Steamer Insert ORION 23 cm — universal stainless-steel steaming tray for pots and pans

The ORION steamer insert with a 23 cm diameter is a universal stainless-steel steaming tray designed to fit pots and pans of similar size. It provides an elevated perforated surface that allows steam to circulate around food items without direct contact with boiling water. The insert is suitable for steaming vegetables, fish, dumplings and other items that benefit from gentle, even heat and moisture retention. Constructed from stainless steel, the tray resists corrosion and supports regular use for healthy cooking and batch preparation.

Advantages

Its perforated design promotes even steam distribution for consistent cooking results and prevents waterlogging of delicate foods. The compact 23 cm diameter makes the insert compatible with a wide range of medium-sized cookware and allows convenient stacking or storage when not in use.

How to use

Pour a small amount of water into a compatible pot — enough to produce steam but below the perforated surface of the steamer insert. Place the insert into the pot so it sits securely above the liquid, arrange food evenly across the perforated surface, cover with a lid and heat until steam forms. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer and monitor cooking time according to the food type. After use, allow the insert to cool, then wash and dry before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use moderate water levels to avoid boiling onto food and choose a lid that fits your pot to retain steam efficiently. For best results with delicate items, cut food into uniform pieces and check doneness periodically to prevent overcooking.
