-
Massive Capacity: The 18L size is much larger than standard 5L or 9L steamers, making it ideal for large households or "batch prepping" your meals for the week.
-
Compact Storage: Despite its large size when assembled, the baskets are designed to nest inside each other for space-saving storage in your kitchen cabinets.
-
Hygienic Cleaning: All steaming trays and the drip tray are fully detachable and easy to wash with warm soapy water.
-
Oil-Free Cooking: Perfect for traditional dishes like Steamed Matoke, Dim Sum, or simply healthy fish and vegetables.
Pro Tips for Best Results
-
Tier Placement: Always place the food that takes longest to cook (like chicken or root vegetables) in the bottom tier closest to the steam source.
-
Avoid Crowding: Leave a small amount of space between food items to allow the steam to circulate freely for an even cook.
-
Descaling: If you have hard water, occasionally run the base with a mix of water and vinegar (without the trays) to remove lime scale from the heating element.
