KitchenCraft Food Steamer Basket for Saucepans with Collapsible Design, Stainless Steel, Silver, 23 cm

Product Information

Without a sturdy structure, the silicone folds into a sling when lifted—which could lead to food shifting or falling out from the open sides. A great steamer should be a workhorse in the kitchen and convenient to use, with a handle that’s easy to lift and maneuver (either with an opening for a fork or a knob that can be grasped with 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. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. In design, it is nearly identical to the more expensive Farberware Professional Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer but includes a fork opening in the handle.

The most effortless to manage straight from the pot were the double silicone handles of the OXO Good Grips Silicone Steamer, which stayed manageably cool to the touch even after long steaming sessions. For households that mostly steam vegetables, a silicone bowl-shaped steamer is an easy-to-clean solution. 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.

During testing, we found stainless steel models to be more adaptable than the silicone and plastic models—not because of the metal itself, but because of the structure it provided.

OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Steamer with Extendable Handle: This model had a removable handle that was easy to maneuver with both tongs and a fork, but it suffered in the durability tests. Once expanded, the foldable petals of the stainless steel models offered additional surface area to set items without overcrowding.

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. Some models like the KitchenAid had petals that expanded down into a flatter layer, which made it easier to cook more food at once.
