Healthier Cooking Choice: High-quality stainless steel petal steamer, food-grade plastic handle, and silicone feet ensure your health. Steaming is a healthy cooking choice as it helps preserve over 90% of nutrients lost when boiling or microwaving food. Use it to steam vegetables, seafood, eggs, meat, desserts, baby food, and more. Expandable & Collapsible: Collapses to 6 inches in diameter and expands to 11 inches when petals are extended. The folding wings adapt to various pot/pan sizes or pressure cookers, transforming any pan into a steamer. Opens like a water lily and folds compactly for space-saving storage, unlike bulky bamboo steamers. Collapsible Legs & Removable Center Post: Three collapsible silicone legs won't scratch your pot. They are 1.8 inches tall to keep food above boiling water to prevent burning. The 2.9-inch center post helps easily insert and safely remove from boiling water, and is removable for steaming larger items like corn on the cob. Remove cooked food with a fork to avoid burning your fingers. The high-gloss surface prevents food from sticking and makes cleaning easy. Multifunctional: Not just a food steamer, it also serves as a strainer or fruit bowl. Use it to drain excess water when making salads. From busy moms to college students to culinary artists, this is a must-have for anyone seeking healthier eating. Perfect gift for family and friends.
