DS. DISTINCTIVE STYLE Steamer Rack 304 Stainless Steel Steaming Rack Steam Tray with Removable Legs for Instant Pressure Cooker Multi-functional Steamer Basket (Silver - 22cm)

I do not can all the time, but when I do decide to water bath can I have a fairly good selection of canning equipment. Unfortunately, almost all of my water bath equipment is intended for the larger wide mouth jars I typically use to can tomatoes, peppers, etc. Last week I decided to can some fresh strawberries and use my supply of smaller “jelly” size jars, but when a tried using the racks I had to hold them in place in the water bath the openings were far too large and the jars just fell to the bottom. Being in a small panic as the strawberries would not wait forever, I checked Amazon and instead of a wire rack, I found the solution was a stainless steel plate with short legs that easily hold all the jars while keeping them off direct contact with the bottom of my crock pot. While most of the dimensions in the advertising are in metric and approximate, here is what you need to know: The stainless steel disk has a slight raised rim around the outside which helps keep the jars from touching the inside of the pot. The disk measures 8-1/2” in diameter, and the pot in the photo is a standard 10” pot, which actually measures 9-1/2” inside diameter. This means there is a half-inch clearance all around which is perfect to place inside and take out without any problem since it’s not a tight fit. The legs raise the plate surface 2-1/2” but for a tall crock pot and short jelly jars this still leaves the jars far below the water level. While the three stainless steel legs were fairly easy to press into the provided notches on the bottom of the plate, this takes a little wrangling to make the connection so I recommend leaving the legs attached when stored even though this might make it slightly harder to stack with other canning equipment while avoiding bending. I am pleased with my purchase and really liked the lower sale price!

This steamer rack worked great for my tamales. It fit perfectly down into my 12 inch stock pot. It’s good quality and a great value. I’m happy with my purchase.

It works great! I use this all the time in my dutch oven for just about everything I want to heat up. Also great for steaming veggies.

This stainless steel steamer rack is a practical little tool for everyday cooking. The 22 cm size fits nicely in most pots and pressure cookers, and the removable legs make it easy to adjust for different dishes. It feels sturdy and doesn’t warp under heat, which is impressive for the price. Cleaning is quick, and it handles everything from vegetables to dumplings without fuss. It’s not fancy, but it’s dependable, durable, and worth having in any kitchen.

Worked perfectly

Much needed for our stock pot. Lobsters and Crab Legs are in the near future.

Bought to use in wok. Didn’t work well as it kept falling over. The legs kept falling off so it didn’t help.

This is a nice steamer rack. It's sturdy and it fits my wok perfectly. Steams veggies and goyza better then my bamboo steamer. I took the legs off (they're removable) - I didn't need them. I'd buy it again !

Wife is very happy

Good

I was looking for something that fits 8Qt instant pot a bit better, and this is probably the closest one. There's maybe a 0.5cm cap around. I bought these even though they are slightly pricier than other models also because the legs are longer than the other ones I've seen on amazon. They been clean, sturdy as stainless steel should. I bought two of them which stack nicely in my instantpot. 3 of these will not fit. I've only used them to steam food. But I reckon they would work just as well for baking.

Love it, perfect for what I needed it for.

This works well but was a bit small for my 23l Presto pressure cooker. I should have got the next size up!
