Quick answer
Use the Fissler Original-Profi Collection Steaming Insert to cook vegetables, fish, or dumplings by placing it in a compatible pot with a small amount of simmering water. The stay-cool handles make it easy to lift and drain.
Why steaming works with this insert
Steaming preserves nutrients and flavor without added fat. The stainless steel steamer insert fits multiple Original-Profi pots, so you can double or triple your cooking volume by stacking layers.
Oversized handles stay cool during use, making it safe to lift the insert even when the pot is hot. This is a practical advantage over smaller handled steamers.
How to steam with the Original-Profi Insert
- 1. Fill the pot with water: Add about 1–2 inches of water to a compatible Original-Profi pot. Do not let the water touch the bottom of the steamer insert when placed inside. Too much water will boil into the food, not steam it. Keep the water level below the insert.
- 2. Bring water to a simmer: Heat the pot on medium until the water simmers gently. A rolling boil wastes energy and can overcook delicate items like fish. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer, not a vigorous boil.
- 3. Place food in the insert: Arrange vegetables, fish, or dumplings in a single layer for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding to allow steam to circulate. Overlapping pieces may cook unevenly. Leave small gaps between items.
- 4. Cover and steam: Place the lid on the pot. Steam times vary: broccoli 3–5 minutes, fish fillets 6–10 minutes, dumplings 8–12 minutes. Check doneness early. Lifting the lid releases heat and extends cooking time. Use a timer instead of peeking.
- 5. Lift and drain safely: Grasp the stay-cool handles and lift the insert straight up. Let excess water drip back into the pot before transferring food to a plate. The handles stay cool, but the metal body can be hot. Avoid touching the sides.
