<p>A cookware set (1000) has an inner (200) and outer vessel (100) and a lid (300) that sealingly covers the outer vessel. The inner vessel is shorter than the outer vessel and nests therein at the rim (130) with a passage for steam generated by simmering water in the outer vessel. The steam enters the passage to cook, steam or warm food held in the inner vessel. Condensate forming on surface above the inner vessel is directed to drain to the outer vessel, preferably being caught in an annular trough disposed adjacent the rim of the inner over the passage for steams upward flow from the outer vessel. The combination is particularly suitable for cooking rice and other foodstuffs wherein it is desirable to largely steam the food yet mitigate the potential of the food stuff being oversaturated with water.</p> |
