Use a steamer basket for delicate foods

The basic Instant Pot trivet's large gaps are another drawback. The trivet can potentially be used for steaming, but only for meals that are substantial enough to stay on it. Use a steamer basket like this certified Instant Pot type to stop this from happening. You won't need to be concerned about food particles getting into your cooking liquid because the basket is composed with a pretty thin mesh.

This type of steamer basket is an excellent purchase because steaming is the best way to cook several meals in an Instant Pot. Fish, shrimp, and chicken breast are all excellent possibilities for steaming. In the Instant Pot, steamed veggies also cook well and retain more of their taste and nutritional value than when they are boiled.
