Smart Steamer

Picture
Revolutionary microwave steamer 

It's one of our greatest innovations — true steaming in the microwave!

The ingenious design of the Tupperware® SmartSteamer blocks microwaves from cooking foods. Instead, microwaves are directed to the Water Tray below, causing the water to boil and the steam to rise for perfectly steamed foods. Our unique, two-tiered system lets you steam one or two foods at once. Several great recipes are included in the FREE recipe book.

Steaming is one of the healthiest ways to prepare food because it retains nutrients, fatty acids and vitamins while preserving color, texture and flavor. And it's also one of the most delicious, too!

  • Includes 1¾-qt./400 mL Water Tray, Steamer Base, Colander and Cover.
  • FREE recipe pamphlet included.
  • In Moss/Guacamole.
The Smart Steamer keeps all the nutrients, and cooks in half the time! as seen on Dr. Oz
