Can you put your pot on a lower counter and be seated

@jpmary2003 the height isn;t the problem, it's getting the liner out whle balancing and using only one hand. I'm deciding now beween the Pro and Pro Pluss because the handles have a gap that I'll be able to attach a single bucket-type handle to.

@chipsterdude I see what you are needing, but if you are seated can you use both hands to tug it out? I’ve never seen these other buckets,but they look great. Good luck with em!

@jpmary2003 Yes I can if I lean against the counter for balance. the problem is using both hands to move it from the table top next to the IP to my rollator seat. getting older is a literal pain, lol.

Maybe put the instant pot on something lower like an end table or coffee table so that you can sit and use both hands. Or get a tall bar stool and sit at the counter. I worry that anything one-handed may still cause you to be off-balance and fall.

@toastwithbutter That solution only gets the liner out of the pot. i would still need to transfer it to the seat of my rollator to take it to where I need it, tho. thanks anyway.
I'm going to get a Pro or Pro Plus and make a bucket-style handle I can attach between the 2 side handles.

Dee Sperling : May I suggest that you use a wheelchair in the kitchen. You can buy a good basic one on Amazon for well under $200. It would be cheaper than buying a lot of accessories for the Instant Pot as well as performing a multitude of other tasks that require two hands. That way you can have 2 hands free to lift things like the inner pot of the Instant Pot. I purchased two Drive wheelchairs from Amazon. They still have them for $150. It's a sturdy basic chair that works very well in my small mobile home with narrow doors. My kitchen is also small and it works very well.

@bmxman32 Thank you for the suggestion.
