Know before you buy
This is strictly an attachment designed to work with the original JIA Steamer Set. It cannot be used as a standalone piece on your stovetop.
Stoneware provides excellent thermal mass, which helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. This ensures even heat distribution and gentle cooking, which is ideal for delicate ingredients like eggs, fish, or custards.
The poacher is perfect for recipes that benefit from gentle, indirect heat. It excels at making individual portions of savory egg custards, poaching delicate fillets of fish, or steaming small-batch desserts.
Unlike metal baskets that can sometimes cause uneven condensation or rapid temperature spikes, the stoneware construction offers a more controlled, steady environment. It mimics traditional Yunnan steaming methods to better preserve the moisture and natural integrity of your food.
While the stoneware is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the finish and prevent potential chipping. Always ensure the piece is completely cool before cleaning to avoid thermal shock.
