How does a steamer work?

A steamer consists of a pan with an insert - you put the ingredients in it. Water goes in the bottom, which heats up and generates steam. The steam rises and cooks your dish evenly.

You can also steam without a steamer , for example with a colander over a pan of boiling water or with steamer microwave 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.
