Abstract
The present application discloses a new steamer and steamer baskets that can be used with the new steamer. The new design provides a water-level window for observing the water level in the bottom tray of the steamer and an aperture for adding water to the bottom tray when the water level is low. Unlike a traditional multi-tier steamer in which food trays must be removed in sequence from top to bottom, the new design disclosed herein allows each streamer basket to be individually removed and placed.
