Fits Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus Perfectly and Works the Same!

Purchased this to replace one of those red novelty dragon steam diverters that were advertised to fit the Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus, which did NOT fit. So glad I made this purchase. This black, soft silicone diverter fits my Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus perfectly and works perfectly, as well. At first, I didn't think it was going to fit, BUT then I realized all I had to do was remove the clear hard plastic cap covering the steam output, and then this diverter fit nice and snug over the removable…

Pros
  • Works exactly as described
Cons
  • Inconsistent steam release – sometimes too much or too little comes out

Not while cooking good for me

This works great for diverting the steam away from cabinets and ceiling. Unfortunately, whenever I have it on the spout of my Instant Pot while it’s pressurizing, the weight of it pulls down and releases air, causing it to not come up to pressure as it should. Otherwise, great product and doesn’t hold a smell. (That’s a bonus, because I live with my husband and our three boys. Smells are everywhere :D )

Pros
  • Thank you for a great product ! Works well - used almost every day.
Cons
  • The silicone diverter accessory may not fit all types of cookers

A must for anyone with an Instapot

Bought this for my mom who wanted something to redirect the steam when released. Due to the short cord of the Instapot, steam would end up hitting her cabinets which she was worried would damage the finish over time. Set up takes literally seconds and does a great job redirecting the steam where you want it to go. Been using it for months with no issues. Happy with my purchase!

Pros
  • Well worth the money.
Cons
  • It could take some time to figure out how to attach the accessory properly

It’s a good idea, but…

It’s a nice little concept. A durable silicone nozzle to deflect damaging steam away from cabinets and faces. However, it doesn’t fit snugly on the pressure release bobbin. This means the first jet of steam shoots the silicone diverter straight off the Instant Pot lid like a rocket. You actually have to hold it in place with your fingers for it to work. At least silicone is heat-resistant, so you won’t burn yourself. But pay attention you don’t turn it the wrong way or loosen your grip, or you…

Pros
  • It leaks steam but I am still keeping it as there’s no alternative
Cons
  • Falls off. Went to grab it and got burned. Have to using something to hold it on

works well: my feedback

This is one of those instant pot accessories that I sneered at in the beginning, and now absolutely love. It solves two problems:1) I no longer need to use tongs to vent the instant pot.2) My kitchen cabinets are hanging over nearly all of my countertops, and I was becoming increasingly concerned with the pressurized steam bath they received every time I vented the pressure cooker function. This diverter solves the problem.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • It could make it more challenging to see what’s going on inside the Instant Pot during the cooking process

Good accessory: my feedback

This is a good solution for venting. Being able to change direction of the steam and vapor makes the instant pot much more usable.

Pros
  • There is nothing to dislike about this product. It fits perfectly and I use it nearly every day
Cons
  • You have to make sure the accessory is facing in the right direction, which can be confusing

This should come as standard equipment.

Sure, this saves your cabinets. But it also saves you from getting scalded by steam. For those saying don't buy it that are owners of smart models of instant pot, I don't understand their complaints. In the advertisement, illustrated, with bright red background, it WARNS people that this won't work on Smart model instant pots. So much for literacy. If you own a smart model of instant pot, ignore this review. For everyone else, it's worth the 10 bucks I paid for this. Great safety equipment.

Pros
  • Ideal for those with arthritis or other hand mobility issues
Cons
  • May take time to find the proper temperature and pressure settings

Bought for 6qt Ninja foodi

Fits great and makes it easier to turn the knob to vent. Also saves my cabinets from the hot steam. Bought another for my mom who also owns a 6 qt. Ninja Foodi

Pros
  • Protects kitchen surfaces from steam damage
Cons
  • The silicone could pinch your fingers while attaching or detaching it to the Instant Pot

A MUST have for your Instapot

This is a must have addition for any Instapot. Saves your walls, cabinets and more importantly, saves you from burns.SADLY, I have to update this. If you have a Duo Plus, it does not fit onto the steam outlet. It's too large, designed for the steam release that has the lever on it. It falls right off my Duo Pot Plus with the separate vent/seal slide switch.

Pros
  • Been looking for a steam diverter, but the IP Ultra has a different sized port. This works a charm
Cons
  • It could attract dust and dirt when not in use

This is saving my cabinets from the steam damage.

You still must be careful when you use this steam diverter and keep yourself out of the line of steam, it will burn you. But it does just what it was intended to do and puts the steam into the room, not bad in the winter, not straight up under or on your cabinets. It is very thick, and goes into the dishwasher or can be easily hand washed. If you have an instant pot you need one of these. This particular one is made for the Lux instant pot, mine is an 8qt.

Pros
  • Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning
Cons
  • It may not do much to prevent scorching at the bottom of the pot

I would definitely recommend it!

I really like the steam release diverter because it keeps the steam from my instant pot from going upwards and instead outwards. It seems well made and sturdy. So far it has worked very well. I would suggest to somebody using it for the first time to have a towel over it because you're so used to the steam going upward that you don't realize the seam is about to start coming out straight and sometimes it's at you based on how the instant pot is situated on the counter.

Pros
  • More convenient than traditional steam release methods
Cons
  • It may not release steam as quickly as needed for steamed vegetables

Sturdy product for a good price.

This was a purchase for my Ninja Foodi 8-Qt 9-in-1 deluxe XL pressure cooker (FD104), etc. My previous electric pressure cooker was just not what I wanted, so when this was on sale (Prime Day) I decided to treat myself. I didn't like that upon releasing the pressure after pressure cooking, the steam spewed onto my cabinets. When I saw this device I decided to try it. Now I am glad I did. It fits perfectly and I am excited to use it. Let's get to cooking!

Pros
  • Fits a variety of cookers, not just Instant Pot
Cons
  • The extra attachment could take up storage space in your kitchen

Pretty happy in my review

I am yet to use to use it, but this is my second purchase from Jess and the team at Two Day Direct and while it looks HUGE, I am excited to use it and see how it goes with the steam.I dont doubt this will disappoint me as my first purchase is still going and outlived my Crock Pot

Pros
  • Highly durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • It may not be as versatile as advertised

I'm very pleased with this product

I can now control release of steam from my Evo Duo much more easily. The diverter accessory allows me to release steam much more quickly and diffuses it effectively, without pushing all the steam upward, thus jeopardizing the paint on my ceiling. I should have bought it a long time ago!

Pros
  • Quality Design - Food Grade And Durable BPA Free Silicone Material Holds Up At High Temperatures So That Your Steam Is Diverted In The Right Direction. Topper Is Also Dishwasher Safe For Easy Cleaning
Cons
  • The diverter accessory may not seal tightly, causing leaks

Fits larger vent on IP-LUX model

This one fits the Instant Pots that have a large steam vent like the IP-LUX. Really useful when you don’t want your cabinets to get damage from steam. Also included was a sweet thank you note from the seller for supporting their small business. That was a nice touch!

Pros
  • Can withstand high temperatures without melting
Cons
  • The accessory may interfere with the pressure building process inside the Instant Pot

I never knew how much I needed this!

We love everything about this product, from the way it diverts stream from our Ninja Foodi 14-1 release to the fast shipping! It's something you didn't realize you needed until you actually see it in action!

Pros
  • Smarter Choice - The Perfect Accessories For Your Cooking Pots. Prevent Scalding Burns And Save Your Cabinet From Being Ruined By Steam. Covers Spout On Insta Cooker To Redirect Stream Away From Cabinets And Hands
Cons
  • It may not make a significant difference in steam release over time

Fast exactly what I wanted. PERSONAL

My steam diverted thing came so quick. It’s exactly what I was wanting. Nothing fancy just a tool to do the job! Best part? A note- written looks like - thanking me for my purchase. I will def b back looking for more because this level of customer service is hard to come by. Thank you for your note.

Pros
  • Perfect for busy families who cook often
Cons
  • The accessory may not always release the steam where it's needed

I love this product

I was so tired of my Instant Pot letting off steam underneath my cabinets. If I pulled the pot out from under the cabinet the steam would get all over the front of the cabinet. I do not have an island in my kitchen so the counter tops were the only place to use the pot. I purchased this steam defuser and used it for the first time today. It works perfectly. What a great idea! I bought the one for the Instant Pot Luxe model and it fit perfectly. I would recommend this product to everyone. There…

Pros
  • Improved safety when cooking with steam
Cons
  • It could leave oily marks on your countertop after use

Best instapot purchase gadget ever!

OMG! This little device is a life saver. No. Literally. A LIFE SAVER! We just recently renovated our kitchen with new cabinets and I swear my husband was gonna kill me eveytime I used my instapot and realeased the steam - right onto the underside of the new cabinets that he painstakingly spent hours installing. Now. The steam blows out and away from the cabinets. Making my husband a happy man and I get to cook without his complaints! Thank you !

Pros
  • Fits snugly on most pressure cookers
Cons
  • It may not work as well with certain Instant Pot models

Great value.: my feedback

Does what it says. Diverts the steam in whichever direction you prefer. Keeps wood and paint on shelving dry. The silicone could give off an odd odor during cooking.

Pros
  • Clear design lets you monitor the steam release
Cons
  • The silicone could give off an odd odor during cooking
