Product Details Brand Norpro EAN 0028901001773 Manufacturer Norpro Model 177 UPC 028901001773 Availability Usually ships in 24 hours Features Diameter of large-capacity vegetable steamer expands from 7-inch to 10-inch Made of heavy-duty stainless steel with a three-pronged base No center post means extra room for more food, easier scooping Two side-handle loops for lifting It is Safe to use in dishwasher Product Description It's less what it includes than what it lacks that makes this Norpro vegetable steamer a cut above your average steamer insert. Without a bothersome center post, there is plenty of unobstructed room to steam entire heads of broccoli or cauliflower or full-length cobs of corn--and finished vegetables are easier to remove with a spoon or a spatula as denser veggies keep steaming. No need to slice carrots or pole beans beforehand--just plop them whole into the basket, which expands from 7 to 10 inches, depending on the size of the pot you set it in. The three-pronged base provides stability equal to models with center posts, but instead of one central handle there are two ring-style side handles. This is another improvement, as you don't need to reach into the middle of the steaming-hot food to remove the basket, and using the side handles supports the basket's shape rather than allowing its 'petals' to pop open flat upon lifting. The heavy-duty waffled segments hold tightly together during use and fold inward for compact storage. --Carol Gnojewski Accessories Hoffritz Stainless-Steel Mandoline Slicer Customers who bought this item also bought Trudeau Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer Oxo Good Grips Flexible Vegetable Brush Oxo Good Grips 9-Inch Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner Pyrex Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids Customer Reviews for: Norpro Stainless-Steel Expandable Vegetable Steamer Rating - Junky product Have only used a few times, and a couple of the pieces have already fallen off. Will be throwing in the trash as soon as I find a new one. Rating - Too big... It's large capacity, but it won't fit in a standard-size cooking pot. I had to use it in my bigger pot which seems rather awkward. Nice quality, and the lack of the center post is actually nice not to have. Rating - An inexpensive, easy way to eat healthier We wanted to buy a steamer so that we could incorporate more fresh vegetable into our meals. We looked at several options: electric, bamboo, basket and we kept coming back to this one. It's a great price (even better if it's still part of the 4-for-3 deal), it holds enough veggies for our family meals and it's easy to clean. We put it in the bottom of a 4 quart sauce pan, add about a cup of water and the veggies, turn to med high, put on a lid and steam until our desired doneness. see more reviews See More Norpro products
