The Cestari Kitchen Easy Pod will become your best friend in the kitchen. You'll find yourself using it to make omelets for breakfast, reheat leftovers for lunch, and to steam vegetables, fish, and chicken for dinner. The Kitchen Tool You Never Knew You Needed The Cestari Kitchen Easy Pod is nonstick, so even foods like roasted potatoes will slide right off onto your plate. In its pod configuration, it replaces parchment paper or foil for moist heat cooking; unfolded into a bowl, it serves salad or rice; and rolled up at one end, the Cestari Kitchen Easy Pod becomes a funnel to collect cooking juices for a sauce or a gravy. Most vegetables steam in under 3 minutes. Just add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the pod, add the vegetables, close the pod, and cook on high power until done to your taste. You'll need to experiment until you find the time that works for you and your microwave. Like all Cestari products, the Easy Pod is made of premium materials. We only use BPA free European quality premium food grade silicone in the manufacture of the pod, so you can feel confident when cooking for your family. More Ideas for Your Pod Steam vegetables like onions, peppers, and broccoli briefly first, then drain the water. Add eggs and cheese, and soft vegetables like spinach, close the pod, and microwave for about 1-1 1/2 minutes. Add a tablespoon of water to the pod, top the corn with butter and a sprinkle of sea salt. Close the pod, cook on high for 2 minutes, carefully open the pod, turn the corn over and cook for 1 minute. The pod is also a convenient salad bowl. Add lettuce, rinse under the sink, roll it up, and drain the water out the end. Open it up, add whatever other vegetables and garnishes you'd like and serve! From Our Kitchen to Yours Throughout history, preparing food and sharing meals with loved ones was the cornerstone of family life. Traditions were passed from generation to generation, allowing family members to connect with those who went before them. Modern life is busy, and dining together has become a luxury rather than an essential part of a family's day. Cestari Kitchen is a small family-run company based in Massachusetts. We can help you reconnect by providing high quality kitchen tools that streamline both food prep and clean up, leaving you more time to enjoy meals with friends and family. All Cestari products are crafted from the highest quality materials, with meticulous attention paid to details. We value you as a customer, and will do whatever it takes to ensure your satisfaction, starting with our product design process, and continuing after the sale has been made. We want to share the joy we find in cooking - from our kitchen to yours.
EASY VEGETABLE STEAMER Most vegetables cook in under 3 minutes in the microwave with only a tablespoon of added water. Add butter, herbs, and spices before you cook for a tasty steamed dish you can serve right from the pod. No need to struggle with a tipsy basket, pots, and a large quantity of boiling water in a kettle. Think beyond vegetables - you can cook any food that needs to be steamed in this pod, such as a tamale.
EASY OMELET MAKER Making omelets in the pod is simple! Steam chopped vegetables in the pod, add your eggs and cheese, stir, then microwave for 1-2 minutes for single serving of a fast breakfast on the go.
EASY ROASTER Use instead of foil or parchment paper to roast chicken, or meat and vegetables in the oven. Pouch ooking produces a moist and flavorful result. Open the pod towards the end to brown
EASY POACHER Use the pod instead of a pot to poach fish or chicken. Place fish in the silicon pod with a few tablespoons of broth, juice, or wine, and bake or microwave until done. Remove the fish, and thicken the juices right in the microwaveable pod for a flavorful sauce.

As a pescatarian, I eat a lot of fish and vegetables. I’m concerned about preserving nutrients, so do a lot of steaming in my older style metal vegetable steamer. It’s worked well, but does have some problems with stability, takes a while to heat up, and I sometimes find the metal interacts with more acidic foods and sauces.The Cestari Kitchen Easy Pod promised to simplify my life by allowing me to steam fish and vegetables in the microwave with a minimal amount of water and much less time than a stovetop steamer.The dishwasher safe silicone steamer basket, is heat resistant, microwave safe, and doesn't contain BPA. I really like that they used certied LFGB silicone, which satisfies European food safety standards – meaning that it has been tested to not transfer ANY chemicals into the food that’s being cooked.The microwave steamer has a flat bottom for stability, and rolls up for easy storage. I use a rubber band to keep it in a tight roll for compact storage in my tiny kitchen – I wish they included a flexible tie or ring with the product.The Pod unfolds into a silicone serving bowl, so you can cook and serve without transferring the food to another dish. This works particularly well for corn on the cob, as having a separate corn plate allows me to not worry about the corn rolling around and getting covered with barbecue sauce – it just sits nicely in its pod with some melted butter until I’m ready to eat it.This microwave vegetable steamer is more versatile than my older metal steamer. I like being able to steam vegetables in the microwave, then add beaten eggs for a quick omelet. That’s definitely something you can’t do with a stove top steamer. I also like being able to steam potatoes in the pod to start them cooking, then add butter and herbs, open the pod, and crisp them in the oven. I get nicely browned roasted potatoes in much less time, and cleanup is also easy.PROS:Steam in the microwaveCan start in the microwave and finish in the ovenRolls up for compact storageSatisfaction guaranteedCONS:None noted
