Steamer Klausberg KB-7137, 18 cm stainless steel vegetable and food steamer insert

The Klausberg KB-7137 18 cm stainless steel steamer insert is designed to fit into compatible pots and pans to enable gentle steaming of vegetables, fish and other foods. Its raised perforated surface allows steam to circulate evenly around ingredients, reducing direct contact with boiling water and helping preserve texture and nutrients. Compact and practical, the steamer insert is intended for small to medium portion cooking and everyday use in kitchens where space and versatility are important.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and a smooth, food-safe surface that is easy to clean. The 18 cm diameter makes it suitable for smaller cookware, while the raised perforations ensure consistent steam flow for even cooking. Lightweight and simple to place or remove from a pot, the insert supports healthier cooking by minimizing added fats and retaining vitamins and natural flavors.

How to use

Select a pot with an internal diameter slightly larger than 18 cm and add a small amount of water to the bottom, ensuring the water level remains below the raised perforated surface. Place the Klausberg steamer insert into the pot so that it rests securely above the water. Arrange food items in a single layer on the perforated surface to allow steam to circulate freely. Cover the pot with a lid and heat until steam forms, then adjust the heat to maintain a gentle, even steam until the food reaches the desired tenderness. After steaming, carefully remove the lid to avoid steam burns and lift the insert using oven mitts or a suitable tool.

Usage recommendations

Use filtered or tap water depending on your local water hardness; if scale builds up, clean the insert with a mild descaling solution or a vinegar-water mix and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool to preserve the stainless surface. For best results, cut food into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and check tenderness periodically to prevent overcooking.
