Instant Pot Mesh Steamer Basket

This official accessory is designed to be compatible with most standard Instant Pot pressure cookers. However, it is best to check that your specific pot size—typically 6-quart or larger—accommodates the basket dimensions before purchasing.

Absolutely. The fine mesh construction is excellent for steaming delicate items like seafood, dumplings, or grains that might otherwise slip through the holes of a traditional steamer insert.

While the integrated handles are designed for easy removal, they are made of stainless steel and will be hot after pressure cooking. We recommend using silicone mitts or tongs to lift the basket safely.

The basket is constructed from durable, high-quality stainless steel, which is resistant to rust and corrosion. To keep it in top condition, simply rinse it after use and ensure it is dried thoroughly before storage.

Not at all. Because it is dishwasher safe, you can simply place it in the dishwasher after use. If you prefer hand washing, a quick scrub with a soft brush or sponge easily removes any food residue from the mesh.
