FAQs
Can I use the pot without all three tiers?
Yes, you can use the bottom pot alone as a standard stockpot or stack only two tiers depending on your meal size.
Is the steamer dishwasher safe?
While the stainless steel is durable, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the material and handles.
Will this work on a glass-top stove?
Yes, the pot is compatible with all stovetop types, including induction, electric, and glass-ceramic cooktops.
What is the diameter of the pot?
The pot has a 30cm diameter, which is spacious enough to accommodate large portions or family-sized meals.
Do I need to grease the steamer tiers?
Depending on the food, you may want to line the tiers with parchment paper or a light coating of oil to prevent sticking, especially with items like dumplings.
Troubleshooting
Steam is leaking from the sides of the tiers
Ensure the tiers are aligned correctly and that the lid is pressed firmly onto the top tier to create a proper seal.
Food is cooking unevenly between tiers
Place items with longer cooking times in the bottom tier closest to the water source and items with shorter cooking times in the top tier.
Water in the base is drying out too quickly
Check water levels periodically if steaming for longer than 20 minutes and add boiling water if necessary to maintain steam levels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, wash the pot and all tiers with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge to remove any manufacturing residue. The unit is compatible with all standard stovetops, including induction. When cooking, ensure the tiers are stacked securely before placing the lid on top. Always use oven mitts when handling the pot while it contains hot steam, as metal surfaces will become very hot. After use, allow the pot to cool completely before cleaning. While the stainless steel is durable, avoid using steel wool or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. Hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the longevity and luster of the stainless steel.
