It has no plug, and it fits the pan you already own · review
A folding stainless steamer basket for about $10 that expands from 6 to 10.5 inches.
A folding stainless basket that opens to 10.5 inches, with a removable 2.4-inch center post. It folds to half size for storage.
The listing says steaming retains more than 90 percent of nutrients, with no source. We do not repeat that as fact.
The Cuisinart basket costs $5 more and has an expanding handle. The KitchenAid has feet that protect your cookware.
