Foldaway Steamer Basket

Foldaway Steamer Basket

Had this several years - and really so easy to use and sturdy. Fits all my pots except smallest. Only thing to note is that the wee lifty knob is metal and gets hot - so grab tongs or a towel first.
However sturdy, it cannot survive the impossible. I tend to wander off and have managed to boil pans dry. The basket survived years of such abuse until yesterday when I took it super hot out of a very baked dry pan, stuck it on a plastic chopping board and welded it there! Not unreasonably, one of the wee ball feet came of when I tried to unweld it.
Such a loss to my kitchen that I am immediately buying a new one.

I bought this little basket specifically for use in my pressure cooker and I have to say that it's excellent. It is perfect for the job and easy to remove and clean.
One point, when mine arrived, one of the feet was loose, so I called customer services to arrange to return it for replacement. The lady I spoke to told me not to bother returning it, but sent a replacement at once. I received it the following day. Tell me, who could ask for better service than that?!

Having a small kitchen I am unable to store kitchen items for every eventuality so this little steamer has just come into its own. I have used it to blanch 3-person portions of runner beans ready for freezing. It is so much easier than my old method. Well done Lakeland and thank you.
