These pots are perfect for pot-in-pot Instant Pot cooking. I have used them to make oatmeal, rice, and to cook multilayer meals. Wouldn’t be without them. They are sturdy and clean up well.

Nice quality insert pans that fit well in my 6 qt. Instant Pot. Stacking the pans together allows two different foods to be cooked at the same time. The top pan is the one you use the lid on when you use both pans, either the solid lid or perforated lid for steaming. I saw several reviews that say the stand won't close, but you aren't supposed to use both lids at the same time. When stacking, the top pan nestles into the bottom pan and becomes the lid. You only use one lid on the top most pan. The folding stand seems very light duty, but works very well once you get the hang of it. Over all, pleased with the purchase.

I bought this to fit into my instant pot to use when steaming bao in the pot. Things that are important to know: The two containers do not have any holes in them to allow steam to enter or exit. The one container fits tightly on the other container such that not much is going to enter or leave the bottom pot. Using the perforated lid on the top container allows some steam to enter it, but the bottom one gets nothing. So, the net result is this: the bao I buy at the asian market has instructions for how long to steam--it might say ten minutes or fifteen minutes..doesn't matter what time it says, if the bao are in the bottom container they won't get done in that amount of time in the instant pot even under pressure--because cold air is 'sealed in' when you assemble the stuff together and it takes extra time for that temperature to equalize with everything else going on in the pot. The top container does better with the holes in the lid, but I found that not enough steam entered that container, so I had to put a piece of damp paper towel in with the bao (in both containers) so they would be properly steamed rather than weirdly dry roasted.If your recipe calls for soup on the bottom and something else in the top, then this arrangement might work better for you. I might end up drilling holes in both containers at the sides to allow more steam to enter and the temperature to equalize faster, since I bought them only for steaming bao.Having said all that, I like the containers, they're sturdy and easy to clean and easy to put together and latch and carry to the table and whatnot. I did not have trouble with dark colored goop around the rolled edges, everything was very clean and I washed by hand and looked specifically for goop to make sure I got rid of it. So no trouble there.Anyway, these are OK but maybe my purpose is too specialized. I wanted stacking containers so I could steam more bao at once and this gives mixed results that make me less than enthusiastic. What I had been using before was a combo of one of those perforated flower-looking steamer baskets that opens and closes with overlapping 'petals' on the bottom and an overturned disposable metal pie plate with a few holes poked in it above. This arrangement resulted in perfectly steamed bao but was definitely rickety and not convenient for delivery to the table. So neither of the solutions I presently have is perfect.

I liked mine so well that I bought one for my son while visiting him. Was amazed could use this in his pressure cooker and happy! Makes great veggies and rice at same time!

I bought these in 2020 and for some reason, never tried to use them until the other night. I will say that I could not fit it in my 2015 Instant Pot Duo 6QT 7-in-1 (couldn't get top on) but it did fit in my 2018 Instant Pot Ultra 6Qt. 10-in-1 it fit well but I could NOT put in a trivet or their carrier.I made Urvashi Pitre's Butter chicken and Basmati Rice (seriously get her Easy 100 Instant Pot Recipes Cookbook-I own several of hers and this is by far my favorite and the rice came out perfectly steamed, the chicken tender. It was as good or superior to what I've had in some restaurants.Getting the pots out of the IP was a little difficult without using the handled metal system. They hand washed perfectly. I didn't try the dishwasher.I'll be using these a lot more often now..

I wanted something to cook rice in using my instapot and this is perfect. It cooks perfect rice for 2 meals for 2-3 people. I have hand-washed it as well as washed in dishwasher, and been using everyday for over 2 months now, and it has retained its quality. Happy with purchase!

The best instant pot insert. We use it for cooking rice most of the time and it fits well in dishwasher. So handy and not to worry about washing the whole pressure cooker.

I could find rust/ brown color formation around the corners. I used it regularly and only for cooking rice.The stacking handle often dismantles while trying to stack and lock.

As you guys can see from my uploaded photo, this is the best position the sling can fit the steamers. Can't put this babe into my 8 qt instant pot.
