KitchenAid Steamer Insert Advanced Stainless Steel ø 26 cm

Forget watery, limp vegetables or fish losing flavour in a sea of cooking liquid. With the KitchenAid Steamer Insert Advanced Stainless Steel ø 26 cm, you can steam as the smartest cooking technique in your kitchen - and you’ll taste the difference immediately. Crisp broccoli that truly tastes like broccoli, dumplings with the perfect bite, fish that remains tender inside. That’s how it should be.

Why Steaming is the Best Thing You Can Do for Your Food

Steaming is not a trend - it is simply the most flavourful and nutritious way to prepare vegetables, fish, grains or dumplings. No leaching of vitamins into the cooking water, no dry edges, no colourless vegetable mush. The hot steam envelops your ingredients from all sides and cooks them evenly, so they retain their texture, colour, and flavour. And with the KitchenAid Advanced Steamer Insert, you do it in a way that is also comfortable and easy to clean.

• Crisp and Colourful Result - Vegetables retain their bite and vibrant colour, making your plate look as good as it tastes
• Maximum Nutritional Value - Vitamins and minerals stay in your ingredients instead of leaching into the cooking water
• Safe and Comfortable Lifting - The sturdy handle ensures you can effortlessly lift the hot insert out of the pan without spilling or burning
• Fits Seamlessly on Your Pan - Specifically designed for the KitchenAid Advanced Stainless Steel Sauté Pan ø 26 cm - together they form a perfect duo
• No Hassle After Cooking - Dishwasher safe, so cleaning up is a breeze

Well Made, Smartly Designed

The Advanced Steamer Insert is made from high-quality stainless steel - the same material that professional kitchens have relied on for decades. Stainless steel does not rust, does not absorb odours or flavours, and lasts a long time with normal use. That’s what Cookinglife means by quality: not the most expensive, but the smartest. The perforated base allows steam to flow evenly so that every piece of vegetable or dumpling gets the same heat. No hotspots, no undercooked spots.

The round shape with a diameter of 26 cm gives you enough surface area to prepare a full portion - ideal for a dinner for two or as a side dish for the whole family. And because the insert fits perfectly on the KitchenAid Advanced Stainless Steel Sauté Pan ø 26 cm and you can simply cover the pan with the corresponding lid, you essentially have a complete steaming setup without extra equipment.

From the Heat to the Table: How to Use This

Add a layer of water to your 26 cm pan, place it over medium heat, and let the water come to a gentle boil. Place your ingredients in the steamer insert, set the insert in the pan, and cover with the lid. Vegetables are usually ready in five to twelve minutes, depending on size and type. Dumplings take a bit longer - keep in mind they will continue to cook after steaming. Once everything is cooked, use the handle to carefully lift the insert out of the pan. Be cautious - the steam released is hot, so always lift away from you.

And afterwards? Just pop it in the dishwasher. No scrubbing, no soaking - just in and done.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Add a splash of lemon juice or a few sprigs of fresh herbs (thyme, lemon balm or ginger) to the water in the pan. The steam carries those aromas and gives your ingredients a subtle extra flavour without you having to do anything. A small addition with a big effect - that’s cooking with a wink.

An Addition That Makes a Difference

The KitchenAid Advanced collection is designed as a cohesive system: pans, inserts, and accessories that all fit together seamlessly.
