CHEF'S COMPANION Silver Adjustable Steamer Basket 28cm

Unlock gentler, flavour-preserving cooking with the CHEF’S COMPANION Silver Adjustable Steamer Basket 28cm—a fold-out stainless-steel basket that expands to fit a wide range of pots and pans and collapses flat for space-saving storage. The petal-style design lets steam circulate 360° for fast, even results, while sturdy, raised legs keep food lifted safely above simmering water so veg stay vibrant, dumplings tender, and fish moist and flaky. At 28cm fully opened, it’s generously sized for family portions yet nimble enough to perch in medium saucepans; load it with broccoli, asparagus, corn, bao, dim sum, eggs, or potatoes, then lift it out in one motion when everything’s perfectly done. A central lifting ring (or post) gives you a secure grip with tongs or a fork, and the smooth, food-safe metal won’t absorb odours or flavours, making it ideal for switching between savoury and sweet. Beyond steaming, use it as a quick rinse basket, a shallow colander, or even a trivet for hot pans. Simple to use: add 2–3cm of water to your pot, bring to a gentle simmer, unfold the basket inside, add food, cover, and steam to taste—topping up water as needed for longer cooks. Cleanup is easy with a quick rinse or top-rack dishwasher cycle; dry thoroughly before folding and storing. Pro tips: line with baking paper for delicate fillets, season the water with aromatics (lemon, garlic, herbs) for subtle infusion, and avoid high, rolling boils to keep textures tender and colours bright. Durable, compact, and endlessly useful, this adjustable steamer makes healthy, hands-off cooking a weeknight habit.
