Your ceramic steaming dish is dishwasher safe, but we recommend handwashing in hot, soapy water and rinsing thoroughly before first use.

With a temperature resistance range of -18°C to 220°C, it’s super versatile for steaming, baking, freezing and re-heating your creations. Avoid direct contact with your stovetop or naked flames. Allow to cool before placing on a cold surface, or storing in your fridge or freezer, as sudden temperature changes can cause cracking from thermal shock.

Fill no more than three-quarters full when steaming sponges. And for liquids, leave at least a 1cm gap from the lip of the dish to avoid overflowing during cooking.

Always add the mesh lifter mat to your Varoma® when using your Steaming Dish, and ensure you read and follow all instructions on how to safely remove the dish with the lifter mat.

How do you use the Varoma steaming dish? 

This ceramic steaming dish fits into the TM7, TM6 and TM5 Varoma dish for steam cooking all your big, hearty family favourites.

Always use the Silicone Lifter Mat and follow the 7-step guide (both included with your Steaming Dish) to easily insert and safely remove your dish. 

Slide the lid on for steaming hearty casseroles. And leave the lid off to cook fluffy, light rice and let steamed sponges rise.

When steaming sponges, fill the dish no more than three-quarters full, and leave at least a 1cm gap from the lip of the dish when cooking liquids to avoid overflowing.

Cooked up a batch to give yourself a night off? Or got enough leftovers to make it an easy weeknight. Slide the lid on and store your steaming dish in the fridge, ready to reheat in the Varoma whenever you are.

Is the Thermomix steaming dish non-stick?

The steaming dish doesn’t feature a non-stick surface. But we have added a perfectly smooth, glossy, non-porous finish to the interior of our ceramic steaming dish, so there’s less risk of food sticking and more effortless releases.

What can you cook in the 1.2L steaming dish?

With the lid on, it keeps all the juicy goodness in hearty casseroles. With the lid off, it can cook up a whole meatloaf, lasagne, or pasta bake for four people and happily goes straight from Varoma to grill to top your dish off with a bubbling golden crust.

Modelled on our hugely popular Varoma Ramekins, this 1.2L size is perfect for steaming big crowd-pleasing cakes and puddings. To let your sponges rise evenly, we recommend leaving the lid off your steaming dish.

You can also use it for reheating your batch-cooked creations or leftovers in your Varoma or oven for an easy weeknight dinner.

How do you clean a ceramic steaming dish?

It’s safe to put your ceramic steaming dish and lid in your dishwasher once cooled. Before first use (or in the unlikely event that you haven’t used it for a while), hand-wash your dish with mild soap, warm water and a soft cloth.

To loosen stuck-on food, soak in warm water and avoid harsh, high-alkaline detergents and abrasive cleaners and scrubbing pads that can scratch and damage the smooth ceramic surface. We also recommend using wooden or silicone utensils for stirring and serving.
