Will I need a trivet?
Yes, you will need a trivet or steamer basket to sit the foil packets on. Make sure you put a cup of water in the bottom first. Many Instant Pots come with a trivet, but if you do not have one, try this one. You can usually grab one for less than ten dollars.
How many packets can I fit in the Instant Pot?
Depending on the size of your instant pot, you can fit several inside. If you have the the 6qt which is the most popular size, you could fit 5-6 hearty packets. A 3qt could hold 3-4 and an 8qt could fit 7-8 packets.
