Innovative “Thin Steamer Basket” Concept
Traditional steamer baskets, especially bamboo ones, often pose challenges with storage space and maintenance. The ‘Foldable Silicone Steamer’ addresses these issues with its innovative design. It features a diameter of approximately 21 cm (bottom diameter approximately 17 cm) and sufficient depth to hold a generous amount of ingredients. However, by simply inverting the lid and stacking it, the steamer transforms into a slim profile of approximately 5 cm in thickness.
This compact design allows for stress-free storage in narrow spaces, such as drawer gaps or next to pots. The steamer is made from soft silicone, making it easy to handle and securely hold ingredients. Its bottom is equipped with fine holes that allow excess fat and moisture to drain away, trapping the natural flavors of the ingredients and resulting in fluffy, perfectly cooked dishes. The silicone material also makes cleaning significantly easier compared to bamboo steamers.
Versatile Usage: Pot, Microwave, and Refrigerator Storage
This steamer offers flexible cooking methods, requiring no special equipment. It can be placed directly on top of a pot on the stove, fitting perfectly onto pots with a diameter of 18-20 cm for stable use. For days when time is short, it can be used in the microwave by simply closing the lid and placing it on a plate. The steamer is also compatible with freezing, microwave reheating, refrigeration, and dishwasher cleaning, making it ideal for meal preparation and batch cooking.
When using with a pot:
- Arrange ingredients in the steamer and close the lid.
- Add an appropriate amount of water (or hot water) to your pot (18-21 cm diameter) and bring it to a boil.
- Place the steamer on the rim of the pot.
When using with a microwave:
- Arrange ingredients in the steamer and close the lid.
- Place the steamer on a plate that fits its size.
- Heat in the microwave.
Furthermore, by stacking two ‘Foldable Silicone Steamer’ units, a two-tier steamer can be created, significantly expanding cooking possibilities.
