Pot Too Deep for Your Steamer Basket? These Racks Fix That.

Round stainless steel steamer rack with detachable legs on a kitchen counter, with a stock pot in the background.

If you have ever tried to steam vegetables in a deep stock pot, you know the struggle. The food sits too low. Water splashes up. You need a stable platform that keeps everything above the boil. These round stainless steel racks give you that platform in four sizes. Drop one into your pot, add water below the rack, and you are ready to steam fish, dumplings, tamales, or vegetables. For anyone cooking Cambodian or Southeast Asian food at home, a simple rack like this is a practical starting point.

Product Summary

This is a 4-pack of round stainless steel racks in four sizes: 7.6, 8.5, 9.33, and 10.23 inches. They are designed to sit inside stock pots, pressure cookers, and canners. You can use them to steam food, lift jars during canning, or cool baked items. The detachable legs raise the rack above the water.

Why We Recommend It

CambodiaRecipe selected this product because steaming is central to Cambodian and Southeast Asian cooking, from fish amok to sticky rice and fresh vegetables. A simple metal rack lets you steam food in cookware you already own, without buying a dedicated electric steamer. The four sizes make it easy to match the rack to your pot, and the multi-pack gives you options for batch cooking or canning.

Best For

This rack set is best for home cooks who steam food in stock pots, pressure cookers, or canners. It suits anyone who makes tamales, dumplings, vegetables, fish, or jarred preserves. It is also useful for cooks who want a cooling rack or a trivet for serving.

Things to Consider

The racks are described as stainless steel, but some customer feedback mentions the material may feel lighter than expected. The detachable legs can be fiddly to attach and may not lock firmly on every rack. Check the listed diameters against your pot before buying, because the largest rack will not fit a small saucepan. Clean and dry them after use to help prevent rust.
