What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the RSVP Endurance Mesh Basket for its superior quality and reliability. The heavy-duty stainless steel construction and fine, durable mesh prove highly effective for straining small ingredients like quinoa and rice without loss. Reviewers frequently highlight its perfect fit and stability when used as a steamer basket in multi-cookers. This product is viewed as a long-term investment, validating its higher price point through exceptional longevity and resistance to rust or warping. While cleaning the rim area requires minor attention, overall satisfaction centers on its robust performance and indispensable utility in the kitchen.
Know before you buy
Yes, the 3-quart capacity and footed base make it ideal for steaming vegetables. Just ensure your pot is wide enough to accommodate the 8.25-inch diameter and deep enough to keep the basket above the water line.
The mesh is designed for general straining and washing, so it is best suited for larger items like pasta, greens, or chopped vegetables. It may not be fine enough to prevent small grains like quinoa from passing through.
The basket is crafted from durable stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust. While it is dishwasher safe, we recommend drying it thoroughly after use to maintain the finish over time.
The basket features a footed base, which provides a stable, elevated platform. This keeps the bottom of the basket off the counter, allowing for better airflow and drainage.
The handles are made of stainless steel, so they will conduct heat if the basket is used for steaming. We recommend using oven mitts or a kitchen towel when removing the basket from a hot pot.
