This product has won be known. It's a steamer which replaces a tupperware product worth four to five times its price. This product is manufactured in New Zealand and not in China. It is "BPA Free", the new standard. Very good quality plastic. Ideal for cooking vegetables for 7-8 minutes in the microwave. Perfect for fish and meats style steam Stew, stew, etc ... Finally, if you mastered the cooking times in the microwave that Sistema does it all. I recommend this product without reservation. I have bought two, is tell you. It is best to purchase the 3.4L model for more amenities.
