Nutrient-preserving meals – With gentle steam cooking
Steam surrounds food at low temperatures compared with dry-heat methods, reducing nutrient loss during cooking. Stackable tiers allow different foods to cook by steam at the same time without mixing flavours.
Vegetables, fish and rice retain more vitamins and natural texture than with boiling or frying, making quick healthy dinners easier to achieve.
Cook a full meal at once – With three stackable BPA-free baskets and rice bowl
Three separated baskets stack over the water reservoir so steam can reach multiple layers; included rice bowl provides a dedicated compartment for starch. Stackable design keeps components organised for storage.
Vegetables, protein and rice finish together, reducing active cooking time and limiting the number of pans to wash up.
Safe, low-effort operation – With 60-minute timer, easy-view water level and auto shut-off
A visible water-level indicator shows required fill volume and a mechanical 60-minute timer signals cooking completion. Automatic shut-off activates on water depletion to prevent overheating.
Set-and-forget cooking becomes practical for busy days, while dishwasher-safe parts cut down cleanup time.
