Home cooking has changed a lot in recent years. Quick recipes, simple, low-fuss and tasty dishes have become the norm.
Steam has established itself as a genuinely versatile cooking method, one that locks in texture and flavour, cuts down on added fats, preserves nutrients and vitamins, and simplifies the whole process. In other words, a steam cooker fits perfectly into today’s rhythm of fast, efficient, and weeknight-friendly.
Lékué, the kitchenware brand first put the steam cooker on the domestic map with its iconic steam case. The brand is now launching a new product line that reframes steam cooking for a contemporary, practical kitchen. Rooted in its “Good Food Made Easy” ethos, Lékué’s philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: eating well shouldn’t require a culinary degree or an hour of prep.
The new range is built around two materials, borosilicate glass and platinum silicone, and rounds out with a dedicated steam recipe book.
The Steam Cooker Options
The Glass Steam Cooker is compatible with both microwave and conventional oven, which opens up more preparation options and adapts to different kitchen habits. Silicone handles make it safe and easy to handle right out of the heat. The whole design is a study in simplification: one single vessel that cooks, serves, and stores, cutting out the clutter of extra dishes and prep steps.
Alongside the Glass Steam Cooker launch, Lékué is bringing back one of its most recognisable products: the platinum silicone steam cooker, updated and improved, but still carrying the essence that made it a household staple, now taken to another level.
Made from 100% platinum silicone, the new models deliver even, consistent steam cooking in the microwave, keeping textures and flavours where they should be. The redesign also improves the grip and lid opening, making everyday use more comfortable and intuitive. The range now spans several formats to suit different needs.
Steam Cooker
Lékué’s classic Steam Cooker gets a refreshed look while keeping everything that made it great. It cooks quickly and evenly in the microwave or oven, and is sized for 1–2 servings. Plus, it’s ideal for vegetables, fish, or any recipe that benefits from a short, gentle cook.
Steam Cooker with Tray
This version adds an inner tray to cook two ingredients at once and put together complete dishes in a single go. Available in two sizes, for 1–2 or 3–4 people. Therefore, it’s the option for those who want a proper meal on the table without the back-and-forth.
Large Steam Cookers
For larger ingredients or more generous portions, the Large Steam Cookers offers extra room without compromising on results. Also available for 1–2 or 3–4 people, for bigger meals or anything that needs more space to cook properly.
Together, this collection covers everything from solo weeknight dinners to family meals and everything in between. The full steam cooking range is designed to take the effort out of everyday cooking. Vegetables, fish, complete meals, ready in minutes, with no babysitting required and no pile of dishes to deal with afterwards.
The Steam Cooker Cook Book
Rounding out the launch is a new recipe book conceived specifically for this cooking method. Equally, it is more than a straightforward recipe collection. It’s a practical guide for making steam cooking a natural part of your weekly routine.
Good Food Made Easy, this is the ultimate recipe book. Published for any home cook that wants to make hearty, healthy, and delicious steamed dishes.
The recipes are designed to be easy, balanced, and genuinely tasty. With streamlined timings and ingredient combinations that let you pull together a full dish in one cook. The book is available on its own or as a bundle with any the steam cooker.
