Lakeland 2-Tier Mini Food Steamer
Product number: 31791
Steam two different foods at once – including eggs – all in a tiny footprint with our Mini Steamer.
Space-saving Design
We see a lot of steamers, of all kinds of designs, but one thing they tend to have in common is their worktop-hungry size. Not this tiny 2-tier one. Taking up hardly any space, its two stacking trays let you keep different foods separate while they cook, and its small size means it’s great for both individual portions and portion control – and really easy to store too.
What Can I Use it For?
If you like your food fresh, healthy and easy, steaming’s for you. It locks in nutrients, flavour and freshness – and unlike a lot of cooking methods, it doesn’t use any fat. Our electric mini steamer is ideal for steaming individual portions of veg, fish, or poultry, plus there’s a special insert which can be popped into either of the clear rectangular trays to let you cook up to 8 eggs at once - it even has special 'softness' options on the timer dial to help you cook your eggs exactly how you like them.
How it Works
Just fill the water tank, switch on and use the simple rotary dial to set or adjust the timer – it goes up to 40 minutes. Once switched on, the heating plate in the base heats quickly and creates steam which circulates throughout the stacked trays and cooks your food evenly for deliciously consistent results.

Absolutely brilliant - does everything a big one does but for one or two people. Easy to clean and store. Should have bought one earlier.
I’m very pleased with this small steamer. We have limited space for pots and pans and this is an ideal size. It’s great for boiling and poaching eggs for two of us. It’s great too for poaching fish without stinking the whole house. My husband loves fish and I hate it so this has proved very useful.
This seems such a good solution for one or two people as it is compact. I used it for the first time yesterday to cook sprouts for two. I set the timer for 15 minuets and the sprouts were OK but found that it had almost boiled dry. I thought it strange to have a holder for 8 eggs when it the machine is only big enough for 2 people. I would much rather have had another partition for just steaming. I have been shopping with Lakeland for many years and rarely have been disappointed. Sorry Lakeland.
Thank you for your feedback. we're sorry to hear that it's not gone as smoothly on your first attempt and can understand how disappointing this must have been. Although this compact steamer is perfect for smaller families, the egg tray that accomodates up to eight eggs at once to your preferenced of soft, medium or hard, enables you prepare for future meals such as cooking hard boiled eggs ready for salads etc or for when you have unexpected guests. We hope you'll be willing to use the mini food steamer again to explore how it best suits your needs but if we can help further with advice please let us know.
Lovely little steamer apart from the 8 egg tray . Product would have been better suited to 2 steamer trays . But I was prepared to buy an extra steamer tray to be told they don’t do spare parts !!
Thank you for placing your review. I'm pleased to hear how much you like the steamer and I've passed your suggestion on for additional trays so we can keep an eye on the demand.
I bought this recently, and I found lots of faults with it. Namely Why a place for 8 eggs when it is for 1/2 people. Would have been far better to put 2 proper steamer trays in. Also the water evaporates for too quickly, but it also lodges in the 2 silly little containers which just about hold shelled peas. Afraid I wasted £29.99 on this, it is now in the back of the cupboard. Up date No change on my opinion but my husband has drilled holes in the 2 daft containers and at least the water runs out now, no doubt I have now invalidated the the guarantee!!!
We're sorry to hear that you've been disappointed with this product. We'd be happy to offer tips on how to get the best results from this mini steamer, but please let us know if you've achieved better results since your initial attempt. Although the compact steamer is perfect for smaller families, the egg tray that accommodates up to eight eggs at once to your preferenced of soft, medium or hard, enables you prepare for future meals such as cooking hard boiled eggs ready for salads etc or for when you have unexpected guests. We do believe the changes you've made to this product invalidates the warranty but we'll be back in touch soon to discuss this with you. Of course it maybe that you'd prefer a larger steamer to best suit your needs. We have the Morphy Richards steamer Product number: 31727 at the great current price of £39.99.
