Know before you buy
The Steam Boss is designed with a universal fit for most popular electric pressure cookers, including Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi, Crock-Pot Express, Power Pressure Cooker XL, and Fagor Lux. It is compatible with 3, 6, and 8-quart models.
By attaching to your pressure cooker's steam release valve, the diverter redirects the hot, pressurized steam horizontally rather than allowing it to shoot straight up. This prevents moisture buildup and potential heat damage to the underside of your upper cabinets.
Yes, the diverter is crafted from high-quality, food-grade, BPA-free silicone. It is completely safe for use in your kitchen environment.
Not at all. The silicone material is dishwasher safe, so you can simply toss it in with your regular load. It is also easy to hand wash if you prefer.
No, the diverter is designed to be easily attached and removed. You can snap it onto the steam valve right before you perform a quick pressure release and remove it once the cycle is complete.
