An Instant Pot trivet is a stand with three legs that fits inside your pressure cooker. It can be made of stainless steel or silicone and usually has handles on top for easy removal. The handles are especially helpful if you’re cooking something heavy like a roast or a large piece of fish and need to lift it out quickly and easily. The trivet also helps keep food off the bottom of the pot, which prevents sticking and the burn error and makes clean-up easier.
