FAQs
What is the capacity of the steamer pot?
The steamer pot has a 28 cm diameter and features two steaming tiers, allowing for significant capacity for multiple food items.
Can I use this pot on an electric coil stovetop?
While primarily designed for induction and gas stoves, it may function on some electric coil stovetops depending on the specific design of the burner and pot base.
How much water should I put in the base pot?
Fill the base pot with enough water to generate steam throughout the cooking process, typically 2-3 inches, ensuring it doesn't boil dry before your food is cooked.
Is the stainless steel food-grade?
Yes, the pot is crafted from food-grade 304 stainless steel, making it safe for direct contact with food.
Can I use metal utensils with this steamer?
It is recommended to use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface.
How do I prevent flavors from mixing between tiers?
Ensure there is adequate space between food items in each tier and that the lid is sealed properly. Cooking foods with stronger odors in the higher tiers can also help.
Troubleshooting
Water not boiling efficiently
Ensure the base pot is filled with an adequate amount of water and the lid is sealed properly on the top tier. Check that the heat setting on your stove is appropriate.
Food sticking to the bottom of the tiers
Ensure food is not overcrowding the tiers and that there is sufficient steam. Lightly oiling the tiers before adding food can also help prevent sticking.
Discoloration on stainless steel
This is often a mineral deposit. Try boiling a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) in the pot for a few minutes, then wash as usual.
