Is this basket food grade stainless steel?

I have had this steaming basket for almost two years. This is my most used steaming basket for the pressure cooker since it is the largest that I have and holds more food than any other steaming basket I have. When I am steaming veggies or mushrooms for freezing, I use it multiple times in one day, and, in the two years I have had it, I usually use it at least once per week. With all of this use, there is not one speck of rust on it. I have others in the past that have developed rust on them, but this one has not. It looks to me like stainless steel, but I should mention I have never put it in the dishwasher. For my uses, I just wash it by hand and dry it.

Does this fit the 6 qt pot in the instant pot duo plus? my pot tapers in a little at the bottom and when i measure it is about 7".

Hello and thanks for the question. Yes, the basket will fit all 6qt, Instant Pot pressure cookers. The basket also has a taper to it and measures about 6.9" at the bottom.

What is the mesh size for the basket. Can it hold small items like lentils or will they fall through?

If I had to guess, I would say no, probably not the best idea. They may not fall through but if they over cook in the least they could get pretty gloppy and I would not want to have to clean the mesh!

Can I leave the handle on while it is steaming inside my Instant Pot?

Definitely!! I have the 8 quart size, and I use it more than any other basket I have. The handle is coated and doesn't seem to ever get too hot to pull it out of the PC. You can remove the handle if you want to, but I always leave mine on.
