Design Notes
The Steamer Insert 18cm is designed for the 316 Series Cookware range. Made from high quality 18/10 stainless steel the steamer insert perfectly fits the 316 Series Saucepan 18cm / 3.0L.
The steamer insert can be paired with the saucepan for steaming a healthy meal of vegetables, meat or fish. It can also be used as a handy standalone colander.
Steaming is an incredibly healthy way to cook vegetables as it retains more nutrients and fish, and chicken are cooked without added fats. Steamer inserts are sold separately and can be stacked in multiple layers for efficient cooking.
The Steamer Insert 18cm is part of the 316 Series Cookware Series. The saucepans, frying pans, woks and low casserole in this range are crafted with a tri-ply construction. Two layers of high-grade stainless steel fully encapsulate a responsive aluminium core that extends throughout the pan from base to rim, ensuring rapid, even heat distribution.
Dishwasher safe and backed by a 25-year lifetime guarantee.

Product Care & How-to Guides
![]()
Dishwasher safe
• For best results, use a hot cycle at 65°-75°C (150°-167°F) with quality all-in-one tablets such as Fairy Platinum Plus (Cascade Platinum Plus in the US) or Finish Quantum Powerball.
• We recommend avoiding ‘eco mode’, as its lower water temperature may not fully dissolve or activate the detergent, which can result in residue, leaving your cookware with stains or a dull finish.
Handwashing
• Allow your cookware to cool prior to cleaning.
• Soak in warm, soapy water, then wash with a sponge or soft cloth. Gently use a nylon or stainless-steel scourer for more stubborn marks. Rinse with warm water and dry immediately.
• To restore shine and remove blemishes, use a non-abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keepers Friend powder and a micro fibre cloth.
• To remove 'rainbow’ discolouration, wipe the pan with a soft cloth and diluted white vinegar, rinse, and dry. For cloudy white hard water spots, remove by boiling a 1:3 white vinegar to water solution. If the spots persist, try increasing the ratio of vinegar to water to 1:2.
• Avoid oven cleaners, steel/wire wool, and harsh detergents containing bleach or peroxide.
• Never place your hot cookware in or under cold water, as it could cause warping.
• Do not use your cookware for storing or marinating food.
