Chef steamer insert for casserole and stockpot

Stainless steel

Stainless steel as such is not a good heat conductor. Therefore it will always be combined with a highly conductible metal (like aluminium or copper). This conductible metal will mostly be found in the base surface only. In other cases you will find it back all over the body surface, which we call multilayer material. Utensils made of stainless steel have almost unlimited durability, withstand all usual food and detergents and have a neutral odour and taste. Stainless steel can resist temperatures up to 250°C.

25 Years

The inox parts of your Beka cookware are guaranteed for 25 years from the date of purchase, provided it is used as per the use and care instructions.

This means it will be repaired free of charge or replaced if any item is found to be defective due to faulty materials and/or manufacture, during household use.

This guarantee does not cover defects caused by negligence, abuse, commercial use and/or normal wear and tear.

A steamer or a steaming basket can be placed on top of a regular casserole. It has holes in its bottom and a lid can be placed on top of it. In the casserole you put water and in the steaming basket you put your food that needs to be steamed.

Steaming is a gentle form of cooking, suitable for a wide variety of foods, especially those which are delicately flavored or textured.

Light and well risen steamed and suet puddings can be achieved.

Vegetables retain their texture, as they are not boiling and certain soluble nutrients are not lost in the water.

It's an ideal way of precooking fish and chicken to add to a sauce, or for those wishing to cut down on fat, fish can be beautifully cooked in the steam without becoming too moist.
