We found the silicone construction made it easier to handle after steaming was done since the material didn't get nearly as hot as metal. It does best with small pieces of food (like chopped vegetables) that can be piled inside the “bowl” of the steamer, as the walls do not easily fold down to accommodate items that need more space (like dumplings). The handle became wobbly after it was removed according to directions the first time, and the thin steel petals felt flimsy and floppy. The water level in the pan should be lower than the base of the steamer, otherwise the food will boil instead of steam. Most of our packaging is paper based and is non-laminated, which can be easily recycled or composted at home.
Some of the handles had holes built-in, perfect for slipping the tines of a fork into and lifting that way; others just provided a knob at the top to grasp with oven mitts or tongs. It folds out to rest in a pan - food can be placed directly on top of the steamer, or it can support a bamboo steamer for more traditional Chinese recipes. Martha Stewart Stainless Steel Folding Steamer Insert: This model was the most durable of all the ones we tested: the thick stainless steel barely dented when repeatedly dropped. It had exposed screw tops in the base which made cleaning harder and lacked both a true handle (it only had a thin key ring at the top) as well as protective covers on the metal feet to prevent scratches on the bottom of the pot.Missing or delayed items: Please note that we will need to wait 21 days before being able to trace, replace or refund lost items. In most cases, we found that handles that did not telescope were preferable to ones that may do so unpredictably, potentially causing splashes of boiling water or falling food. Compared to the other metal models, the polished stainless steel was thick and did not dent as much around the base during the drop tests. To turn your stainless steel saucepans or casserole pots into a steamer simply pour a little water into the pan or pot, place the steamer in the bottom of the pot or rest on top opening it out so it fits comfortably.
It also made it less likely that the food would shift while moving the steamer into the pot or during cooking, which could result in sticking or tearing of the outer layer on delicate items like dumplings. For example, some multi-cookers come with folding metal trivets that you can place at the bottom of the pot, then place a heat-safe plate on top before adding water to the bottom. When steaming there’s no need to add oil to the cooking process, helping reduce your daily calorie intake. Keep the lid on your pots to save energy, and for speed start with kettle boiled water pouring in after the steamer and vegetables are in the pot.During testing, the Joie Silicone Steamer could only hold five dumplings around its base; the average for the metal steamers was 16! The perforations allow the circulation of steam, while the clever collapsible mechanism helps to save space in your cupboards.
When you purchase from us, you can rest assured that you're getting a truly exceptional product that has been carefully crafted to meet your every need. This stainless steel vegetable steamer is perfect for steaming vegetables to retain as much as 90% of your food's nutrients whilst preventing vegetables from going soggy. We also looked at how easy each one was to maneuver while hot with either tongs or a fork (if the handle had an opening for one).The side handles can be interlocked across the top of the steamer during cooking and are cool enough to touch afterward, eliminating the need for tongs or a fork to lift it out of the hot pot. What we didn’t like: Like the rest of the collapsible stainless steel steamers, the KitchenAid required extra care during hand washing to remove every bit of food in the perforations and around the folding petals after each use.
