Ceramic steamer keeps moisture in
When you heat vegetables in the microwave, steam is generated from the container, preventing the moisture from escaping and steaming the ingredients deliciously.
Make sure it is well hydrated
When heated, the water in the container generates steam, making the vegetables moist and fluffy. To achieve this, soak the container and lid in water for about a minute before using.
Spout for effortless draining
Moisture released from vegetables can be easily drained by sliding the lid slightly and pouring through the spout. For best results, drain promptly after heating to prevent ingredients from becoming soggy. Please take care not to touch the vessel directly with bare hands, as it will be hot.
