It has no plug, and it fits the pan you already own · review
A 10-inch steamer basket with a locking extendable handle and soft feet that protect cookware.
A 10-inch stainless basket with a handle that extends and locks for filling or carrying, and retracts to fit under a lid. Soft-touch feet raise the basket above the water.
The feet and handle are what set it apart from the Sayfine and Cuisinart baskets. The table gives 6.4 x 6.4 x 2.8 inches, against the 10 inches in the title. That may be its folded size, so measure your pot against the title figure.

The listing says it works in pots, pressure cookers and multi-cookers. Measure first, as a 10-inch basket will not fit the Presto 6-quart unless it folds.
It retracts to fit in lidded pots while steaming, according to the listing.

Worth the premium if your pots have a surface to protect.
