How does a steamer work?
A steamer consists of a pot with an insert—you place your ingredients in it. Water is placed at the bottom, which heats up and generates steam. The steam rises, cooking your dish evenly.
You can also steam without a steamer , for example, with a colander over a pan of boiling water or with microwave steamer inserts. However, a real steamer offers more control, efficiency, and comfort.
Also popular are the insert steamer or a complete steamer set for larger dishes or multiple layers.
Cooking without a steamer? Here's how.
No steamer at home? No problem! Here's how to steam without a steamer :
- Use a metal colander or sieve over a pan of boiling water
- Cover with a lid for steam circulation
- Or try a steamer microwave insert for quick vegetable dishes
- Please note: not all materials are suitable for high temperatures.
Prefer convenience? Then consider a compact electric steamer or a small steamer with an insert – practical and quick to use.

Je vult de onderkant met water, brengt het aan de kook en plaatst je gerecht in de inzet. De stoom gaart het voedsel zonder contact met water.
Ja, bijvoorbeeld met een vergiet en deksel boven kokend water. Toch is een echte stoompan veiliger, sneller en efficiënter.
Dat hangt af van je fornuis en wensen. De beste stoompan inductie is bijvoorbeeld van Demeyere of Le Creuset. Zoek je gemak? Dan is een elektrische stoompan ideaal.
