Silicone Microwave Steamer for Cooking Fresh or Frozen Food

If you're searching for a safer alternative to plastic microwave steamers, look no further. Steaming is a quicker and healthier way to cook foods, and the key to getting the best out of what we eat lies in our cooking style as well. The rationale behind switching to this medium of cooking is that it maintains the nutritional value of the food being cooked, and it is easy to perform.

Introducing the Esie Houzie microwave vegetable steamer, a highly versatile, multifunction silicone steamer for cooking, steaming, and reheating a variety of foods more quickly and conveniently, including meat, fish, vegetables, and seafood. This steamer is safe to use, with a temperature range of -40 to 450°F, allowing you to microwave, serve, cover, and freeze the rest.

One common issue with silicone cookware is that strong flavors or scents can occasionally mix with food oils and sit on the surface. To eliminate this, you can soak the bowl or plate in a 50-50 mixture of white vinegar and water for an hour, or use lemon juice by soaking it in hot lemon water or rubbing a lemon over it and leaving it for 20 minutes before soaking in hot water. Alternatively, you can put the bowl in a saucepan of boiling water for 5-10 minutes to remove the smell.

The Esie Houzie microwave steamer is made of 100% high-quality platinum silicone, free of BPA and phthalates. Food does not stick to it, and it is easy to wash, either by hand or in the dishwasher. The silicone material stays much cooler than plastic in the microwave, and it is heat-resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

The attached lids allow for effective steaming and act as a splatter shield, though they might not close tightly. The two-part lid design doesn't get in the way of removing cooked food easily. The water under the ventilated tray at the bottom helps keep your food dry, yet allows steam to gently cook your food without soaking it.

For double-layer cooking, you can use the tray as a divider and cook in different dishes at the same time, on the top and bottom. For aromatic cooking, you can place sauce, herbs, or spices on the base of the steam case under the tray, which will then fragrance the food above. You can also remove the tray for "stew-type" cooking.

The set includes a large microwave steamer (9.45" x 7" x 4.33", 50 oz capacity) and a small microwave steamer (9.45" x 5.3" x 2.56", 25 oz capacity), making it convenient to store and easy to put away, as the small one fits inside the large one. An instruction manual is included, and it's recommended to clean each unit before first use, with soap and warm water.

This microwave steamer is a game-changer for healthy meal prepping or quick meals, as it cuts down a lot of time on steaming and cleaning. Whether you're cooking fish, vegetables, or any other food, the Esie Houzie microwave steamer is a reliable and versatile tool that can help you achieve fresh, healthy, and delicious results.
