Microwave steamer for dumplings & vegetables

Water boils, searching for the steamer basket – and the dumplings are already soggy.

You reach for the bamboo basket that smells slightly moldy from last time, or put the large pot on the stove – just for six Bao Buns. The stove is occupied, the kitchen full of steam, the result: sticky bottoms or dry edges. The VaporLux™ microwave steamer puts an end to exactly that: fill with water, place ingredients, start the microwave – steamed and ready in 8 minutes, no stove, no risk of mold, no mess.

Benefits

• No stove, no dirty pot: The tedious boiling of water, washing the steamer insert, and the occupied stove top are a thing of the past – the steamer does everything compactly in the microwave.
• No more waiting for evenly cooked food: The ventilation valve in the lid automatically regulates the pressure, so dumplings stay tender throughout without dry edges or burst dough.
• No worries about harmful materials: BPA-free PP plastic withstands temperatures from -2 °C to 120 °C – you don’t have to check if the container is microwave-safe and can go straight from the freezer to the microwave.

How to use

1. Fill: Pour water into the reservoir, insert the steaming grid, and place food – dumplings, fish fillet, broccoli, or frozen food straight from the freezer.
2. Start: Put the lid on, place in the microwave, and cook at full power for about 8 minutes – no further settings needed.
3. Serve: Carefully open the lid from the vent side, remove the food, and rinse the three parts with clear water – done.

Pro tip: When steaming frozen Bao Buns, cook 1–2 minutes longer and hold the lid slightly tilted after opening so excess steam can escape before removing the buns – this keeps the dough surface dry and prevents sticking.
