Ninja Foodi, Silicone Handle, Instapot 8 Quart

We have used this basket for eggs (photo; using the 5-5-5 method), to make chicken broth, to make meat/veg dishes (after a saute of meat)... very versatile! Originally saw a review of this basket from Lisa Childs video on Tried, Tested, and True Instant Pot Cooking/YouTube and started checking out baskets. Made this purchase In October & have been completely satisfied with it's performance...from cooking to clean-up! Loving our Instant Pot Duo 8 and this basket fits great & works great (silicone handle & feet are so helpful). Have also taken the Instant Pot & Basket in our RV... great decision & makes cooking small or large meals easier. Definitely recommend and will continue to check on Hartrigo brand items in the future!EDIT: Reading other reviews & saw a couple of snarky ones that indicated only good reviews were published for the chance of getting a free basket. Maybe so, but I will only ever give an honest review regardless of possibility of reward. So, two things to update, yes I'd love to have a free one (for a friend's IP) but also, don't use to drain cooked rice as it will get stuck between the rim & the basket. Other than that, mine seems to be constructed well, cleans well and is used often!

Way-to-go Hartigo!! I don't usually do reviews of products, but I have to change my ways with this product. Wow, it's awesome! The material and construction of the basket is top quality, a professional item if I have ever seen one. It has the quality that I seek in a product: heavy duty materials, silicone handle that lies out of the way and doesn't interfere with any of the items you place in the basket, fits perfectly inside the Instant Pot 8-qt Duo, and one can use it for any other purpose that may require a strainer. I used it the other night and fit a large head of broccoli in it; when it was done, I simply reached in, and grabbed the silicone handle, without burning my fingers and, voila, fresh steamed broccoli. It cleans up easily and stores conveniently out-of-the-way in my spare pot. I looked at a lot of other baskets and I am delighted to have chosen this one! The craftsmanship is outstanding. And now for the best part, the price!, well within budget; costing less than many of the other baskets. I give it two-thumbs up and highly recommend it to those who want a quality product that will last a life time.

I received my Hatrigo Instant Pot Steamer Basket quickly and it is very well made. I love the silicone on the handle and feet. The basket itself is has reinforcement on bottom and looks like it will hold heavier items such as potatoes and pasta without sagging. The handle is well attached and covered in silicone so will not burn my hands taking it out of the pot and this is the only basket I have found to have silicone on the feet as to not scratch the stainless steel pot. I am still waiting on my 8qt Instant Pot Ultra to arrive within the next week and will update this post with pics and more comments then. But, I did want to comment on the outstanding customer service of this company. Immediately upon receipt of my basket, I was contacted by the company to see if it arrived in good condition and if I was happy with the purchase. They asked me if I saw anything that could be improved on or if there was any other item I was looking for that I had a hard time finding. I have never had a company as my opinion or respond so quickly to my questions. They really care about their customers and want to provide the best product for our satisfaction. On customer service alone - I highly recommend this product. Will update my review in a week on the basket with pictures of what I cook in it but I expect it to work well just from how well it's made.

Update:Hatrigo gets an "A" for effort. They responded to my original review by refunding my purchase and sending me a new one. That is going well above and beyond what I expected, which was nothing. Unfortunately, the replacement has the exact same problem. For me, I cut the handle nubs off my original with a Dremel and with that, it works perfectly. I was pretty unhappy that my original unit scratched off the ceramic coating on my ceramic lined pot. That alone prompted my original one star review. But once I modified the hinge a little, it works great. It is very well made. I have cooked hard boiled eggs in it and removing the basket after it is done doesn't even require a oven mitt because of the silicone sleeve on the handle (just don't delay setting it down or you will feel heat). I really like the basket. I just would suggest that Hatrigo add a final step to cut off the handle hinge pin excess after the crimp operation as a part of their manufacturing process. Hatrigo is a quality company and I commend their customer service which is top notch.I upgraded my review from one star to four as the basket is not perfect as the two examples I have seen exhibit a problem common to both. They could fix that in a second and if they did so, this would be a five star product.Original review:Not real great. They didn't cut the handle pin ends off! See photo. I put this thing in my brand new ceramic pot and something was hanging it up. I pulled it out and I had deep scratches in the ceramic pot. Looking closer and I see the handle pins are sticking out past the outer rim by 1/8" on both sides! I am going to use my Dremel tool to grind these down. If you do not have a Dremel or the desire to modify your brand new steamer, do not order this thing. Hatrigo, you need some quality control.

I love this basket and it was a perfect fit to my Ninja

Absolutely outstanding. I've had this basket for years, and it's been terrific. I've used it pretty much daily for years, and it's held up to the wear and tear like an absolute champ. Couldn't recommend this more highly!
