Martha Stewart Richburn 10.6" Telescopic Folding Steamer Insert – Stainless Steel, Compact Collapsible Design

The Martha Stewart Richburn 10.6-inch telescopic folding steamer insert converts almost any pot into a durable, adjustable steamer for vegetables, fish, and more.

This compact stainless-steel steamer is designed to make gentle, waterless cooking accessible without special pans. The expandable frame fits a wide range of pots and pans while BPA-free silicone feet protect nonstick surfaces. An extendable nylon handle lets you place and remove the insert safely, and the mirror-finish steel resists staining for long-lasting use.

How does the telescopic design adapt to different cookware sizes?

The steamer's concentric, folding panels expand and lock to cover diameters up to about 10.6 inches, so it sits steadily on various pots and pans. When not in use it folds flat for compact storage.

• Adjustable diameter fits small to medium saucepans and stockpots
• Collapsible design reduces cabinet space usage
• Stable support thanks to three silicone feet

What materials and build features make it durable and safe?

Constructed from nonreactive stainless steel with a polished mirror finish, this steamer resists rust and reacts minimally with food. The BPA-free silicone feet and nylon-coated handle protect cookware and give a comfortable, heat-resistant grip.

• Heavy-duty stainless steel body for long-term durability
• BPA-free silicone feet prevent slips and surface damage
• Extendable nylon handle for safe lifting and placement

Which foods and cooking methods work best with this insert?

Use the steamer to gently cook vegetables, shellfish, dumplings, fish fillets, and reheating delicate leftovers without direct contact with boiling water. Steaming preserves texture and color while keeping foods moist without added fats.

• Vegetables: broccoli, carrots, asparagus retain nutrients and color
• Seafood: fish and shellfish cook evenly without overcooking
• Multi-use: reheating, dim sum, or blanching before freezing

How do you clean and store the Martha Stewart Richburn steamer?

The steamer is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup, or rinse and hand-wash with warm soapy water to preserve the mirror finish. Fold it flat and stand it upright or nest it with other flat tools to save space in your cabinets.

• Dishwasher-safe for convenient cleaning
• Hand-wash option for delicate care of the polished finish
• Compact folding profile makes storage simple
