Simple but Perfect
It's amazing how something small like this can make cooking so much easier. All cookers that I know of come with a little metal removable plate in the bottom that keeps the food from sitting and burning directly on the bottom. However, that doesn't work for everything. For example, I like to pressure cook whole chickens, and do it quite regularly. I've been having to use one of those little petal-type steamers to keep the bird off the bottom. With this trivet, it's quite easy to simply place a bowl or small plate on the trivet, and put the bird on there. And actually, with my larger cooker, I can use an 8" pie pan and it'll catch chicken juice at the same time. This also has worked well for baking potatoes, where you normally wouldn't want the potato sitting in the hot water.
Someone handy at the tool bench could certainly make one of these if they had the right material. But I'm not that handy. I'm delighted Amazon sells this and as usual I got great shipping...
Hard to find online.
This trivet seemed pretty flimsy looking, but has worked, as advertised, several times in my pressure cooker. There weren't many other options that I saw online, but it wasn't a problem because this tool works and is simple like it looks. I just set this trivet on the bottom of my cooker, add a tray and cook rice, pork loin etc. like a pro. It's a good deal.
