This is not only well made of 100% Japanese steel it opens and closes so smoothly. The best part of this is that it is 100% plastic free. I searched high and low for a stanless steamer basket w/o a single piece of plastic from the feet of the basket to the handle.
JAPANESE COOKWARE

That's why pots and pans from Japan have evolved into some of the best in the world today over centuries.Showing 19 of 68 products
