Stainless Steel Steamer Basket

Flexible Steaming for Everyday Meals

This compact steaming insert offers a convenient way to cook food above boiling water. The perforated base and side panels allow steam to circulate around the ingredients for even cooking without submerging them in water.

Use it for steamed buns, eggs, vegetables, dumplings, and other suitable foods. Its small size is practical for everyday portions and kitchens with limited cupboard space.

Collapsible and Adjustable Design

The overlapping metal panels open to create a wider cooking surface and fold inward for compact storage. This flexible shape also allows the basket to sit inside compatible cooking pots.

Its adjustable height helps accommodate different foods and cooking requirements. Once folded, it takes up far less space than a traditional fixed steamer.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

Made from high-quality stainless steel, the basket is designed for repeated kitchen use. The smooth silver finish is easy to maintain, while the perforated structure allows steam and excess moisture to pass through freely.

A removable tray provides space for arranging several food items during the same cooking session. The centre post includes a lifting ring for easier removal after steaming.

How to Use

1. Add a suitable amount of water to the cooking pot without allowing it to reach the food.
2. Open the basket and place it securely inside the pot.
3. Arrange the food across the perforated tray without overcrowding it.
4. Cover the pot and steam according to the food being prepared.
5. Turn off the heat and carefully lift the basket using the centre ring.

The metal may become hot during cooking. Use kitchen tongs, an oven mitt, or another heat-resistant tool when removing it.

Cleaning and Storage

Allow the basket to cool before washing. Clean it by hand with warm water and mild dishwashing liquid, or place it in the dishwasher for added convenience.

Dry it properly after cleaning, then fold the panels inward before storing it in a drawer or cupboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it require a special steamer pot?

No. It is designed to sit inside a compatible regular cooking pot. Check that the basket fits comfortably inside your pot before use.

Can I steam several items together?

Yes. Multiple pieces can be arranged across the tray, provided they are not tightly packed and there is enough room for steam to circulate.

Does the basket touch the boiling water?

The food should remain above the water. Add only enough water to produce steam without letting it rise through the tray.

Is it safe to lift immediately after cooking?

The stainless steel can become very hot. Turn off the heat and use tongs or a heat-resistant glove to hold the lifting ring.

Can it be cleaned in a dishwasher?

Yes, it is dishwasher safe. It can also be washed by hand and dried thoroughly before storage.

Does it fold for storage?

Yes. The side panels collapse inward, reducing the space needed in a kitchen drawer or cupboard.
