Le Creuset Stainless Steel Steamer

Do you want to steam cook in your 24 cm cocotte, in your 22 cm stainless steel saucepan or in your 20 cm non-stick saucepan? With the Le Creuset Stainless Steel Steamer, the choice is yours! Thanks to its clever stepped base design, it fits all Le Creuset pots, cocottes, saucepans and pans of 20, 22 and 24 cm in diameter. Elegant and very functional, its practical glass lid makes it the perfect companion for your healthiest, lightest and tastiest recipes.

This versatile steaming accessory is made from high-quality stainless steel. It has two elegant and wide stainless steel handles, which are a great help when handling the steamer comfortably and safely, even with oven gloves or pot holders. The lid not only complements it, but also improves cooking efficiency by helping retain steam and heat, making the results even tastier.

As you can see, its stepped base makes it stand out and highly functional, since unlike other steamers, you can use it in any 20, 22 or 24 cm pot, pan or cocotte, adapting to your needs depending on the amount you want to cook or the utensil you are using. You can use it either to steam food directly, or for multi-level cooking by stacking several steamers and making the most of the rising steam.

Although it’s mainly designed for steaming, it can also be used as a great colander or strainer whenever needed.

How to use the Le Creuset Stainless Steel Steamer

1. Add one or two fingers of water or broth to your 20, 22 or 24 cm pot and place the steamer on top.
2. Place the food you want to steam (vegetables, fish, baos, chicken, etc.) inside the steamer and turn on the heat.
3. Cover the steamer with its lid. You can skip the lid, but using it makes the cooking process quicker and more efficient as steam and heat are retained, cooking food more evenly.
4. Wait until the food is cooked and serve.

TIP! If you use broth instead of water for steaming, your vegetables and fish will be more flavorful because the steam will infuse them. You can also cook a stew or sauce in the pot below, and the steam will still do its job. You'll get super tasty steamed dishes!
