Pavsrmy Steamer Basket, 3rd Generation Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer with Extendable Handle for Cooking Food, Folding & Expandable Veggie Steam Insert, Fit Various Size Instant Pot (5.5" to 9")

Well worth the money. Silicone-wrapped feet, thick metal, expandable stem makes pick-up a dream. Very nice product!

This is a new version of the semi-standard folding-flower sort of steamer basket. It is solid stainless and of a slightly heavier gauge metal than I have seen in the past. It sports two nice features. Where a classic steamer of this sort would have a wee metal pole sticking up from the middle that would be the same height as the basket and have a small ring at the top, this one has a telescoping pole with a flat handle at its top. Closed down it is the same height as the basket. Fully extended it puts the handle several inches above the basket which should provide a more comfortable handle with which to pull it from a steaming pot. Though the pole when collapsed is no taller than the basket, it may be unscrewed from the steamer and will fit nicely inside the folded basket Additionally, rather than three, scratchy metal feet that you would not want to put in a non-stick pot, this basket has three folding legs, each covered with bright green and soft silicone rubber. They should handle any heat produced while steaming and, given that silicone rubber is good to 600-700F, should survive a reasonably brief exposure to full heat if you inadvertently boil off all your water. That is just my opinion, not a claim the manufacturer has made (that I know of). So, I find no cons whatsoever and several pros with this steamer. I like it and I will buy it again.

I must have been handed down 2 or 3 of these over the years and I honestly had no idea what it was. I thought it was a mystery insert to some kitchen equipment that I no longer had. Now that I'm 52, trying to eat healthy and steaming a lot of Japanese foods I've rediscovered the folding steamer. This one has plastic coated feet which was very important to me. I will be using it in a copper pot that is very easily scratched. Now if I'm steaming buns or a protein in my larger steaming pot I can steam something else in my copper pot using this steamer basket. Fantastic! That means I don't have to buy a second steaming pot and find a place to store it in the kitchen.

It is exactly what I wanted and expected! It is moderate upgrade from the entry level basket. It has rubber feet and the handle is slightly higher quality. Functionally it works otherwise the same.

We were looking for a basket that had a long handle for taking the steamer out of the pot because most have only a ring that gets scalding hot and can't be reached even with a hot pad. This does it! Especially like the rubber feet on the bottom that keep the pot from being scratched. Wanted the extendable handle to have a rubber top so that you can use it without a hot pad, but we couldn't find one, but this one works fine by using a fork to lift it out of the pot.

Fits in a smaller pot! I have a larger steamer basket, and the center post cannot be removed. This one unscrews and allows more flexibility in the pans I use, especially an instant pot.

Loved this little steamer basket, and used it constantly, until the wonderful screw in handle threads stripped at the base, and wouldn't grip to stay in any more. Now I'm scooping the veggies out with a big spoon, which kind of defeats the purpose. Need to make tougher or deeper grooves for the screw in part! Otherwise loved it while it worked. The feet with silicone are great!

Nice steamer like the handle

I use this for steaming veggies in the wok. It works great and holds a fair amount of food. Pretty solid construction and easy to clean. I like it and would buy again

As shown in the picture it doesn't have that long rod to hold. And the legs are different. But it does the job

Es bueno ya que no tengo que poner mi bolillos a la lumbres directos con este se hacen blanditos, y si quiero solo que calienten los pongo en este producto
