Healthy eating is definitely on trend. The preparation of meals is crucial in this regard. With the new steamer from Cuisinart, healthy ingredients such as meat, fish, vegetables, and grains can be cooked quickly and gently. The unique steam acceleration system generates powerful steam in the lower steam kettle in just 30 seconds, cooking the ingredients in the steam basket gently and without the addition of oil. The advantage of this method is that the intense flavor and essential minerals are preserved. Once prepared, the meals can be served in the heat-resistant glass steam basket with insulated handles. Thanks to the keep-warm and reheating functions, the dishes are always at the perfect temperature for enjoyment. For maximum convenience, all removable parts are dishwasher safe. Water capacity is 1.4 liters, with a gross capacity of 5 liters.
