When we found this steamer basket we each thought, wow, cool basket, what is it for? Then each of us came up with a variety of functions: paper holder, fruit basket, beautiful object for the shelf, tiny dog bed, etc. Over time we discovered it was technically designed for steaming food by placing it over a pot with a small amount of water, just as one would with any steamer. We can think of a 100 ways to use this basket and are certain you will too. I use it to hold my business cards. At the end of the day this is a beautiful object that takes on many applications.
