ZWILLING, Plus - Steamer Insert

Steaming is a gentle technique usually used to cook vegetables. Steaming helps vegetables retain their shape, colour and flavour and since food does not come into contact with water, it is also a better way of preserving essential vitamins. Since the handles stay cool as you cook, the insert can be easily removed from the pan at any time. Fill your wok with water or vegetable stock and place vegetables or other food into the steamer insert. A lid can be used to stop heat or steam from escaping. This steamer insert can also be used in Asian cuisine to prepare fish, meat or noodles. The stainless steel warms the food up gently so that vegetables retain their natural flavour. Steaming is also a healthy way of cooking as no fat is required. The insert is also very easy to clean after use as its smooth surface is easy to care for and dishwasher safe. With the Plus steamer insert, healthy food, including fish and vegetables, can be prepared in an instant while locking in the vitamins: no kitchen is complete without one.
