Because the handle is near the top and cools off quickly, we can just grab it soon after releasing the steam

The handles are sturdy and easy to grab and fold down.

I had to prop the larger steamer on another device to keep it out of the water, but my beans came out perfect, the handle was useful, and the steamer cleaned up easily too.

Nice handle to lift out of the InstantPot

They are a great size, the handle is nice and the fact that they are footed makes dumping pasta in them great.

The reason we prefer to use steamer baskets for this is because the handle of the steamer makes it very easy to remove the *very* hot mug from the depths of the Instant Pot
