Wonderful Stainless Pot with Measurements Engraved!

I was Skeptical about purchasing this 8 QT Instant Pot Liner because of some of the reviews. This Liner Pot is AWESOME! It is the perfect weight and thickness, and is the same quality Liner pot that came with my 6 quart Instant Pot. What a GREAT Buy!

Pros
  • A 3 quart instapot vessal works with my Instant Pot Mini duo.
Cons
  • Lacks the non-stick feature

Bought 3 quart pot to use as a tall-sided inner pot in my 6 quart IP for pot-in-pot cooking method. Used the red, silicone sling as a trivet instead of the yellow, silicone trivet or the trivet/rack that came with my machine as those were both too tall to close the lid correctly & make a good seal. The handles of the red sling did have to be slipped down between the two pots to create a solid seal. Worked great! Able to make a double batch of rice pudding for a small crowd!

Pros
  • Fit perfectly in the 6 court instapot Been using it ever since
Cons
  • Needs more seasoning

Superb product with fexibility in fitting other brands.

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 Revain.com

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • Might need to be seasoned frequently

Now I have two but would like to have three!

Since I received my Instant Pot IP DUO 7 about a week ago along with the extra pot which I had ordered, I have prepared our entire meals in the Instant pot. (s) I now have two pots and two lids. I prepare one dish and then remove the pot and cover with the lid to keep warm, (sometimes in a 200 degree oven if it's going to be a while.) and then I use the other pot to make my next dish/side. (potatoes, rice, greens, veggies.etc.) I'm thinking of adding yet another extra pot so that I have the…

Pros
  • Stockpots
Cons
  • Might not be worth investing in

Very impressed! on my review.

The company has this in a box where it was wrapped in plastic had styrofoam around it very well protected. Took it out to find no flaws at all very well made completely 100%, pleased! Well worth the money to have something very well made and flawless!

Pros
  • Instant pot stainless steel inner cooking pot, food grade 304 (18/8), no chemical coating
Cons
  • More prone to spills

I have a 6-qt Instant Pot and an air fryer lid. I use this smaller pot (placed on a trivet inside the larger 6-qt pot) when I cook for just myself using the air fryer lid. I get frustrated cleaning up the huge pot for one chicken thigh, for example. I haven't used the pressure function using this technique so I have no comment on that.I had originally bought the ceramic-coated version of this thinking it was easier to clean compared to the 6qt stainless steel pot. It wasn't. Barkeeper's Friend…

Pros
  • This was a perfect and authentic replacement for my original Instant Pot bowl.
Cons
  • Could leave metal marks on non-metal utensils

Great extra pot for my Instant Pot

Got this extra one because I thought that I had ruined my old one. Turns out I didn't and the old one came clean. Now I have two. But they are really great. Stainless steel. I like stainless steel much better than a pot with no-stick coating. The stainless is the best. Heats great, cleans great, having two is just that much better.

Pros
  • Virtually no difference between this and the one that came with the original cooker
Cons
  • Might be too small for some dishes

Thanks for sending this product, holds up well.

I like that I received this product, not like a cheaper one that I never received with a lid. I would have like to had a lid like the first order. But it was not included with this order it was extra money, but it seems to fit very well in the the pot.

Pros
  • Pots & Pans
Cons
  • Might need to be replaced frequently

As Expected! on my review.

Came just as expected! Same great quality as always from InstantPot. So glad I could buy just the liner - I use mine 2-3 times a week and going without it was awful!

Pros
  • Not as thick as original, but it works just fine.
Cons
  • Might not be durable

Different weight but same good use

I had to buy a replacement pot as the one that originally came with my Instapot Duo 6 got a dent on the rim which rendered it unfit for use (couldn’t hold the pressure). Initially, Revain wasn’t able to ship a stainless steel inner pot out of the US and so I bought a ceramic one. As you can see in the photo, the original SS pot weighed in at 836g while the ceramic one came in at 633g. Revain is now able to ship overseas and I just received mine today - yay! But as you can see, like others have…

Pros
  • Fits perfectly in my IP and in my off brand pot.
Cons
  • Requires more attention while cooking

I love these. I can't believe it took me years to order some extra inserts. I often times cook something, take out the insert then cook something again immediately before cleaning the first now.

Pros
  • Sometimes you need to cook and put aside while you cook something else. 2 pots is perfect.
Cons
  • Might not be completely rust-proof

Love this inner pot

I picked up a 3qt mini from a thrift shop. The only thing missing was an inner pot. I did some digging and found this reasonably priced name branded IP. Easy to clean and sturdy. Now, cooking for my family is so easy that I've been able to add a second IP to my kitchen!

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Might not be made of the highest quality materials

Authentic replacement part

Not much to say. If you like the Instant Pot, then you will like this authentic replacement/add on inner liner. I got this because something heavy fell on and damaged the edge of the spare that I already owned. This was not a shortcoming of the liner but rather the combined effect of gravity and a falling crock pot. If you own an Instant Pot and use it much, a second liner and an extra set of gaskets is a great help. I can still use the damaged liner when using the Instant pot as a crock pot, I

Pros
  • Multiple different courses can be made with more than one.
Cons
  • Tends to create hotspots
