Steel
steamer pans or pots are very deep with rack inserts and lids for
easy steaming of a wide variety of foods, especially vegetables. Made
from durable, stainless steel a steamer basket converts a pan or pot
into a steamer. Its hinged, petal-like sides enable the basket to expand
or contract to fit saucepans of various sizes.
Kicthen steaming pans
are uses to gently cook or warm foods, such as delicate sauces, to steam
vegetables, meat, and fish.
A small center post is used to lift the basket out of the pan after
cooking; small feet elevate the basket and its contents above the
simmering liquid. Steamers made of stainless steel have a bright, easily
maintained surface that provides a modern look and attractive
appearance.
