Stainless Steel Single Handle Steamer Pot with Glass Lid

CharmsCook manufactures this single-handle 304 stainless steel steamer pot for wholesale buyers and OEM brands sourcing compact, multi-purpose cookware for retail, foodservice, and private-label programs.

Product Specifications

This steamer pot ships in a fixed configuration and is available for custom size and branding programs.

Material & Construction

The pot body and steam insert are formed from 304 stainless steel (18/8 grade), which contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This composition provides corrosion resistance suitable for acidic food contact and repeated high-heat cycling. The 304 alloy is the standard food-contact grade used across commercial cookware and meets FDA and LFGB food-safety requirements.

The lid and secondary components are manufactured from 201 stainless steel, a cost-efficient austenitic alloy with higher manganese and lower nickel content than 304. This allocation — 304 for all direct food-contact surfaces, 201 for non-contact hardware — is a standard B2B production practice that balances food-safety compliance with BOM cost management.

The single-handle design uses a riveted or welded attachment to the pot body. The tempered glass lid allows cooks to monitor steam without lifting the lid, reducing heat loss. The steam insert (蒸格) sits inside the pot body and keeps food elevated above the water line, enabling simultaneous boiling and steaming in a single vessel.

Surface finish is natural brushed stainless. Mirror-polish and matte finishes are available as custom options for OEM programs.
