14 hours ago, ElsieD said:Just read that the IP people are coming out with a steamer set. This consists of a silicone trivet with long handles, silicone steamer basket designed to fit on the trivet and a silicone broiler pan which will have a gloss finish and which stacks on either the trivet or the steamer basket. Available for pre-order on Amazon with a release date of Dec. 1.
Interesting.
I look forward to seeing it when they get around to publishing some images. This led me to some Amazon browsing that turned up a couple more observations:
Amazon has an Instant Pot-branded circulator listed for using the IP as a sous vide vessel. I think we all know that @Anna N published that application here some time ago. Perhaps royalties are in order???
Amazon is presently offering the Instant Pot replacement silicone rings (for $6.99) and the little red silicone mitts (for $5.21/set of 2) listed as "add-on items" for Prime members. I find the mitts very helpful. I probably use them as much for the Cuisi steam oven as the IP.
Finally, I noticed Instant Pot has a blog post on their web site titled, "Unapproved Sealing Rings Sold By Unauthorized Dealers." I have no idea whether there is any actual risk in using them or not. Instant Pot could be trying to protect their market or felt they needed to issue a CYA statement but I thought it was interesting.
