was just looking for a steamer ready for xmas days cooking and found this at argos reduced from £10 to £8. 18cm stainless steel 3 tier steamer at argos.

heads up: Metal handles not the best idea. This type of cheap pan set warps very easily ( where one pan fits into the pan below ) and therefore leaks steam out of the outer rim of the pans which reduces the efficiency. I say this because I had this exact set when I first started to steam veggies etc. I threw it out and bought a good set with rubber(?) handles.

I have never had a warping problem with my metal handled set (had it about 10 years), my only issue is the handles are too hot to touch and too small to grab with bulky oven gloves.
End up using a tea towel but then have to be careful not to get it in the gas flame :stuck_out_tongue:

Have a different set with metal handles and been working fine for years. My parents did have a set with rubber (?) handles and always smelt of burning when in use so swings and roundabouts i guess.
Gonna get these as a second set for Christmas due to amount of veg being cooked

I've got one of these (not the Argos one, but looks the same) and it's the best thing I ever bought in the kitchen - it gets used just about every day, and believe me when I say I'm definitely not a cook!! Birds Eye 'oven medly' meals come with a lot less guilt when they've got a big dose of brocolli, sweetcorn and carrots on the side, and the kids much prefer veg that's been cooked this way than boiled in a pan - mine is the same size as this and it's perfect for everyday meals.
