Safety Instructions
- Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot steamer components.
- Be cautious of hot steam when lifting the lid. Lift the lid away from your face to avoid steam burns.
- Ensure the water level in the base pot does not completely evaporate during steaming to prevent damage to the pot and stovetop.
- Do not immerse a hot steamer in cold water, as this can cause thermal shock and damage the material.
- Keep out of reach of children when in use.
- Verify that the steamer is stable on the stovetop before heating.
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all parts (base pot, steamer insert, lid) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Assembly:
- Place the base pot on a stable, level surface.
- If using as a steamer, place the steamer insert into the base pot.
- Place the lid on top of the steamer insert or base pot.
Operating Instructions
Steaming Food:
- Fill the base pot with water. Ensure the water level is below the bottom of the steamer insert.
- Place the steamer insert into the base pot.
- Arrange food items (e.g., vegetables, dumplings, fish) on the steamer insert. Do not overcrowd to allow steam circulation.
- Cover with the glass lid.
- Place the steamer on your chosen stovetop (induction, gas, electric, radiant).
- Heat the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to maintain a steady steam.
- Steam for the recommended time for your specific food. Use the transparent lid to monitor progress.
- Carefully remove the lid, lifting it away from you to avoid steam.
- Using oven mitts, carefully remove the steamer insert and serve the food.
Using the Base Pot Independently:
The base pot can be used as a standalone stockpot for soups, stews, or boiling, or as a frying pan for sautéing. Ensure the pot is clean and dry before use. Follow standard cooking practices for your stovetop.
Maintenance and Cleaning
- After Each Use: Allow the steamer to cool completely before cleaning.
- Dishwasher Safe: All components are dishwasher compatible. Place them on the top rack if possible to prevent damage.
- Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of your steamer, hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food, soak the pot in warm, soapy water before scrubbing. A paste of baking soda and water can also be used for gentle abrasion.
- Thermal Shock: Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pot under cold water) as this can warp the metal.
- Storage: Store all components clean and dry in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Food not steaming properly | Insufficient water, lid not sealed, food overcrowded. | Add more water, ensure lid is properly seated, reduce food quantity. |

| Water spots or discoloration on stainless steel | Minerals in water, improper drying. | Clean with vinegar solution, dry immediately after washing. |
