The steamer insert is made of high-quality, durable plastic. The basket is versatile and practical. It is used to prepare delicious and healthy dishes: vegetables, rice, meat, or fish. Steaming preserves the natural flavor of the ingredients and minimizes the loss of vitamins and minerals in the prepared dishes. The strainer unfolds inside the pot. It has legs that keep its contents above the water surface; they also work perfectly when using the strainer as a colander or drainer. When the food is ready, it’s easy to remove thanks to the centrally located handle. After use, the strainer folds into a semicircle, which helps optimize kitchen space.
