Overview
KitchenAid's universal steamer basket is placed over boiling water in a pot, pressure cooker or multi-cooker. Its soft-touch feet raise it above the water and protect cookware, and the handle extends and locks.
One basket for several cookers is the reason to look at it, and the retracting handle lets the lid close for steaming. The limitation is cleaning guidance: the spec says hand wash only while the description says dishwasher safe, with hand washing recommended.
Who it's for
Cooks who steam vegetables over a pot of water and want one tool that works across pots and multi-cookers. The handle folds so the lid closes. Anyone with a very large pot or a small cooker should check the diameter first.
Pros and cons
- Handle extends and locks in place

- Soft-touch feet protect cookware
- Stainless steel construction
- Care instruction inconsistent
- Pot fit sizes not listed
- Capacity not listed
- Weight not listed
Performance notes
The basket stands on its feet above the water line, so steam rises through the openings and cooks the food without it touching the water. The handle extends to lift the basket out of a hot pot and retracts so the lid can sit flat.
