Steam Release Diverter for Instant Pot, Pressure Cooker Accessories - Silicone Steam Diverter Kitchen Cupboards/Cabinets Savior (DUO/Smart)

I have the Instant Pot Duo Nova 8 quart and 10 quart. According to the chart, this is not supposed to fit my model of instant pot. I'm not sure why, except maybe because with the "authorized" models, the steam escapes through the steam release handle, which has a handle-or small projectile-on the button that can hold the steam diverter in place through the square holes at the bottom of the diverter.On my model, the Duo Nova, the steam is not released through the steam release handle, but rather through a weighted valve. This is a safety feature because on the older models, it was too easy to be scalded when trying to release steam, unless the user used a wooden spoon or similar device to push the steam release button. So they move the steam to the weighted steam release valve, and pushing the steam release handle is no longer a hazard in the newer models.So, the weighted valve on my Duo Nova has no handle or projectile to hold the steam diverter securely in place. The weighted steam release valve is also a bit wonky. It's not very secure where it sits, so the maker of this steam diverter may have assumed the steam diverter could not fit securely over the steam release valve.I knew when I bought this that I was taking a chance. But I figured it was worth the chance since I am willing to try anything to keep steam from ruining my cabinets.I bought the smaller of the two steam diverters. It can fit on the weighted steam release valve straight out of the box, and it will work if you hold it. However, I Vickyrigged it by folding the bottom part up to the top of the holes and slipping it over the steam weighted release valve. I uploaded a couple of pictures to show what I did. Since there are no projectiles on my weighted steam release valve, there is no reason to have the holes, anyway.With the bottom part folded up, this item works BEAUTIFULLY!! It shoots the steam straight into my sink! I discovered that I don't even have to push the steam release handle. All I have to do it hold the steam diverter at the base and slightly push it forward. The steam shoots straight out.If you have the Duo Nova, this will still work. I know, I get it. I don't like to "fix" products I buy before I can use them, either. But in all fairness, we aren't supposed to be buying this item for our model, anyway. If you don't want to fold the bottom of the steam diverter, you can cut it along the top of the holes; but I can't guarantee it will work as well as folding it. I think the "cuff" at the bottom gives the diverter extra strength and holds it in place more securely.

I placed an order for the 6.5 qt Ninja Foodie this week. I started watching videos & it was clear I was going to have a problem with the steam / pressure valve. On our old pressure cooker, I could simply turn my pc sideways before releasing the pressure. Because the Ninja is so large with the lid still attached, I knew it would be awkward to turn it to release the pressure without tossing my whole pc onto the floor.I just set up my new Ninja & attached this to release the pressure after the water test. It's not a snug fit and it doesn't need to be. You just slide it on and face it the way you want it. I have mine faced outward so I need to make sure one of my kids doesn't appear out of nowhere because it's directly aligned to a child's face. Also, I'm only sliding it on to release pressure & removing it afterward because other reviews have stated that it'll affect the unit building up pressure.I was pretty impressed with the gadget. Cheap & easy and steam isn't thrown all over my kitchen cabinets. It's small & can be tossed in the drawer when not in use. I highly recommend it.

I stopped short of 5 stars because this diverter feels a little loose and doesn't perfectly fit my Ninja Foodie but it does its job just fine... 4.5 stars :-). It effectively diverts steam away from my cabinets, instead sending it sideways and dispersing it into a larger area. I wish I had gotten one of these years ago since the length of the Foodie cord and size of my counters doesn't give me much to work with. This solves the problem very simply and effectively, and I like the black color to blend in with the appliance. It's easy to clean and easy to pop onto the machine, just be aware that it sits kind of loosely and will fall off when you lift the lid but, again, it does the job!

I like that I don't get burned when releasing the pressure and aims out into room away from windows and cabinet. Use my instant pot more now ...

Works good but it blows off as soon as steam starts to come out

Hook that puppy on top of the vent valve keeping in mind the position that you want the steam to vent and you are set to go. Genius.

This product works great to redirecting the steam away from my cabinet. Now the steam is vented outside. It’s easy to use and clean.

Impossible to slip on to release the steam. It's heavy and the steam will release while your trying to get this on
