Know before you buy
Yes, the 230mm steam plate is designed to fit most standard ceramic pots with a similar diameter. Just ensure your pot has enough depth to accommodate the 1.9-inch height of the plate while leaving space for water underneath.
The steam plate is made of 18-8 stainless steel without a non-stick coating. While ingredients like delicate fish or dumplings may occasionally adhere, you can easily prevent this by lightly greasing the surface or using parchment paper.
The plate features integrated side handles specifically designed for easy lifting. We recommend using heat-resistant silicone tongs or oven mitts to grip the handles securely when removing the plate from a steaming pot.
Yes, the durable 18-8 stainless steel construction is completely dishwasher safe. It is also easy to hand wash with mild soap if you prefer to keep it looking polished.
The raised edge serves two purposes: it keeps your ingredients contained so they don't slide off the sides, and it helps maintain a stable structure within the pot, ensuring even steam circulation around your food.
