Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about this collection — sizing, compatibility, technique, and care.
What's the difference between Softiera, Combi, and EasyQuick?
Softiera is the basic perforated insert for single-layer steaming — drop it into a Rondeau or Stock Pot for vegetables, fish or dumplings. Combi is the stackable two-tier insert that lets you cook starch, protein and vegetables on one pot at the same time. EasyQuick is the steaming lid that turns any compatible Rondeau or Stock Pot into a sealed steamer that cooks up to 20% faster.
Does no-water steaming actually preserve more nutrients?
Yes — measurably. A 2009 University of Vienna study compared A by AMC's low-water steaming method with conventional boiling and recorded up to 50% higher retention of carotenoids, vitamin C and B-vitamins in the same dish. The principle: water-soluble vitamins leach into cooking water; remove the water and they stay in the food.
Can I cook multiple foods at once when steaming?
Yes — that's what the Combi stackable insert is for. Place rice or grains in the bottom layer, fish or chicken in the middle, vegetables on top, and everything cooks together in a single pot. It's the fastest way to get a complete meal on the table without juggling pans.
Do I need a special pot for steaming, or can I use one I already own?
If you already own a Rondeau, Stock Pot or compatible A by AMC pot, the Softiera, Combi and EasyQuick lid will fit and turn it into a steamer. If you're starting from scratch, the Pure Steam bundle includes the Rondeau plus all three steaming components at a system price.
How long does steaming take vs boiling?
Steaming is usually faster than boiling, because you don't wait for a large volume of water to come to a boil. With the EasyQuick lid sealed, broccoli takes ~4 minutes, fish fillets ~6–8, and a full multi-layer Combi meal usually under 20.
