Joseph Joseph Lotus Folding Steamer Basket Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This is an attractive-looking product that I initially saw in the MOMA design store. Unfortunately, it is much less attractive after it melts in the pot. The packaging claims that it is heat resistant up to 210 degrees, but it's not. Don't buy this if you plan to use it.

It melted on the first use while steaming some broccoli. Didn't run out of water or anything, it just melted under completely normal use. What a shame, cause it's really pretty.

Had it on the top rack of the dishwasher, and it was touching a metal tong and it deformed slightly. Weird, but no big deal. Steamed some broccoli and two of the flaps completely melted.

I guess its too much to assume a steamer can handle high temps. Piece of junk.

Honest reviews on Joseph Joseph Lotus Folding Steamer Basket

I bought this after reading the 5-star reviews and do not understand how it could be rated so highly. The first time I used it to steam some fingerling potatoes, it melted! Not just a bit but pretty much completely. (I posted pictures of it). I am returning it & returning to my stainless steel steamer.

This is the best steaming basket that I have found in many years. The old metal ones that I used at one time barely held enough veggies for two. Not this one. Yes, it is somewhat taller than those old steamers for three reasons: it's bigger, has longer "legs," and has a taller handle. The first provides more capacity, the second allows for more water at the bottom of the pot (you don't have to worry so much about running out of water before the steaming is complete), and the third makes it easier to lift it out of the pot without burning your fingers. On top of all that, it's pretty!

With all due respect to the previous reviewer, the problem was not that it's too tall. It was that your pot is too small. The dimensions are listed on the item's page on amazon.com.
