Stainless steel steaming basket KingHoff KH 3313 with a diameter of 28 cm is designed to steam vegetables, fish, dumplings and other foods evenly while preserving flavor and nutrients. The basket fits pots with a compatible diameter and features folding, adjustable petals that expand to support food and collapse for easy removal and compact storage. Made of stainless steel, the basket resists corrosion and transfers steam efficiently for gentle cooking.

Advantages

The folding petal design enables stable placement in a range of pot sizes and simple extraction of hot food without spilling. Stainless steel construction offers durable, rust-resistant performance and simple cleaning. The wide ø28 cm working area allows steaming larger portions or several items at once, and the raised base keeps food above boiling water to prevent burning while maintaining texture and vitamins.

How to use

Place the folding basket inside a pot with enough water to generate steam without touching the food. Expand the petals so the basket rests stably on the pot rim and arrange food in a single layer where possible for even cooking. Cover the pot with a lid and heat until steam forms; cook according to ingredient-specific times. After steaming, remove the lid carefully to avoid steam burns and lift the basket by its rim or handles; allow excess water to drain before transferring food to a serving dish. Collapse the petals for compact storage and wash the basket after cooling.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use filtered or tap water, avoid overfilling the pot, and arrange ingredients in a single layer to ensure uniform steam circulation. Clean the basket with warm soapy water or in the top rack of a dishwasher if compatible with your diswasher's size and cycle. Inspect the basket for food residues after each use to maintain hygiene and prolong service life.
