ekovana 3qt Mini Stackable Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker Steamer Insert Pans with sling handle - compatible with Instant Pot Accessories 3 quart - two interchangeable lids

I love love love this. It fits in my 3 quart instapot which I keep in my camper and also in my big instapot at home. Super nice quality with a very positive locking handle which makes it easy and secure to lift even when it's hot. It has a trivet built into the handle mechanism so you don't need add that to your pot. There is a bit of a learning curve for cooking in it. The bottom pan cooks faster than the top pan since the bottom sits in the boiling water. When pressure cycle of cooking is through I quick release, pull it out and switch pans and put it back in and close top on IP but don't restart. Usually 10 more minutes of just sitting in the boiling water finishes the cooking. My favorite thing to make in this is chinese egg pudding. Equal parts egg to water or cream to 3 cups (1 -1/2cup per pan) : 10 minutes high pressure, quick release, switch pans, 10 minutes more with just lid closed. YUM. Cleanup is usually soaking and a little scrubbing because of the rim. This also makes a great leftover dish with lids and stacking for space saver. I use it several times a month.

This is a great product for pip with the 3 qt IPot mini. The quality is every bit what you are used to with the larger size you may already have. I have a Carey 9 qt pressure canner cooker and have a set of 8 qt ekovana stackable and they have the same high quality stainless steel quality. The ekovana fit perfectly in the 3 qt mini IPot, making it very easy to cook PIP. The cooking is even- no pesky hot spots to mar your cooking. Clean up is a breeze! Hot soapy water and it’s spotless! Having used the stackable ekovana in both my Carey and mini IPot, I can attest that this is the type of product that will last for a looooong time with consistent great results; so nice to know great quality is still very afffordable. Thanks for a great supper ekovana!!

The set worked very well for a long time. However, After some Months of use The pans went out of round and the lid popped open during processing allowing water to enter into pan. This is perhaps because I chose to use only one pan and not double up as the illustration shows. I make one serving of steel cut oatmeal every morning and only want to use one pan, not both, nor the larger 3 quart container. In future I will probably put my oatmeal and water in one pan and will add the second pan on top so the containment wire contraption will hold both secure and not allow the lid to pop open. That way only 1 small pan to clean instead of the entire Instant Pot.

I bought this steamer for my 3 qt insta pot and works like a charm 😊 It is lightweight with stainless steel material, so it won’t rust easily ! It is very versatile to steam veggies and Indian specialty called Dhoklas ! Perfect accessory for my 3 qt insta pot and excellent value ! 💯

Very well made and strong stainless steel stackable pots for my Instant Pot. Price was too high, but the quality was excellent. I purchased the size for the 3 Quart, Instant Pot Mini Duo and they fit perfectly.... Easy handles and easy to stack or just use one..... Arrived on time. Packaging could have been a little more secure though. Next time tell them to put the pots in a more sturdy outer box..... is my only complaint besides the too high of a price for these 3 quart. Vendor should price these less than the ones they make for the 6 quart and 8 quart Instant Pots..... Should be discounted because less material to make a 3 quart versus a 6 quart.... a greatly size difference, yet the price is the same????

I'd ordered these with a head full of ideas on how I could prepare meals in half the time by cooking the main course and side dish simultaneously. Experienced chefs will no doubt see my own inexperience in that statement for the simple fact that no two dishes ever cook at the exact same speed at the exact same temperature. Using to this to, for example, try to pressure cook rice and steam vegetables at the same time will result in undercooked rice or oversteamed veggies. I've had slightly better luck cooking a protein in the lower pan and rice or quinoa in the top, but it's still more of an art and less of a science to get it to all come together. The set includes two lids - one with holes for steaming and one without - but you only use one lid at any one time. The lower pot must always be fully sealed with the top pot acting as its 'lid'. This has the unfortunate effect of always coating the bottom of the top pot with whatever's cooking in the bottom, and it becomes a problem when you go to set the pots side by side so you can get at your food in both. Countertop mess is a given. The included sling handle is mandatory for getting the stacking pots back out of the Instant Pot's own inner pot, but using a pot gripper is highly recommended as the handle will be hot and will stay hot for a long time. It can also be a little tricky getting the Instant Pot lid to seat correctly since the handle will get in the way unless it's rotated to the proper angle. Separating the two halves of the handle/lifter so you can get at your food, especially without spilling the contents all over your counter, is a little tricky as well. All in all I'm glad I purchased this but I'm not able to use it as much as I'd originally hoped. It's more a selective use-case type of item rather than an everyday accessory.

These are beautiful pans! I purchased these for my 3 qt. Instant Pot. Fixed meatloaf and placed it in the upper pan, and made garlic potatos and placed in the lower pan. The food turned out wonderfully. Several years ago I bought a similar set of pans fot my 8 qt pressure cooker and have really gotten the use out of them. I wanted a set for my 3 qt. pressure cooker and purchased these ekovana pans. My 8 qt set was made by a different company and have worked well, but they are not as beautiful or quite as well made as the ekovana set. I hesitated spending more for the ekovana, but I am glad I did. These would make a lovely gift. They come in an attractive box and are packaged well.

There are very few Instant pot accessories for the mini so I was delighted to find these. They are more expensive than the larger ones, for the 6L for example and they had to come from America but it was worth it. They are great quality and I use them regularly to reheat frozen meal prep dishes. I was able to find some storage containers of the right size (plastic unfortunately) so I can just put the frozen "brick" straight into the larger dish and fresh veg in the smaller.

Very very handy addition for my Instapot. Works a treat.

I received these today ( I bought the 3 quart size to fit in my Instant pot mini) I haven’t used them yet but am writing this review right away to help anyone considering buying these Ekovana pot in pots to clarify a point of confusion. The description says 2 lids but some reviewers stated they only received one. I did receive 2 lids. One solid and one with steamer holes. See pic The pots and lids appear to be made of high quality stainless steel and are very sturdy. After I have had a chance to use them I will update this review but so far I am very pleased.

Used product, a lot of scratches! Box also looked like has been opened and resealed again. Unethical!

I'm so glad finally someone created a great product for the 3 Qt Instant Pot. I used it to steam left overs and it turned out so good. I can't wait to try steaming dumplings. I'm so happy I got this. Some products aren't available for the 3 Qt size but I'm glad that there is one that is really useful.
