Nest Steam three piece pod steaming set from Joseph Joseph

Newly released by household product specialists, Joseph Joseph, is this rather nifty Nest Steam three piece steaming pod set. It immediately caught our eye as it’s cleverly designed, functional and brilliantly easy to store.

Our current steamer is a big three piece affair, with a standard pan at at the base and two steamer sections that sit on top. It works well, but it does take up a fair bit of space in the cupboard.

The design of the Nest Steam is different in that it’s made up of three separate pods. You can use all three at once, add them one at a time at different intervals for vegetables that need different steaming times, or simply use just one of them.

The pods clip safely over the side of a pan (minimum size pan to use all three pods with is 18cm / 7 inches) and have non-slip silicone handles and pan rests.

It’s an ideal system if you want to cook several different types of vegetables at once, or small portions. The pods fit together comfortably in a pan and there’s till room to pop a lid on.

And when it comes to putting it away in a cupboard, it’s super compact and easy to store, as the three pods nest together in one. It can even be stored in a drawer, rather than a cupboard.

Voila, see why we like it?

The Nest Steam steaming pod set is available to buy direct from Joseph Joseph for £15.

Or you can get it from a variety of other retailers, including Debenhams (where you can currently get 10% off), House of Fraser (where it’s currently on offer with £3 off the price) or Lakeland.

What do you think – would this be the type of kitchen product you’d use?
