You guys, Instant Pot Steam Diverters are brilliant. Do you freak out like I do when your Instant Pot steam hits the top of your cabinet or blows a certain way when you do a pressure release? This is your solution!

Instant Pot Pressure Release

I have had my Instant Pot for a few years now and am still obsessed. My biggest annoyance was when I did a pressure release and the crazy amount of steam blows – typically hitting the tops of my cabinet.

This is NOT good. We had to have our kitchen remodeled and the last thing I want is unwanted moisture on our kitchen cabinets.

But guess what? There is a solution!
