Product Description
Le Creuset Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 7-Inch Steamer Insert with Glass Lid: Kitchen & Dining. Even more, it's oven-safe to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Measuring approximately 7 inches in diameter by 4-1/5 inches deep, this convenient steamer insert features a unique shape along the sides which allows it to fit all Le Creuset saucepans and 3-quart and 4-1/4-quart casseroles. To use, simply add water to a saucepan or casserole, and securely place the steamer over the water. Once heated, the water will release steam to healthfully cook the food inside the steamer insert--whether fresh broccoli and cauliflower, summer squash, fresh green beans--even tamales. Another thoughtful detail includes the insert's unique rim, which provides a specially designed pouring lip to prevent drips and spills, working equally well for left- and right-handed pouring. As part of Le Creuset's Tri-Ply Stainless Steel line, the cookware features a full aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of premium-quality stainless steel--from base to rim--for fast, even, all-around heat, eliminating hot spots and scorching. Its energy-efficient design also means there's no need to cook on high heat settings; medium and low heat work best for most cooking tasks. The unit's tight-fitting tempered-glass lid--with a steam vent, stainless-steel rim, and riveted loop handle--helps trap in heat, moisture, and nutrients, plus makes it possible to check on cooking foods at a glance.
