    Fits inside of 6 quart Dutch oven

    I was looking for a small wire mesh basket that would fit inside of a normal 6-quart pot, or dutch oven.I ordered the 6-quart version of this same steamer basket, but it was much smaller than I anticipated.The 8-quart steamer basket actually fits much better inside of the 6-quart dutch oven and pot.I was looking for a basket that I could cook pasta in, where I could simply lift the basket out to drain the pasta, rather than needing to use a separate collander.Normal pots that come with a pasta insert, typically have larger holes in the insert, and pasta sometimes slips through the holes, and to the bottom of the pot.The wire mesh of these baskets is too small for the pasta to slip through.Using this basket, the pasta no longer burns or sticks to the bottom of the pot, because the basket does not touch the bottom of the pot.Using this basket, it is very easy to drain the pasta, simply picking the basket up, via the silicon covered handle.The wire mesh is small enough to accommodate grains of rice also, if you wanted to use it for that.And, it could also be used for steaming of vegetables, dumplings, or anything else.The only negative is that it DOES stick out of the top of the pot, so you could not use the basket in those cases where you wanted to use the lid to seal the pot.Personally, I really like these baskets.If I could make any manufacturer suggestions, it would be to make the baskets as wide as possible, to come within 1/2 - 1/4 of an inch from the side walls of a standard 6 quart pot or dutch oven, and where the top of the basket sits just under the closed lid.I gave them 5 stars, because I like the materials, quality of the build, quality of the mesh, and versatility.But, I would like to see them designed to better fit a typical 6-quart pot or dutch oven.

    GREAT ACCESSORY!

    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.

    More uses than just steaming vegetables.

    Ok, this doesn't sit inside my Hexclad 8 qt. pot & allow a lid to seal the pot. However, this works very easily in my 12 qt. camping pots. It also works good as a pasta strainer. Good construction, easy handle to lift the basket.

    Perfect fit for 6 quart Instant Pot

    Perfect fit. I did remove the silicone off the handle by cutting along the length (spine) of the handle with a box cutter. You can’t just pop off one end of the handle because the ends are pressure stamped flat outside the basket rim, so it can’t be removed without damaging the basket. It was simply my personal preference to not have silicone inside my pressure cooker while cooking food. The basket seems well built. This product is the perfect solution for transferring food out of the cooker securely, rather than the flimsy grate that came with the pot that spills your food onto the counter.

    Roomy steamer basket holds a lot and works very well.

    We bought this for our stockpot after our steamer pot got damaged. It was a MUCH more economical options for steaming vegetables than traditional steamers and means I don't have an extra pot taking up space in my cupboards. I would highly recommend this steamer basket. It is very roomy and holds a lot.
