The GoodCook Everyday Microwave Steamer is a lightweight tool designed for the rapid blanching of vegetables and the preparation of fish. It is made from BPA-free polypropylene, featuring a wall thickness of 1.8mm. This design prioritizes quick heat transfer, allowing steam to build rapidly within the chamber for faster cooking times compared to traditional methods.
The unit includes a perforated inner tray that is resistant to staining, though its narrow crevices may require a brush for thorough cleaning. The lid is equipped with a manual toggle vent, which provides a practical way to manage steam release. To ensure the longest possible life for the snap-fit latches, it is helpful to operate them gently, as repeated thermal cycles can affect the flexibility of the plastic over several months of use.
Specifications indicate the unit is dishwasher safe on the top rack. It is most effective when used for low-fat foods, as high-fat or high-sugar ingredients can create localized heat points that may affect the surface texture of the base. Its ergonomic design makes it easy to handle for users with high mobility needs.
If you are looking for a steamer with more structural flexibility, the Euchoiz Collapsible Steamer provides a space-saving silicone design.
