Steaming Racks Australia

A steaming rack is a simple but useful addition to any kitchen that already does a bit of steaming. Rather than buying a dedicated steamer pot, a rack sits inside your existing wok, pot, or electric cooker and elevates food above the water level so it steams rather than boils. Small, inexpensive, and easy to store.

Hello Kitchen stocks steaming racks in a couple of sizes, including a replacement rack specifically designed for the Kylin electric multi-stew cooker.

Steaming Racks FAQ

What is a steaming rack used for?

A steaming rack sits inside a pot or wok and holds a plate, bowl, or food above the water line so it cooks by steam rather than direct boiling. It's a practical way to steam fish, eggs, dumplings, and vegetables using cookware you already own without needing a dedicated steamer pot.

What size steaming rack do I need?

The right size depends on the diameter of the pot or wok you're using it in. The rack needs to fit inside the pot comfortably while still leaving room for water underneath and a lid on top. Check the dimensions on the individual product page and compare against your pot before purchasing.

Can I use a steaming rack in a wok?

Yes, a steaming rack works well in a wok. Add water to the base of the wok, place the rack inside, put your food on a plate on top of the rack, cover with a lid, and steam as needed. A wok's wide base and depth make it a practical steaming vessel when used with a rack and a matching lid.

Is the Kylin steaming rack compatible with other cookers?

The Kylin steaming rack is designed specifically as an accessory for the Kylin Electric Multi-Stew Cooker 2.2L. It may not fit other cooker models. If you need a rack for a different appliance or a general-purpose pot, the Tamahashi steaming racks are a more versatile option available in small and large sizes.
