The Vapor—Steamer Insert is a folding cookware accessory for steaming food in a standard saucepan. Its removable, push-down/twist-off handle keeps a cook’s hands from heat and allows the steamer to remain in a covered pan. The perforated silicone membrane, molded over a steel skeleton, is easy to clean and collapses like an umbrella to fit in a kitchen utensil drawer.
