This is an aluminum alloy steaming plate, designed to support steaming preparation.
Simply place the steaming plate over a pot or pan, then place a bamboo steamer on top.
When using a Chinese-style steamer, if the pot is smaller than the steamer, the bottom of the steamer may get scorched by direct heat from the burner.
On the other hand, if the pot is too large, the steamer may slip inside, making it difficult to steam properly.
This steaming plate acts as a stable platform between the pot and the steamer, allowing you to position the steamer securely over the pot.
Since it comes in different sizes, please check the diameter of your pot and steamer to select the best-fitting size.
This page features six sizes, from 18cm (7.09″) to 33cm (12.99″) in diameter.
There is a slight step around the rim of the steaming plate.This is the view from above. Place the steamer so that its bottom fits snugly within this inner step.This is the underside of the steaming plate. The surface is anodized to protect the aluminum.This stepped edge is designed to rest on the rim of the pot.Steam from the boiling water rises through the hole in the center of the plate and flows into the steamer above. ※For the 27cm, 30cm, and 33cm sizes, the central hole diameter is gradually being changed from 3.54″ to 5.91″. During this transition period, both versions may be in circulation. We regret that you cannot choose which version will be shipped.During and immediately after steaming, the plate becomes very hot. Please use kitchen mitts or a cloth when lifting it.Due to the manufacturing process, some plates may have small holes, surface lines,minor scratches, or tiny chips. These are not considered defects. We appreciate your understanding.Let us introduce the sizes one by one. This is the 18cm (7.09″) size, the smallest in the steaming plate series. It fits steamers with a diameter of approximately 4″ to 6″.This is the underside of the 18cm plate. The actual outer diameter is approx. 7.68″. For all sizes, the actual diameter is about 0.4″ to 0.8″ larger than the stated size.This is the 20cm (7.87″) size. The actual outer diameter is approx. 8.66″, and it fits steamers with a diameter of around 4″ to 7″.This is the 24cm (9.45″) size. The actual outer diameter is approx. 10.24″. It fits steamers with a diameter of about 4″ to 8.25″.Example 1: On a pot with a 7.87″ diameter, both the 20cm (7.87″) and 24cm (9.45″) steaming plates can be used.This is a setup with a 24cm (9.45″) steaming plate on a 7.87″ pot, and a 21cm (8.27″) Chinese-style steamer placed on top.This is also the same combination: a 7.87″ pot, a 24cm (9.45″) steaming plate, and an 8.27″ steamer. While the 20cm (7.87″) steaming plate fits the pot perfectly, its diameter is too small to safely support a 21cm steamer—so the 24cm plate is used here for greater stability.This is the 27cm (10.63″) size. The actual outer diameter is approx. 11.42″. It fits steamers with a diameter of about 4″ to 9.45″.Example 2: On a pot with a 9.45″ diameter, both the 24cm (9.45″) and 27cm (10.63″) steaming plates can be used.This is a setup with a 27cm (10.63″) steaming plate on a 9.45″ pot, with a 24cm (9.45″) Chinese-style steamer placed on top.This is the 30cm (11.81″) size. The actual outer diameter is approx. 12.6″. It fits steamers with a diameter of about 4″ to 10.63″.This is the 33cm (12.99″) size. The actual outer diameter is approx. 13.78″. It fits steamers with a diameter of about 4″ to 11.81″.When choosing a pot, please select one with a rim that allows the steaming plate to sit flat. This is a combination of an 8.46″ pot and a 24cm (9.45″) steaming plate. At first glance, their diameters seem to match well. However, the pot’s handles extend above the rim and interfere with the plate, making this combination unsuitable.This is a combination of an 8.46″ Yukihira pot and a 30cm (11.81″) steaming plate. As with the previous example, the diameters may seem compatible at first. However, because the pot’s handle is angled upward, it lifts the steaming plate and makes it unsuitable for use.
When preparing to use a steaming plate, please make sure the sizes match properly— both between the pot and the plate, and between the steamer and the plate.
Pot and steaming plate: Check that the pot’s shape and diameter allow the steaming plate to sit flat and securely on top.
Steamer and steaming plate: Make sure the steamer fits neatly within the inner rim of the plate.
If you’re choosing between two sizes, we recommend selecting the larger one— it’s generally more versatile across different setups.
However, please note: if the pot has handles that rise above the rim, the steaming plate may not sit evenly, and could become unstable.
Japanese-style steamers can be used just like Chinese-style ones.
Though simple in appearance, the steaming plate plays an important role in bringing steamer and pot together. It’s a small but dependable tool that will serve you well year-round in your kitchen.
We hope you’ll find the size that suits your needs.
