Question from Steve Savitz

Are stainless steel food steamer inserts safe? I assume there wouldn’t be any nickel, aluminum, etc. Can anyone recommend a pot insert for steaming?

Debra’s Answer

Stainless steel is stainless steel, so steamers would have all the same issues as pans. Except short cooking time and you aren’t scratching them with metal utensils.

I have a bamboo steamer and I love it! Much more organic and less industrial.
