Collapsible Silicone Steamer
Product number: 71681
Folding flat, this collapsible silicone microwave steamer won't hog cupboard space when not in use, yet is always ready to spring into action for some really healthy cooking in either the microwave or oven. It makes cooking everything from peas to chicken easy, and as steaming retains more vitamins, minerals, flavour and texture than boiling, the meal on your plate will be extra tasty as well as extra healthy.
Not just easy to store, silicone really lends itself to steaming – it's heat-resistant, won't take on the flavour of your food, and is effortless to clean – there's no box it doesn't tick.
24cm Dia. x 9.5cm H. (excl. handles, 27.5cm incl. handles). Collapses to 4cm H. 2.4 litre.

First class product, does what it should do in a very convenient shape and style. Well made and very easy to clean and store.
Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store. I have made casseroles in this & have steamed fish & vegetables. I had to check the food I was cooking at intervals so I didn't over or undercooked it, but it was simple to work out the timings. The lid fits on easily & stays put, & the steamer does not collapse when in the microwave. It's a great time-saver if I don't feel like cooking a casserole slowly on the stovetop or in the oven, or don't have the time. Very pleased with it.
I steam all my veg in the microwave which makes the usual plastic brittle over time. This steamer works wonderfully and can be as big/small as you need. Only downside is there is no basket so retrieving your veg can be a little clumsy but this is due to it being collapsible so it's swings and roundabouts. All-in-all a great bit of kit.
Perfect for steaming things like beetroot in the microwave. Much quicker than roasting and less messier and quicker than boiling. Also really great for steaming other veg or part steaming potatoes.
