Genuine Instant Pot inner cooking pot is stainless steel food grade 304 (18/8), with no chemical coating, 3-ply bottom for even heat distribution. The polished surface makes food stick less and easier to clean. Comes with inner markings at ½ and 2/3 for pressure-cooking safety.

Review: PERFECT for Pot in Pot cooking - I have an 8 quart Instant Pot. I bought this 3 quart pot for Pot in Pot (PiP) cooking. I've used it twice so far, both times for making rice. The 3 quart pot fits perfectly inside my 8 quart pot - plenty of room around the outside. It's easy to put in and take out. It doesn't "bake" the rice at the bottom of the pot. And it's a LOT easier to wash this little pot when making a smaller amount of something than the 8 quart! It's heavy-duty and excellent quality. All around, I'm thrilled!
Review: Excellent - Great quality!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What lid are people purchasing to fit this pot?**
A: I've had good luck with the silicone lids from Instaextras here on Amazon. I actually just bought another one for my second IP. They're the seafoam green colored ones.

**Q: Why buy this pot?**
A: Sometimes these pots can take on flavors from what you're pressurizing/sterilizing/cooking. For example, I sterilized some rye berries in the same pot that my roommate makes her yogurt in. She could taste the rye berries in her yogurt. The solution was buying a second pot for things that flavors don't matter for.

**Q: I see the markings on the pot stop at '10', which is 2.5 quarts, I don't see how there could possibly be room left for another 3.5 quarts in this?**
A: 2 cups water - 1 cup rice
I'm guessing that the 10-cup-mark informs one, both, of the maximum water level of the cooker, 20 cups, and the water level for 10 cups of rice.
Instead of necessitating one to count the entire 20 cups of water, and possibly miscounting, the Max-mark is preset, as a safety measure.

**Q: What is the size for 3 q qt inner pot?**
A: PS - the "maximum fill line" marker is placed at about 2/3rds the way up from the inside floor of the pot (about 3-1/2 inches).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent

Great quality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfect for double boiler and oatmeal!
*by S***Y on February 16, 2025*

This insert is a quality product (get OEM) and fits perfectly in my 6-quart Insta pot. If you have ever burned the bottom of your cooking pot this will prevent it. Set on top of trivit and add 1 cup of water before pressure cooking. Well worth the cost!
