    The Best Instant Pot Steamer Basket

    May 4, 2020 by Amber

    The Best Instant Pot Steamer Basket

    Check out my new favorite Instant Pot accessory. The Avokado Steamer Basket. This basket is so versatile because it can be used in the 6 and 8 quart Instant Pot as well as in a stovetop pot or used as a strainer to wash produce before cooking. It folds up for storage and is very easy to clean.

    Avokado Instant Pot Steamer Basket:

    • Time-Saving: Designed to save you time, unlike wire mesh baskets which have tiny holes in them that trap food. This basket washes easily and is dishwasher safe.
    • Durability: Wire mesh baskets can rust and dent but the Avokado steamer basket will never rust or scratch your inner stainless steel pot.
    • Instant Pot Compatible: This basket fits in 6 or 8 quart Instant Pots and electric pressure cookers. The basket can also be used as a strainer to wash veggies before pressure cooking.
    • Safety: Made with BPA-free FDA food-grade silicone. 
    • Easy to use: I really love the all-in-one design. The easy-to-use foldable silicone handles and built-in feet keep the basket off the bottom of the inner pot.

    My favorite ways to use the Avokado Steamer Basket is for large quantities and for heavy food because it can easily be lifted out of the Instant Pot.
