Designed for small households, this 2-tier steam pot is compact enough for daily use yet versatile enough to handle a variety of cooking tasks. The bottom pot holds about 2 qt. with a 7 in. steamer basket that lifts vegetables, seafood, and dumplings above the simmering liquid. A clear glass lid lets you monitor progress without lifting to release heat. The handles are heat resistant to help prevent burns during busy kitchen moments. Constructed from food-grade stainless steel, the pot resists corrosion and is easy to clean, with a mirror finish that helps maintain its appearance after normal use. It is dishwasher safe, but not suitable for oven or microwave reheating. The heat is conducted through a solid base to deliver steady, even warming on different heat sources, including gas, induction, halogen, and electric stoves. Use the two tiers to separate steaming from simmering: place delicate items in the upper basket and sauces or soups in the lower pot. This setup is well suited for cooking a small dinner, preparing sides, or reheating leftovers while keeping flavors distinct. Overall, it provides a practical, compact solution for everyday steaming and light simmering tasks. It stacks neatly with other cookware. Color: Silver.
