Collapsible Stainless Steel Steamer Basket for Pots

It is built to sit inside a standard pot. The flared rim rests inside the pot wall and the three legs hold the basket above the water. Choose the size that matches your pot, since the range comes in S, M and L.

For steaming, yes. The perforated base and walls let steam rise evenly through the food, and the basket never soaks up water or gets brittle. Bamboo needs a pot wide enough for its lid, and it does not fold flat or hold fruit.

The petals are thick brushed stainless and open on a single stem knob. Collapse the basket after it cools and press gently, and the accordion folds stay aligned. Forcing hot petals is the one habit that causes trouble.

Yes. Rinse the fruit, let it drain briefly, and set it in the open basket. The perforations keep fruit from sitting in its own water, so it stays fresh-looking on the counter.

One folding basket replaces a steamer, a fruit bowl and a draining basket. That is one piece in a drawer instead of two or three objects on a shelf, and you use it every time you cook vegetables or eggs.
