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. 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). Adjustable to fit most pans up to 23cm, this steamer helps retain natural flavours, colours and nutrition.

This won’t be a problem with your collapsible steamer, because it hardly takes up any space in your cabinets. Because the walls are slanted, capacity is limited for items that have to be spaced apart from one another, like dumplings. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this collapsible steamer insert is durable and resistant to rust, ensuring it will be a reliable addition to your kitchen for years to come. We also liked how large and flexible it was, making it great for steaming larger vegetables or even whole fish. We require images of the broken item and the packaging within 48 hours of the goods being signed for to process your claim.
