3 must-have accessories for electric pressure cookers
Treat your electric pressure cooker to the latest silicone accessories. To protect it’s non-stick liner, and your precious fingers!
Silicone pinch-mitts. Getting under the lip of the insert and lifting it out of the cooker can be quite a challenge. These pinch-mitts are thin enough to fit under the lip and give you a good secure grip to pull the insert out of the pressure cooker without fear of it slipping back down and splattering dinner everywhere. In green frog, red rooster, blue dog and orange cat.
Silicone Steamer Basket. For all electric pressure cookers with non-stick liner, a silicone steamer basket is an essential accessory to be able to expand the cooking capabilities. Now, with the steamer basket the cook can steam and roast without worry of scratching the insert. The wider the steamer basket, the more vegetables you can fit in it. Do not get one with a center “stem” that way it can be used as a trivet in the pressure cooker as well! Also works with oval pressure cookers! In green or red.
Silicone-tipped utensils. Nothing is more delicate on the non-stick insert of your electric pressure cooker than utensils specifically designed not to damage the coating on non-stick cookware. This set as a uni-tool that scoops, strains, stirs, and scrapes – plus tongs that won’t dirty your counter! In green or red.

I never heard of “pinch-mitts” before! I can always count on you to show me what I didn’t know I needed.
Oooh.. you MUST own a pair!
Look into my eyes.
You need them.
You want them.
You must make silly puppet shows with them. 8)

Can I use a silicone steamer basket for stove top pressure cookers too?
Absolutely, they are heat resistant to 500F (260C) and your pressure cooker maxes out at 250F (120C).
Ciao!

is there anything you would recommend to use as a rack? I have recipes that call for a rack and oven proof containers, and i’m concerned about using metal ones in my electronic pressure cooker because i don’t want to scratch the inside all up. kind of at a loss as to ideas to use instead. any help would be appreciated.
Brenda, you can use a silicone steamer basket in place of a rack. I just realized all of the amazon links are missing from this story, will add them back shortly.
