Pyroflam Borosilicate Clear Glass Steamer Basket, 20cm, White

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this PYREX steamer. I paid a lot for shipping from England but it was totally worth it - was even worth the weeks of shipping time! No where else can I find a borosilicate glass steamer like this one made in France.Here's the difference between European / French Pyrex and American Pyrex:Note: Pyrex in America is a totally different company from the European / French PYREX company! The brand in America is lower case: "pyrex®" in America - but the European company uses the upper case "PYREX®" trademark.The French factory uses Borosilicate Glass - which has awesome thermal shock resistance. It is what used to be used in the old days here in the USA too. Borosilicate is not going to "blow up" in your face unexpectedly. The factory where this stuff can be made is very very specialized - the heating processes are astonishing. The US Pyrex is currently made from ordinary soda lime glass - which is cheaper to make - the factory requirements are not as intense - but if soda lime glass is exposed to rapid changes in heat or cold it may eventually shatter.Sadly, the European PYREX isn't allowed to directly sell their products in America -- so we were stuck with soda lime only -- until a few resellers took up the challenge of offering these great products. So don't be shocked by high shipping prices or long shipping times - it's shipping from across the Atlantic, not from a warehouse down the street. Worth the hassle for me.

I have looked for a glass steamer insert for years for durability, no taste transfer and health reasons. This fits between a standard sauce pan and lid. Just perfect for steaming anything because the food does not fall through! Much faster cooking than collapsible steamers. More water at higher heat can be used.

It was exactly what I was looking for! Great quality, steams well. Fits very well on top of my Visions 2.5L pot.

love this steamer - much better than the metal ones

Use it for Steaming vegetables. Fits in my 5 qt vision ware pot. Same pot lid fits the steamer. Healthiest cookware is glass & dishwasher safe.

This thing is perfect! It fits on my Vision pot with lid perfectly and allows me to steam my foods so well. I love no having to use metal anymore. Glass is the way to go.

I used it to sprout seeds in them. I love this item. Well made. thanks

Great steamer from Pyrex!
