Hatrigo Multi-Purpose Bowl Stackable Steamer Insert Pans with Handle Lid, PIP Compatible with Instant Pot Accessories 6 qt 8 qt only, Ninja Foodi Instapot Accessory (7.5 in x 4.5 in)

I purchased this set a couple months ago and it is almost in use on a daily basis. While I love my 6qt Instant Pot, I was experiencing a bit of difficulty cooking directly in the IP liner after the first few uses. Prior to that, it worked great for everything. I was also having problems getting my rice to cook about the same time. There's nothing quite like crunchy rice! I tried a number of things to solve the problem and finally discovered that if I used a separate pot on the steamer rack, that things worked much better for me. I had thought about ordering a set of the stacking pans but they wouldn't hold much more than the barrel pan I was already using. I wanted something with a lid so I ordered this set. I will say that I've never used the small pan that inserts into the top of the larger pan. I was after a pot with depth and this one fills the bill admirably. This pot is great for making a nice batch of bean soup. The lid makes it great for storing in the fridge, too. I also cook pasta and rice in the pot, as well.Cleaning the pot is a breeze. It usually cleans up with just soapy water with little, or no, scrubbing. I've noticed that there does seem to be a filmy residue left on the inside once I've cooked rice in it--just to the level of where the rice sat. It doesn't impede the efficiency of the pot and cleans up readily with something like Bar Keeper's Friend or a stainless steel cleaner (which appear to be basically the same thing). You can't even see the residue until after the pan is dry.Getting it out of my IP can be a bit tricky but I've figured out a way to minimize that, as well. I make sure that the handle on the pot is situated in the IP away from the handles on the steamer rack. I have a pair of tongs that can easily catch the handle and lift it up so the pot can be removed from the IP.I'm very satisfied with this purchase. It was exactly what I needed.

This set is so well-made, like the other stainless Hatrigo products I own. Heavy-duty, polished stainless steel.The bottom pot is much larger than other PiP sets, this holds more volume, much better shaped (it is tall as opposed to short and wide) which is a better shape and size for more liquids, soups, stews, beans, etc.The top pot is smaller and fits perfectly in the large pot, which is great for vegs, side dishes, reheating leftovers, 5 of the mini mold cups and more. It has a fold-down handle. A bonus, the push cake pan fits down in the bottom pot so I can stack it and 7 mini mold cups in my 8 quart IP!! I have used the individual posts separately and together and they work really well and are a breeze to clean up.The lid is wonderful! No more fiddling with those cumbersome locking handles. The lid lifts on and off with a knob (yay!). I highly recommend this PiP set.

I love this pot! I am very partial to Hartrigo because of the quality of their products. I have just begun cooking with an Instant Pot, heard about their products and joined their facebook page. I've had this pot for a few months and finally used it a few times recently to make steel oats casseroles. The size was perfect for me!...my only complaint was that I wish the capacity of both pots was etched on the bottom, as I had to fill them up with water to be sure my recipe size was ok. The cleanup was no hassle, super easy. The handle, after letting the pressure naturally release, was ok for me to touch and pull out the pot no problem. There is enough room around the handle in my 6 quart IP to get to it easily without any tools needed. What surprised me the most was how water dissipated from it's surface...I filled the pots with water to get their sizes. I then needed the inside to be dry, so I got out my kitchen towel but did not need it - in just a minute or two the inside was dry - I've never seen anything like it. The same after washing, just a super quick drying occurred! Easy cleaning - I used coconut oil cooking spray on them and clean up was the easiest ever. The pots are well made, sturdy, feel very substantial (if you know what I mean), easy to handle, and I am looking forward to using them as often as I can...and never would I have thought that I would ever get this excited about cooking pots.

Absolutely love this pot - except the lid.The pot itself and the lid are made of 304 Stainless Steel, a food grade product, that is impeccable in it's quality, as well as known for it's easy clean up. I have used this pot many, many times, and am very impressed with the quality. I love that the pot is deeper than most pot-in-pot (PIP) items on the market, so you can use just the large pot, or both pots to make your tasty goodies in your inner liner. I really enjoy PIP cooking as I can make smaller amounts, make a main dish and a side, or two items at once, and it doesn't get the inner liner dirty - which can be heavy and a hassle to clean. Doing PIP cooking gives your IP so much more versatility!! This particular product is most definitely a game changer, and I would highly recommend it.....I just wish the screw in the lid was made from 304 Stainless Steel as well. The screw in the lid is my only issue with this product. Unfortunately, the screw is made of sub-standard material and it has rusted, rendering the lid useless.Fortunately, the seller has made good on the issues I've had with this product. I will likely order another of this particular product - especially if they come out with a 3-quart, 8-quart or 10-quart version for my Instant Pots that aren't 6-quart. It's a handy and very useful accessory!! I will just have to go to my local Fastenal and get a 304 Stainless Steel screw for the lid.
