Lotus Foldable Steamer Basket For Steaming Food And Vegetable

An elderly friend has an old stainless steel steamer that she always put in the dishwasher. It had become rusted and discolored. After sesrching for a replacement for her, I saw reviews of stainless steel said do not put in dishwasher. She has vision issues and has difficulty seeing well enough to wash by hand. Then I found this product. It works great for her, no more rusting!

You might need a decently sized pot to fit this, but it works well, and silicone surface helps ot to be easy to clean. If there's only one other thing I'd like, maybe make the inside somewhat modular so you can adjust the size according to size of pots. Maybe snapping / connecting inner rings with these outer flaps, or such.

My apartment came with cookware that has Teflon coating- yuck. I don't have enough money to replace the cookware, so I bought kitchen accessories that are Teflon friendly.



I like this silicone steamer so much that I probably won't go back to the metal kind. It's sturdy, works just the same, and it's fun colors

This mighty steamer is awesome! Easy to store and use. Cooks evenly and adjusts to all my pots. Especially love it for steamed broccoli… no more soggy broccoli. I'd recommend this steamer.

I was searching for a steamer that was an alternative to metal ones because I don't do well cooking with metal. I researched a lot of steamers and came across an article mentioning this steamer was BPA free and highly recommended. So, I bought it. Several weeks in, I started feeling ill after eating dinner. I didn't know why. I steam vegetables every night. I finally went to my doctor who is holistic in nature, and he was able to detect plastic in my system. I couldn't understand how this could be since I am so careful about using BPA free products. In fact, the only plastic product that I use is that steamer and as soon as I figured out the connection, I stopped using the steamer and stopped getting ill. The marketing for this product declares that it is BPA free but I can assure you that once heated (and I didn't use excessive heat and it didn't melt or chip), that this plastic steamer is not BPA free. My body is the proof and the body doesn't lie. Do not purchase this if you are looking for a BPA free product!!!!

I really like this steam basket. Besides the lovely shades of green, it fits nicely into various pans. The handle is sturdy and makes it easy to remove piping hot items. I steam vegetables and whole sweet potatoes in it. The only complaint is I sometimes miss a string bean when cleaning as it blends into the color of the basket. However, that could be a result of declining eye sight and hand washing. It is dishwasher safe so that is a better cleaning method. I highly recommend this item.

This is a lovely blend of silicone protectors and stainless steel basket. It folds up easily and works exactly as you would hope. I think you could wash in the dishwasher, but I have been hand washing. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.
