Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on non-stick pans?

Yes, the steamer features heat-resistant silicone feet specifically designed to protect non-stick surfaces from scratches.

What is the minimum pot size required?

The basket is compatible with pots that have a minimum diameter of 18 cm.

Is it safe to put in the dishwasher?

Yes, the product is fully dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.

Does it work in pots with sloped sides?

No, it is designed for use in pans with vertical sides to ensure the basket maintains a stable position.

How do I prevent the pan from boiling dry?

Keep a close watch on the water level during steaming. If the water level is too low, the pan can boil dry, which may damage both your cookware and the steamer basket.

Troubleshooting

Basket does not sit flat in the pan

Verify that your pan has vertical sides and a diameter of at least 18 cm.

Silicone components feel sticky after washing

Ensure all food debris is cleared from the fins and rinse thoroughly to remove remaining dish soap residue.

Difficult to remove the basket from the pot

Use the central easy-lift handle; if the basket is hot, use a kitchen towel or silicone mitt to grip the handle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with both non-stick and stainless steel cookware
  • Space-saving foldable design
  • Easy to remove with the integrated handle
  • Protective feet prevent surface scratching

Cons

  • Requires monitoring to prevent boiling dry
  • Only fits pans with a minimum 18 cm diameter
  • Must be used in pans with vertical sides for proper fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply expand the sides of the basket and place it into your cookware. Ensure your pan has a diameter of at least 18 cm (approximately 7 inches). For care, the unit is fully dishwasher safe. If washing by hand, a standard mild dish soap and sponge will suffice to remove any food residue. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads that might damage the silicone components. Most importantly, always check that there is enough water in the bottom of the pan to produce steam for the duration of your cooking time; allowing the water to evaporate completely can damage the basket and your cookware.
