Product Description
The problem with most stovetop steamers is that, due to the extreme temperatures produced by today’s high-efficiency woodstoves, the water boils away too rapidly. By the time we remember to refill the steamer, the hot stove has dried the air out again. Â Enter the soapstone steamer. Â One of the properties of soapstone is that it only heats to about 500 degrees, no matter how hot the surface it is standing on. Â As a result, water placed in a soapstone steamer evaporates much more slowly than water in a metal container, so we don’t have to remember to refill it so often.

- Should water run dry, steamer could be damaged
- If steamer is used on steel or cast iron stoves, a trivet should be used below the steamer
