The Steam Boss
WHY AND WHEN TO USE A STEAM DIVERTER:When pressure cooking foods that can be quickly overcooked, such as veggies, rice, pasta, and corn, you will open the quick pressure release (QPR) valve in order to quickly release the pressure and steam from your pot. Most recipes will tell you when to use the QPR function.A steam diverter should only be used when performing a QPR and should not be permanently attached to your quick release valve. Regardless of a diverters leak-free claims, permanently attaching a diverter interferes with your IPs designed operation, affecting its ability to seal, build pressure, and may clog during use.
HOW THE STEAM BOSS DIVERTER IS DIFFERENT:
Pressure cooking is all about steam. The Steam Boss is engineered to be used with the operation and safety features designed for your pressure cooker, allowing efficient and proper release of steam during the quick release step. To accomplish this, The Steam Boss is designed to attach slightly loose and to be placed onto the quick release valve only when a QPR is required and after cooking has completed. This distinction stands The Steam Boss apart from all other diverters.The Steam Boss’s wide mouth design evenly disperses steam in one (1) direction, out and away from your cabinets. Please avoid gimmicky characters, PVC pipes, cheaply made knock-offs, 3D printed dragons, and diverters that shoot steam in two (2) directions.Use The Steam Boss to direct steam in one direction, towards a vent, out a window, or in any direction that fits your unique home kitchen or recreational vehicle (RV) space.
USE CAUTION – HOT STEAM RELEASED
Do not place face, hand or unprotected skin in front of steam.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
1. Use diverter when a quick pressure release (QPR) is required.
2. Slide diverter onto release valve and ensure vent area is clear.
3. Turn steam release valve to vent.

Very dangerous and flawed design – CS MIA This thing is scary to use! You can’t leave it on as it lifts up the pressure release vaulve just enough to let a small amount escape. So you have to put it on when you want to release pressure. So let’s say you want to do a quick release. You have to quickly and carefully slide the handle if the release through the hole and set it down. If you bump it the steam can shoot out onto your hand. It is a lot like playing Operation but instead of a simple buzzer it is scalding hot steam! It’s an…
Afraid to attach it to my 6 qt Instant Pot Lux right before venting, for fear of scalding… The Steam Boss seemed like a good idea for my Instant Pot Lux when I was reading the reviews. But when I went to use it, the instructions say you’re not supposed to “attach The Steam Boss until cooking is completed and venting is desired.” It’s a REALLY tight stretch to pry the thing onto the pressure release valve when the pot ISN’T cooking. It’s so difficult that I’m afraid that if I wait until it’s time to vent, the valve will pop loose during the struggle, and I’ll wind up getting scalded…
