## Description

WHOLE FOOD STEAMING IS THE BEST WAY OF COOKING1. Steaming Whole Food (whole chicken, whole veggies, whole lobster, etc.) by wrapping it with hot vapor in an enclosed space is the best way of cooking: retains nutrition without loss of flavor.2. This elegant mirror polished steamer set includes 9.5" steamer insert, 8" steam pot, and 9.5" glass lid, easily meets a whole family's (4-6 people) daily need.3. Features 3 graduated ridges for better steaming results, and to fit many pots you already own.4. Great for cooking veggies, pasta, chicken, seafood, etc.3 GRADUATED RIDGES ON THE DEEP AND LARGE STEAMER FOR BETTER STEAMING & BETTER FITS1. 3 graduated ridges fit 9.5" / 9" / 8" tapered or straight pots and allow for a stable placement.2. Tapered 3-ridge design concentrates heat at bottom and creates the elevated steaming surface, ensuring quick and even heating.3. Perforated & 3-ridge design makes it fast and easy to drain water.NICKEL FREE HARM FREE1. Unlike most nickel-bearing 18/8 (Cr: Ni) and 18/10 stainless steel cookware on the market, our product is healthier because it contains no nickel, which is harmful to health.2. Stainless steel cooking surface does not react with food or alter flavors.FAQs1. Nickel-bearing 18/8 (Cr: Ni) or 18/10 stainless steel, being more corrosion-resistant, is commonly used for industrial purposes, but nickel is high up on the ATSDR list of priority toxins. Our nickel free steamer is made of food grade JYH21CT (21/0, Japanese Standard) stainless steel, which is non-toxic, non-allergic, thus more suitable for cookware.2. Oven safe & Dishwasher safe.3.Compatible with a 24 CM (9.5") lid (included).ATTENTION1. Prolonged exposure to acidic or basic substances may corrode stainless steel cookware.2. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, they will scratch the surface.

Review: It arrived this afternoon and we put it to use this evening. The steamer portion is a very generous size - sufficient to hold broccoli/cauliflower for 12 people at dinner. The base pot is very nice with an excellent, thick and induction ready base. The lid fits well too. We got an email today reminding us to clean and prep the pot before using, and sharing lots of tips. Thanks, I'm going to see what else you sell so I might order something more.
Review: So happy! Have a couple other Homichef pans and a knife. Excellent quality and so beautiful. Last night steamed frozen corn with raw bok choy. Very quick and easy. Depending how long the steamer is on the heat, the handles may get hot so be careful and use pot holders I will use the steamer every day since I am a veggie lover. So far I have also steamed Swiss Chard, a portobello mushroom at the same time as fresh zucchini, fresh asparagus, frozen green beans, frozen pre-cooked shrimp to thaw, but I left them in the steamer too long and they became a bit chewy. Also the tails were too hot on my fingers to remove, so I dipped in cold water for a second. It was much better and quicker than putting the shrimp in a bowl with warm water. Maybe raw shrimp would work better. The strainer pot is large enough to spread out a few separste items and steam at the same time. Love this steamer. Can cook without worrying about a pot boiler over. It cuts down on having to wash multiple bowls and pots and veggies aren’t soggy from boiling. The 3 pieces are not heavy to lift. Easy to clean. I tried corn on the cob but it was taking too long so I dropped the cobs of corn into the lower pot of boiling water for a few minutes with some small potatoes. Very versatile cooking tool. The price is reasonable for 3-pieces of high quality cookware. Also it looks gorgeous on top of my stove!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Product description and photos have a glass lid, yet review photos show a stainless steel lid.  Which is it?**
A: I'm sorry for the confusion. FYI, the lid of steamer has been upgraded to glass material. The visible glass lid is more convenient for cooking observation.

**Q: Is this compatible with induction stoves?**
A: It is compatible with induction, gas, electric, ceramic, glass and halogen stovetops.

**Q: Is this tall enough for artichokes?**
A: The steamer basket is 4-1/2” deep, plus the lid is domed. I believe it would handle trimmed artichokes easily but you may want to measure yours.

**Q: Will cut green beans fall through the holes?**
A: The cut green beans will not fall through the holes.
