De Buyer Stainless Steel Steamcooker

The De Buyer Steamcooker is the ideal piece for a light, dietetic kitchen full of the real and natural flavor of food.

This colander, made in France in high-quality stainless steel by De Buyer, is a 24 cm diameter piece, designed mainly for steaming in any 24 cm diameter pot or roaster, while you can use it as a colander every day. as many times as required in the kitchen.

The De Buyer steam cooker adapts to all pots with a 24cm diameter at the top, and allows you to cook on multiple levels, superimposing several cookers at the same time (or you can cook a sauce or a recipe that requires broth or water, while in the steamer placed on top of the pot you cook some vegetables or fish with the steam that comes off from cooking inside.

It has a handle, also made of stainless steel, which will allow you to place and remove the steamer comfortably and easily.

How to use the De Buyer Stainless Steel Steamcooker

1. Put a finger or two of water or broth into the inside of your pot, and place the steamer in the pot.

2. Put the food you want to steam (vegetables, fish, some baños, chicken, grains such as quinoa or rice...) into the steamer, and turn on the heat.

3. If you have one, cover the steamer with a lid (you can use a 24cm universal lid, or this one from De Buyer). The lid is not essential, but it will undoubtedly cook faster, since it will retain the heat and help it cook on all sides more easily.

4. Wait until the food is cooked, and remove the food to a plate.

TRICK! If you use broth for steaming instead of water, the vegetables and fish will be tastier, because the steam that is released will flavor them. You can also be cooking a sauce in the bottom of the pot, and the effect of the steam will be the same - you will see that you get super tasty steamed food.
