HIC Kitchen's Adjustable Vegetable Steamer quickly turns almost any pan into a vegetable steamer to make healthy meals with ease. Its footed design allows food to hovers above the water so they cook gently with steam. Unlike the boiling method, using a steamer promotes healthy cooking by retaining more of the food's fresh flavor and texture with higher levels of nutrients. No more leaching precious vitamins into the water and discarding them down the drain. Specially design with overlapping panels, the hinged Steamer inserts opens to 9-inches to fit various pots easily. It's perfect for cooking and reheating single or multiple servings. This deluxe kitchen Vegetable Steamer Basket is made from stainless steel with non-slip, non-scratch silicone feet.
