Love My Instant Pot with Handles on the Inner Pot!

I just wanted to say that I love our 6-qt. Instant Pot that has handles on the inner pot. It is such a big help in getting it out of the base.

It also has a gentle steam vent that keeps it from spewing so much when steam is released!

It is the model Pro 10. Ours was the Pro Max or something like that. We've had it at least a couple or three years. So if you are shopping for yourself or a gift, you might not know that there are a few with handles on the inner pot.

I'll keep my old one, but those handles would be a great safety feature

I have a pair of these silicone mini-mitt things for gripping the hot inner pot to remove it. I think they were less than $10 on A

@Another new name Sue I had real trouble because the lip on the regular pots is so narrow. I thought it might help someone else, or someone they want to gift, to have them.

You don't hear about them very often.

Sure, it's good to know about that feature on new models. One hasto be very careful lifting out the liner pan if there aren't the handles. It's so small, even some hot pads would be too thick. It would be terrible to drop it!
