Instant Pot Stainless Steel Inner Cooking Pot 8-Qt Polished Surface Rice Cooker Stainless Steel Cooking Pot

I have an 8 quart Instant Pot. I bought this 3 quart pot for Pot in Pot (PiP) cooking. I've used it twice so far, both times for making rice. The 3 quart pot fits perfectly inside my 8 quart pot - plenty of room around the outside. It's easy to put in and take out. It doesn't "bake" the rice at the bottom of the pot. And it's a LOT easier to wash this little pot when making a smaller amount of something than the 8 quart! It's heavy-duty and excellent quality. All around, I'm thrilled! Read more

This insert is a quality product (get OEM) and fits perfectly in my 6-quart Insta pot. If you have ever burned the bottom of your cooking pot this will prevent it. Set on top of trivit and add 1 cup of water before pressure cooking. Well worth the cost! Read more

I actually use this differently than it's real intended use. I have the "Large" Instant Pot. I like it, but when I make creamy soups they often burn on the bottom. Not charred black, but just dark brown like a toasted marshmallow color and stuck hard to the tub which requires soaking in soapy water overnight and scrubbing to get it cleaned. So, I use this small tub like a "double boiler" inside of the large tub. I put a wire rack in the big tub then sit the smaller tub in it, then fill around the sides with water. I then put my soup ingredients in the smaller inside tub and use the pre-programmed "soup" automatic setting. The soup comes out perfect all the way through without the burnt bottom. So, no more scrubbing! Just pour it into a container to refrigerate after dinner and rinse out the small tub with the hot water from the big tub dish and a bit of soap. Rinse the tubs and let them dry in the dish rack. Done! Read more

I got this to use for taking lentils and rice to potluck at church, without having to lug around 2 Instant Pots. I make a batch of lentils at home and transport it in the Instant Pot. When I arrive at church, I remove the lentil insert and wrap it up in a towel to keep it warm. Then I put this 2nd insert (which holds the rice/water) into the Instant Pot and set it at 4 minutes while I'm in church. Works like a charm and cheaper than buying a 2nd Instant Pot! Read more

Superb product with fexibility in fitting other brands - I had much concern that this Genuine Instant Pot Stainless Steel - 8 Quart Inner Cooking Pot would not fit as a replacement for my Cook's Essential 8 Quart Pressure Cooker Insert. This product was shipped faster than I expected, but I still had reservations about it fitting my product as a substitute right up until the point that I opened the box. After all, who wants to go through all of the trouble of returning merchandise on Amazon.com or anywhere else for that matter. Well, with all of the negative posts about this product, I still took a BIG chance in ordering it. So far, I don't have any regrets....though I've only used it once for Pressure Cooker Mac-n- Cheese (Delicious!!!). I did read several reviews/complaints that the product was shipped damaged or that the product felt like cheap quality metal. My package was properly boxed and protected with one Styrofoam insert to protect the top of the 8 Quart Pressure Cooker Insert. And here is where the potential problem may begin, this may save the shipper money in packaging, but it certainly leaves the buyer at risk of receiving a product that is damaged on the bottom. Suggestion for the shipper/seller - when shipping this product, please use that Styrofoam on the top and bottom of this product, your customers will thank you with many well deserved positive ratings.
