OXO Vaporera silicona

This silicone steamer basket is a good fit for the Pressure King Pro 6 litre one pot. I bought it to use in addition to the shallow basket that comes with the pot and the two go together very well, doubling the area in which vegetables can be steamed. I was tempted to buy one of the cheaper versions, but read horror stories of them melting etc. I can recommend the oxo basket - it is good quality and performs well in the Pressure King Pro.

thought it was a bit bigger but still does the job handles big help

It does as advertised. the legs are a bit wobbly but the wife loves this steamer. No scratching of expensive cookers. Easy to clean.

Unfortunately this product has been a disappointment for me. I've tried it in different - sized pots and it always slips down. I haven't figured out a way to secure it to the top of the pot properly.

Delivery in one day rubbish.

I was looking for a good quality steamer that would last. I did NOT want rust.... I did NOT want something that would come apart in use. I wanted a steamer that I could easily use and that would not cause me any grief. I found exactly what I wanted. Now granted, this steamer is a bit on the "spendy" side compared to some of the little metal ones. But it has great handles and it folds and fits conveniently into smaller pots. It is very heat resistant and works just as good as it looks. I tried it in a smallish 2 quart pot and it fit okay. The sides fold in on themselves and allow it to work as designed...although the capacity is reduced when used like this. If you use it in a larger pot, it holds more.. I found I could manage the handles without burning myself as long as I was careful. The steamer holds its shape well as long as YOU hold onto both handles. It has room for about one inch of water under the steamer....which is plenty for most applications as long as you watch it and don't allow it to cook completely dry. I would prefer to have slightly longer legs, but if you added additional length there, it would cause the overall height to stick up more and possibly interfere with the lid.... So it's a tradeoff. I will gladly accept it the way it is. This steamer is best used in a larger pot than I use. A three or four quart pot would allow more internal room for food, keep the overall height usable, and allow more volume for steaming water. NOTE: This steamer is a rubber material (Silicone..). If you don't observe due diligence and you allow the pot to boil dry..... Well, your steamer will not survive that much dry heat. While there is water in the pot, the actual temperature inside the pot is limited to the boiling point of water (more or less... there is a temperature variation called "latent heat")...which keeps the silicone from self-destructing. If the pot boils dry, the temperature rapidly goes up and the silicone will eventually melt to the pot. It really doesn't take very long to steam most things, so just watch it while it is on the stove and you will not have any problems. So, five stars for a well conceived and well constructed item. It does the job, and does it well. If you don't mind paying a little more for a better "mousetrap", then you will really like this steamer. Nice item...

I use this in my pressure cooker on steam function as a cradle for veggies and fish (with foil lining). Works well.

Utilisé une seule fois pour le moment, pour faire du chou-fleur au Cookeo. Il n'avait pas l'air très grand sur le site, mais je me suis fiée aux commentaires clients et ne suis pas déçue de la contenance. J'avais hésité avec un autre modèle "lotus" à un prix bien moindre, mais j'ai préféré celui-là pour ses bords recourbés, ce qui donne un panier assez profond. Même en le remplissant complètement, la cuisson est uniforme. Les anses sont très pratiques pour extraire le panier du Cookeo. Se lave et se range très facilement. A voir sur la durée...

I like it but find it hard to remove from my 6 quart instant pot because it fits so snugly. So I'd have to wait til the pot cools down a little before removing, or risk getting scalded.

Personalmente considero que es más práctico tener un aditamento como este que se adecúa a cualquier olla que comprar una vaporera. Es muy fácil de manejar, las asas se entrelazan, para guardarla es muy práctica, al ponerla sobre la olla por ser de silicón no raya la olla, por la forma que tiene se adapta a ollas más pequeñas o mas grandes, la canasta donde se ponen los vegetales no es muy grande, pero yo necesito algo para 2 personas por lo que se me hace excelente, creo (calculando) que para 4 personas es perfecta. Deja los vegetales muy bien y con colores intensos lo cual invita a comerlos y a usarla! Los puedes cocinar tan crujientes o cocidos como prefieras. La he usado 3 veces y siempre han salido bien, espero que dure mucho. Por la marca supongo que así será
