FAQs
Can I use this in a conventional oven?
Yes, the Lékué Glass Steam Cooker is designed to be fully compatible with both microwave and conventional ovens.
Is the steamer dishwasher safe?
Yes, the entire unit, including the glass tray and silicone components, is dishwasher safe.
What is the purpose of the included glass tray?
The tray allows you to layer your ingredients so you can steam two different foods at once without them mixing, improving flavor retention.
Does the silicone handle get hot?
The silicone handles are designed to be heat-resistant, providing a safer and more stable grip when moving the hot cooker.
Can I store leftovers in this container?
Absolutely. It is designed to act as an all-in-one vessel, allowing you to move directly from cooking to serving and finally into the refrigerator for storage.
Troubleshooting
Steam valve appears stuck or clogged
Remove the valve component, rinse thoroughly with warm soapy water, and ensure all food residue is cleared before re-inserting.
Food is undercooked or overcooked
Adjust microwave power levels or oven duration; because this vessel retains heat well, allow for a short standing time after cooking is finished.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Lékué Glass Steam Cooker, ensure the container and the included glass tray are clean. When cooking, verify that the steam valve is clear of debris to allow for automatic pressure regulation. For oven use, ensure the temperature settings do not exceed the manufacturer's specified heat limits for borosilicate glass. Always handle the container using the designated silicone grips. After use, the unit can be cleaned in a dishwasher or washed with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge to maintain the clarity and integrity of the glass. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a hot container directly onto a cold or wet surface.
