Steaming Whole Food (whole chicken, whole veggies, whole lobster, etc.) by wrapping it with hot vapor in an enclosed space is the best way of cooking: retains nutrition without loss of flavor.2. This elegant mirror polished steamer set includes 9.5" steamer insert, 8" steam pot, and 9.5" glass lid, easily meets a whole family's (4-6 people) daily need.3. Features 3 graduated ridges for better steaming results, and to fit many pots you already own.4. Great for cooking veggies, pasta, chicken, seafood, etc.3 GRADUATED RIDGES ON THE DEEP AND LARGE STEAMER FOR BETTER STEAMING & BETTER FITS1. 3 graduated ridges fit 9.5" / 9" / 8" tapered or straight pots and allow for a stable placement.2. Tapered 3-ridge design concentrates heat at bottom and creates the elevated steaming surface, ensuring quick and even heating.3. Perforated & 3-ridge design makes it fast and easy to drain water.NICKEL FREE HARM FREE1. Unlike most nickel-bearing 18/8 (Cr: Ni) and 18/10 stainless steel cookware on the market, our product is healthier because it contains no nickel, which is harmful to health.2. Stainless steel cooking surface does not react with food or alter flavors.FAQs1. Nickel-bearing 18/8 (Cr: Ni) or 18/10 stainless steel, being more corrosion-resistant, is commonly used for industrial purposes, but nickel is high up on the ATSDR list of priority toxins. Our nickel free steamer is made of food grade JYH21CT (21/0, Japanese Standard) stainless steel, which is non-toxic, non-allergic, thus more suitable for cookware.2. Oven safe & Dishwasher safe.3.Compatible with a 24 CM (9.5") lid (included).ATTENTION1. Prolonged exposure to acidic or basic substances may corrode stainless steel cookware.2. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, they will scratch the surface. Review: So useful - I like it too much for steaming the vegetables It is looking small but it is wide from inside it is worth to buy Review: High Quality Product - I was originally drawn to the HomiChef brand because it is higher quality stainless steel that is nickel free (21/0). However, after trying several of their products and being in touch with their customer service, I am a loyal customer. In addition to wonderful products, their customer service is phenomenal! This particular product was exactaly as stated and will be a valued part of my kitchen. I will probably use this steamer almost on a daily basis. It was easy to use, and I especially appreciate the fact that the pot that the steam basket goes on is so big. I have a big family and need to steam lots of vegetables at once, and this ensures that we won't run out of water/ steam before everything is cooked. Another bonus is the way that the steamer basket is separate from the pot and both can be used separately. In the pictures I'm attaching, the smaller pot is the one that comes with the set. However, I also included a picture showing that the steamer basket fits in larger pots as well. (The larger pot in the picture is a HomiChef 8 QT stock pot that I purchased in a set awhile back.) I can think of so many ways that this can be useful! It's also nice because in the purchase of a steamer, I also aquired a smaller pot that can be simply used as a pot. I also wanted to mention that I appreciate the design of the product. In the past, I have used the steamer baskets that fit all of the way down into the pot. In addition to holding less food, it is also awkward when pulling out the cooked vegetables. I burned myself more than once trying to pul the basket out of the pot. I apprecitate that this steamer basket sits on top of the pot rather than down in it. It makes it much easier to use (just pull it off of the top), holds more food, and, as I mentioned above, allows much more water to be held at the bottom to ensure that you don't run out of steam before everything is cooked thoroughly. I have already used this to steam vegetables and can't wait to try out the many other uses! Overall I am very pleased with this product. I highly recommend that anyone wanting a good quality steamer purchase this item. ## Features - WHOLE FOOD STEAMING IS THE BEST WAY OF COOKING - Steaming Whole Food (whole chicken, whole veggies, whole lobster, etc.) by wrapping it with hot vapor in an enclosed space is the best way of cooking: retain nutrition without loss of flavor. - This elegant mirror polished steamer set includes 9.5" steamer insert, 8" steam pot, and 9.5" glass lid - Easily meets a whole family's (4-6 people) daily need - 4.5" Deep 3-ridge steamer insert creates 5QT large capacity, great for steaming whole food. - FEATURED 4.5" DEEP 3-RIDGE STEAMER INSERT - Tapered 3-ridge insert is 4.5" deep (deeper than competitors of the same width) - Enlarges the steaming capacity to 5 quart; also concentrates heat at bottom & creates the elevated steaming surface to surround food for whole food steaming - 3 graduated ridges fit 9.5" / 9" / 8" tapered or straight pots and allow for a stable placement - The universal insert fits well with 4QT steam pot included in the set and possibly your other pots or pans. - NICKEL FREE HARM FREE - Made of food grade Japanese standard JYH21CT (21/0) nickel free stainless steel: non-toxic, non-allergic, and more energy savings. - Nickel-bearing stainless steel (e.g., 304 SS) is also commonly used for cookware, BUT nickel is high up on the ATSDR list of priority toxins (causing allergy and diseases), and nickel LEACHES under regular cooking conditions. - Nickel free SS is not only healthier, but also more heat-conductive hence more energy savings (12-15%). - ALSO VERSATILE AS DRAINER BASKET & TABLEWARE - The steamer insert can be used together with the steam pot as a well-sized drainer basket, thanks to its deep perforated 3-ridge design. - You can steam food in this steamer and then put the steamer insert directly on a plate to serve (making itself a sleek tableware). - This is definitely a time saver and allows you to use fewer gadgets in kitchen. - This elegant mirror polished steamer set cuts a fine figure both in kitchen and at dining table. - DEVOTED CUSTOMER SERVICE - Genuine HOMICHEF stainless steel cookware products, certified by ISO9001, BSCI, etc. - TRADEMARK filed in U.S.A. - In business since 1998 - This product comes with 1-MONTH trial period & LIFE-TIME Customer Service - You can always come to us for discounted parts, cooking consultations, and customer service at HOMICHEF store on desertcart. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0722QPTZZ | | Best Sellers Rank | #240,706 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #507 in Steamers | | Brand | HOMICHEF | | Brand Name | HOMICHEF | | Capacity | 5 quarts | | Color | SILVER - Mirror Polished NICKEL FREE Stainless Steel | | Colour | SILVER - Mirror Polished NICKEL FREE Stainless Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 666 Reviews | | Finish Type | Glossy | | Finish type | Glossy | | Is Oven Safe | Yes | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Diameter | 9.5 Inches | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 4.56 Pounds | | Item weight | 4.56 Pounds | | Lid Material | Glass | | Manufacturer | HOMICHEF STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE LLC | | Material | Glass | | Model Number | 40113 | | Number of Packs | 3 | | Part Number | 40113 | | Product Care Instructions | Dishwasher Safe | | Shape | Round | | UPC | 611714606565 | | Unit Count | 3.0 Count | | With Lid | Yes | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HOMICHEF - **Colour:** SILVER - Mirror Polished NICKEL FREE Stainless Steel - **Finish type:** Glossy - **Material:** Glass - **Shape:** Round ## Images ![HOMICHEF 5QT Large 4.5" Deep 3-Ridge Universal Steamer Cookware - Nickel Free Stainless Steel, 3 Ridges for 8"/9"/9.5" Pot - Steamer Insert for Pots and Kitchen Basket - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lM1w92LNL.jpg) ![HOMICHEF 5QT Large 4.5" Deep 3-Ridge Universal Steamer Cookware - Nickel Free Stainless Steel, 3 Ridges for 8"/9"/9.5" Pot - Steamer Insert for Pots and Kitchen Basket - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Y0FxiT7KL.jpg) ![HOMICHEF 5QT Large 4.5" Deep 3-Ridge Universal Steamer Cookware - Nickel Free Stainless Steel, 3 Ridges for 8"/9"/9.5" Pot - Steamer Insert for Pots and Kitchen Basket - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617mDpCVjoL.jpg) ![HOMICHEF 5QT Large 4.5" Deep 3-Ridge Universal Steamer Cookware - Nickel Free Stainless Steel, 3 Ridges for 8"/9"/9.5" Pot - Steamer Insert for Pots and Kitchen Basket - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eIYBNZn8L.jpg) ![HOMICHEF 5QT Large 4.5" Deep 3-Ridge Universal Steamer Cookware - Nickel Free Stainless Steel, 3 Ridges for 8"/9"/9.5" Pot - Steamer Insert for Pots and Kitchen Basket - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612JlT3FF1L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Product description and photos have a glass lid, yet review photos show a stainless steel lid. Which is it?** A: I'm sorry for the confusion. FYI, the lid of steamer has been upgraded to glass material. The visible glass lid is more convenient for cooking observation. **Q: Is this compatible with induction stoves?** A: It is compatible with induction, gas, electric, ceramic, glass and halogen stovetops. **Q: Is this tall enough for artichokes?** A: The steamer basket is 4-1/2” deep, plus the lid is domed. I believe it would handle trimmed artichokes easily but you may want to measure yours. **Q: Will cut green beans fall through the holes?** A: The cut green beans will not fall through the holes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So useful *by D***I on 4 February 2025* I like it too much for steaming the vegetables It is looking small but it is wide from inside it is worth to buy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality Product *by A***C on 19 November 2019* I was originally drawn to the HomiChef brand because it is higher quality stainless steel that is nickel free (21/0).
