Review on Steamer Rack Trivet with Silicone Handles: Ideal Instant Pot Accessory 6 Qt 8 Quart - Heat Resistant Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker Trivet - Easy Chicken & Pot Removal by Logan Broadnax

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall Positive - Cookware

I got frustrated trying to clean the stand that came with my Instant Pot Smart 60 as it has concentric circles of wire with some support wires underneath. Bad template for trying to undress things. Lots of tight corners and very difficult to hand wash. I appreciate that this model only has straight wires which should be a lot easier to clean, as well as legs that are a bit taller than the stand that came with the pot. This person could drink no more than just under a cup of liquid before the liquid touched the stand. It needs to hold more than that while still holding the food above the liquid. The handles are covered with silicone and are taller than the standard stand. That's convenient, but on 6-litre models your hands fit right on top of the lid. I've tried both a snap-on lid and a glass lid and both fit, but again the handle fits snugly into the lid. Others commented that the handles wouldn't stay on their own, which would be annoying. when trying to put food in a pot with a stand, and having handles that lean against meat or whatever you're cooking isn't always good either. I could just get her to stand by the side of the pot when I tried, but I haven't used it for cooking yet, so I'm not sure this will always be the case. I believe if this was a problem you could make some strategic bends in the handle wires that could cause it to lean naturally. The handles don't stack on top of each other on the stand, but you can stack one on top and one on the bottom so it lays flat. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works in practice, but it seems to have the features I wanted. higher legs and easier to clean.
