Stainless Steel Steamer Basket

A perforated stainless steel basket with short feet and a folding handle, made to sit inside a pot you already own. Add an inch of water, lower the basket in, put the lid on, and any saucepan or pressure cooker becomes a steamer.

The feet hold the food above the water and the handle lifts the whole basket out in one go, so nothing has to be fished out with tongs. It is the simplest route to steamed vegetables, eggs and dumplings without buying a dedicated steamer.

Why you'll love it

• Uses your own pot — turns a saucepan into a steamer.
• Lift-out handle — everything comes out together.
• Raised on feet — food stays clear of the water.

Measure the inside of your pot before choosing a size. The basket needs a little room round the edge for the steam to rise.
