I’m constantly hunting for plastic-free tools to streamline dinner prep, and a great steamer is a must-have since my picky kids will only eat their vegetables steamed. That’s why the Bakerpan Microwave Steamer caught my attention immediately. Constructed from durable, food-grade silicone, it allows you to easily steam dumplings, rice, veggies, and more without a steaming insert.
It is available in two sizes for under $30, making it the perfect microwave gadget I have been searching for. Plus, cleaning is a breeze because it’s dishwasher-safe!
What Is the Bakerpan Microwave Steamer?
Designed with a flexible, collapsible build for easy storage and a nonstick surface for smooth food release, the Bakerpan Microwave Steamer is safe for use in the microwave, air fryer, and dishwasher. Preparing food is simple: place your vegetables and a little water inside, then microwave with the lid on (a reviewer noted a potato cooks in just 10 minutes). You can purchase it as a larger single 1900 ml bowl — which reviewers mention is ideal for two-person meals — or in a four-pack of 350 ml bowls.

“BEST Veggie Steamer I’ve ever had!!! I can steam a pound of trimmed broccoli or other veggies in this pot in five minutes or less in only 2 tablespoons of water. Beautifully designed, collapsible for storage, easy to toss in the dishwasher! The base is a usable bowl on its own. Highly recommend.” –Charles T
