Steamer Basket

Inexpensive pot steamer. Well made, fairly durable and effective. The silicone coated legs will not scratch and damage your pots like other streamers with bare metal stands. One of which I had to replace since it was destroying the inner coating of my pot.

Pavsermy steamer basket is big and weighted basket.Very usefull for steaming variety of vagies. IT IS EASY TO USE & easy to remove becausw of extendable handle. It is aolid & durable.

This is a new version of the semi-standard folding-flower sort of steamer basket. It is solid stainless and of a slightly heavier gauge metal than I have seen in the past. It sports two nice features. Where a classic steamer of this sort would have a wee metal pole sticking up from the middle that would be the same height as the basket and have a small ring at the top, this one has a telescoping pole with a flat handle at its top. Closed down it is the same height as the basket. Fully extended it puts the handle several inches above the basket which should provide a more comfortable handle with which to pull it from a steaming pot. Though the pole when collapsed is no taller than the basket, it may be unscrewed from the steamer and will fit nicely inside the folded basket Additionally, rather than three, scratchy metal feet that you would not want to put in a non-stick pot, this basket has three folding legs, each covered with bright green and soft silicone rubber. They should handle any heat produced while steaming and, given that silicone rubber is good to 600-700F, should survive a reasonably brief exposure to full heat if you inadvertently boil off all your water. That is just my opinion, not a claim the manufacturer has made (that I know of). So, I find no cons whatsoever and several pros with this steamer. I like it and I will buy it again.

I like this steamer basket overall. The removable and retractable center handle is a nice feature. This is much preferred to those cheap rings you find in the center of a lot of these steamer baskets. I was a bit concerned when I saw that rust had begun to develop in the center where the handle screws into the center of the steamer basket (see photo). Note, this is only the second time I have used this steamer basket, hence the concern. Both times, it did set in water for about an hour before cleaning, but then it was washed and placed in a dish drainer until it dried. Because of the appearance of rust so soon in its life, I wonder about the long-term durability of this basket. As for now, how long it will last remains to be seen, but it is a bit disconcerting, and as a potential buyer, I thought it was something of which you should be made aware. Otherwise, it works just fine.

Stainless steel with collapsable feet. The feet even have cushions for use on non-stick pots. Folds up pretty compactly. It has an extendable handle, which is neat, but it's sort of hard to screw in. Not sure if you just heave it in all the time, but then it doesn't fold up so well. Seems fine in the dishwasher. Great for broccoli and cauliflower.

When I opened it, it looked extremely small but does expand to fit my medium size pot. I was able to easily fit a crown of broccoli. I'm super happy that it folds up so tiny because it saves so much space in my tiny kitchen. Bonus - I was able to do everything while holding my 9 month old with one hand. Make sure to screw in the handle all the way so your pot lids can fit on top. I immediately threw out my old bulky steamer. A kitchen must have !

Very smart and quality product. I use it for my child.

Would have been a great steamer, but it began to rust in the center within 3 uses. I dont feel safe cooking with a rusty steamer

I use this for steaming veggies in the wok. It works great and holds a fair amount of food. Pretty solid construction and easy to clean. I like it and would buy again

As shown in the picture it doesn't have that long rod to hold. And the legs are different. But it does the job

Es bueno ya que no tengo que poner mi bolillos a la lumbres directos con este se hacen blanditos, y si quiero solo que calienten los pongo en este producto
