High-Efficiency Stainless Steamer

Dimensions: 22 cm diameter × 8.5 cm height; weight: approx. 280 g; capacity: designed for standard UK cookware (20–24 cm pot openings). Built entirely from certified 304 stainless steel — fully food-contact compliant, non-leaching, and resistant to acidic foods like tomatoes or citrus-based marinades. Perforation pattern features >180 uniform 2 mm holes — optimised for rapid steam saturation without condensation pooling. Two robust, ergonomically raised side handles provide full palm clearance from steam paths and pot edges. Surface finish is smooth, burr-free, and mirror-polished to inhibit bacterial adhesion and simplify post-use wiping or dishwasher loading. Engineered for consistent thermal transfer: steam rises vertically through dense, symmetrical perforations, enveloping food evenly — critical for delicate items like fish fillets or layered dim sum where surface drying or uneven doneness is common with poorly ventilated baskets. Its low-profile shape enables stacking inside taller pots or nested storage with UK-standard mixing bowls and colanders. Supports NHS-recommended healthy cooking methods: preserves glucosinolates in broccoli, folate in spinach, and moisture in lean proteins — all without added fat. Frequently used by UK home cooks preparing baby food, gluten-free buns, or post-workout meals where texture control and nutrient retention are priorities.
