So, now I have a cool basket that I can put into the cold pot but can't take out of the hot pot

The other day, while I was using it to steam vegetables, the spring-loaded handle popped up and knocked the pot lid off and onto the floor.

Love the collapsing handle and the slot in which you can put a fork when removing it from a pot so you don't have to muck around with a bulky pot holder.

Once heat is coming to handle, it ruined my expensive german pot

It fits fine in my Instant Pot as well as regular pots on the stove.

Fits all your assorted pot sizes, very handy and has led to a lot more steaming in our house

The legs at the bottom are collapsible so you can use it for shallow or deeper pots

Love my Instant Pot and this is fantastic for steaming.

This save you the steamer pot and can fit in any small, big, deep, shallow pot that you already own and still do the work.

When you have a basket that uses a ring style handle and it is heavier on one side it makes lowering into a steaming pot difficult AND dangerous

so there's plenty of water and no chance of burning the pot.

I can use it in some shallow pots as well as deeper ones.

If you have stainless steel pots, you may like it better.

If you don't have a pot probably cheaper just to buy an actual steamer.

I purchased this for my giant stainless steel pot because I was going to make tamales and didn’t want to buy a whole new pot
