The Sistema 3.2L Microwave Steamer is a high-capacity vessel designed for efficient vegetable and protein preparation. It utilizes virgin polypropylene, a material selected for its balance of microwave transparency and impact resistance. The design features a raised internal basket that encourages even steam circulation around the food, helping to achieve consistent results in less time than traditional stovetop methods.
Practical safety features include the patented "Klip IT" locking system. While these hinges are built to handle daily use, the longevity of the clips is best preserved by avoiding over-exposure to high-fat foods, which can reach temperatures exceeding the plastic's optimal range. A manual steam release vent is integrated into the lid; keeping this vent open during operation is a necessary step to manage internal pressure and prevent the lid from warping.
Specifications show a generous 3.2-liter capacity, making this one of the larger options for families. The thermoplastic elastomer seal helps retain moisture, though it is recommended to remove the seal periodically for deep cleaning to ensure the unit remains hygienic over long-term use.
If your kitchen storage is limited and you need a more compact alternative, the Prep Solutions Mini Steamer offers a smaller 2-cup capacity for individual portions.
