It has no plug, and it fits the pan you already own · review
A fixed 17.5 cm (6.9 in) basket in 304 stainless with a handle, which makes it a steamer that can be lifted out hot — and a colander the rest of the time.
What we would actually buy The handle is the reason to choose this over a folding basket. Measure your pot first.
A fixed 17.5 cm (6.9 in) basket in 304 stainless with a handle and a perforated base, usable as a steamer, a sieve or a draining basket.
It is the difference between lifting a basket of hot vegetables out of a steaming pot with your hand and doing it with tongs. Fixed baskets with handles are rarer than they should be.
More capacity and better stability at the same diameter, and less flexibility. If you steam in one pot habitually, this is the better shape.
17.5 cm (6.9 in) is the basket. Your pot’s inside diameter is what matters, and it is smaller than the rim figure printed on the box.

A fixed basket holds more and sits more stably; an adjustable one fits more pots. If you steam in the same pot every time, fixed is better.
A common food-grade austenitic stainless — the same family as 18/8. It is a reasonable material for the job and it is not a distinguishing feature at this price.
