The Dependable Industries 2-Tier Steamer is designed for households that need to prepare multiple food items simultaneously, such as fish and vegetables, without them touching. This double-layer unit uses a standard polypropylene (PP5) construction, which is chemically inert and BPA-free. The two tiers allow for different steam exposure, making it possible to separate denser items like carrots from quicker-cooking greens.
Practical safety involves monitoring the unit during longer cycles. Because the walls are optimized for a lightweight footprint, using the steamer at maximum wattage for more than six minutes may affect the lid's seal. A rotational dial on the lid provides a basic vent for steam management. The low thermal mass of the plastic is a helpful feature, as it allows the unit to cool down quickly once removed from the heat source.
Specifications show a compact design that fits most standard microwaves. Manual cleaning is most effective for the perforated grates to ensure all food particles are removed from the small openings. This unit is an entry-level option for those looking to explore multi-tier microwave cooking.
For a more robust 2-tier option with a reinforced locking system, consider the Sistema 3.2L model.
