Inserts are accessories used in pots and pans to enhance cooking versatility. They include steamers, baskets, and racks. Inserts allow you to cook multiple items simultaneously or prepare specific dishes like steamed vegetables or pasta. Choose inserts based on your cookware size and cooking needs.
Steamer inserts are placed inside a pot above boiling water to steam food. The steam cooks the food gently, preserving nutrients and flavor. Ensure the insert fits your pot securely and that water does not touch the food for effective steaming.
Inserts are available in stainless steel, silicone, and aluminum. Stainless steel is durable and easy to clean, while silicone offers flexibility and is non-stick. Aluminum is lightweight but may react with acidic foods. Consider your cooking style when selecting material.
Inserts are compatible with most pots and pans, but check compatibility with non-stick surfaces. Some inserts may scratch non-stick coatings if not used carefully. Always verify the fit and suitability for your cookware type before purchasing.
Many inserts are dishwasher safe, especially those made from stainless steel or silicone. However, check the manufacturer's instructions for specific care guidelines to ensure longevity and maintain quality over time.
