4 Piece Zebra Stainless Steel Steamer Set (280mm)

How to Use the Steamer Set

Using your Zebra Stainless Steel Steamer Set correctly will ensure the best cooking results and prevent unnecessary wear. Start by washing all components with warm soapy water before the first use to remove any residual manufacturing oils. When preparing to steam, fill the base pot with clean water, ensuring the water level remains below the bottom of the first steaming tier to prevent direct contact. Too much water may lead to boiling over, while too little could cause burning if left unattended. Stack your food evenly in the steaming tiers to allow steam to circulate efficiently, then cover with the domed lid for optimal heat retention. Use medium heat to maintain a consistent steam flow, adjusting as necessary to prevent excessive boiling. For longer steaming sessions, monitor the water level and refill with hot water as needed to avoid interruptions in the cooking process. Once your food is ready, carefully remove the tiers using heat-resistant gloves or tongs, as steam can escape rapidly when lifting the lid. Allow the pot to cool before disposing of any remaining water.

Caring for Your Steamer to Last a Lifetime

With proper maintenance, your Zebra Stainless Steel Steamer Set can serve you for decades. After each use, clean the steamer with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge, avoiding abrasive pads that could scratch the stainless steel surface. If discoloration or staining occurs due to hard water buildup or burnt food, soak the affected areas in a mixture of vinegar and warm water before gently scrubbing. To maintain its polished finish, dry all parts thoroughly after washing to prevent water stains or rust. For extra shine, a baking soda paste can be used occasionally to polish the stainless steel. When storing your steamer, ensure it is completely dry and stack the tiers carefully to prevent dents. Keeping it in a dry, well-ventilated space will further protect it from moisture-related damage. With these simple but effective care techniques, your Zebra Stainless Steel Steamer Set will continue providing healthy and convenient cooking for many years, making it a timeless kitchen essential.
