THE BIG QUESTION ---> DO YOU NEED SILICONE FEET ON YOUR STEAMER BASKET? Answer: No, this is purely a marketing gimmick. Scratching of the inside of your Instant Pot is nothing to be concerned about, even if you are using a non-stick ceramic pot, the contact the basket will make with the pot is not like using a metal utensil against it. Cleaning your pot with a typical kitchen scrubby will be more abrasive than the normal use of a steamer basket inside your Instant Pot, and any scratching caused would be purely cosmetic in nature. Also, covered feet can create a food safety problem, as they aren’t attached to the basket in a water-tight fashion, effective cleaning underneath the silicone feet is not feasible without removal. As the feet are submerged in water for steaming or the food you are preparing itself (bone broth), build-up of non-sanitized food particles can result. This is also why our basket has only has 2/3rds coverage on the handle. With a full coverage handle, you can't clean underneath if food particles make their way under the edge of the silicone cover. This is solved by leaving space for the cover to move along the handle so cleaning can be done under the edges of the silicone as needed.
