One feature of particular interest is the base. It's an encapsulated base which provides an even heat distribution, resulting in consistently cooked food. The lid is made from glass and is tempered in such a way that increases its strength. In fact, it's up to four times stronger than untreated glass, and better resists heat. Note that the steamer is also oven safe up to temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius. It's also completely dishwasher safe.
