Two
tiersthe reason to buy a steamer
The two-tier design is what separates this from a pan with a lid, and it's worth understanding before you buy. Steam rises through both baskets, so two entirely different things cook at the same time in the same cycle — momos in one tier and vegetables in the other, idlis below and beans above, fish in one and rice in the other. Because they sit in separate baskets, flavours don't run into each other the way they do in a single pot. One practical note worth knowing: steam is hottest at the bottom, so the lower tier cooks slightly faster. Put the denser things — potatoes, carrots, eggs, anything thick-cut — in the lower basket, and the delicate ones like leafy greens or fish on top. Get that order right and both come out ready together. The tiers also stack down into each other for storage, which matters in a small kitchen.
Dry run protection — the feature that decides whether it survives
Every steamer works by boiling a reservoir of water, and every steamer eventually runs that reservoir dry because somebody set a long timer and forgot. On a cheap steamer that is how the heating element burns out — the element keeps drawing full power with no water to absorb the heat, and the appliance is dead in a single moment of inattention. Dry run protection cuts the power when the water level drops too low, and the auto-off does the same when the timer ends. Together they mean the commonest way a steamer dies simply doesn't apply here. The water level markings on the outside are the other half of it — you can see where you stand before starting a long cycle rather than opening the lid and letting all the steam out. For a ₹3,000 appliance that will be used unattended, these are the specifications that actually matter.
14 eggs at once — and why steaming beats boiling them
Fourteen eggs in one cycle is a genuinely useful number for a family, a tiffin run or anyone meal-prepping for the week. But the better argument is that steamed eggs are easier to peel than boiled ones. Dropping cold eggs into boiling water tends to make the membrane cling to the white, which is why half the shell comes away with the egg. Steam heats the egg more gently and evenly from the outside, and the shells generally come off in larger pieces. You also stop guessing: set the timer for the doneness you want, and every egg in the basket comes out the same, rather than the pan boiling over while you're doing something else. Run them under cold water as soon as the cycle ends — that's what makes peeling easiest of all.
🎯 Right for
This is a steamer, not a pressure cooker. It cooks with steam at atmospheric pressure, so it's excellent for vegetables, eggs, momos, idlis, fish and rice — but it won't do rajma, chhole or a fast dal the way a cooker does.
A dial, not a circuit board — nothing to fail, nothing to reprogram, and it works the same in ten years as on day one.
The element sits under a stainless steel base rather than exposed in the water, so cleaning is a wipe rather than a scrub around coils.
They lock together in use and nest down into each other for storage — which matters when counter and cupboard space is tight.
Tells you at a glance whether it's running, without lifting the lid and losing the steam you've just built up.

Warranty as per Inalsa's terms and conditions — 2 years on the product; the scope of cover, parts and labour, exclusions, product registration and the service process are subject to brand policy and the final invoice or warranty card. Consumable and accessory items such as baskets, lids and seals may be excluded or covered for a shorter period; damage arising from misuse, dry operation, immersion of the base, scale build-up or unauthorised servicing is commonly excluded. Cooking times, steam-up time, texture and results vary with quantity and thickness of food, its starting temperature, water level, basket arrangement, ambient temperature, voltage, scale condition and altitude; the stated capacity of 5 litres is the combined nominal volume of both tiers and usable capacity is lower. The stated egg capacity of 14 is based on the manufacturer's arrangement and will vary with egg size. This appliance cooks by steam at atmospheric pressure and is not a pressure cooker; it is not suitable for foods requiring pressure cooking. Steam causes severe burns — the lid must be opened away from the face and body, the appliance must be kept out of reach of children while in operation, and the unit must be allowed to cool before dismantling, cleaning or storage. The base contains electrical components and must never be immersed in water. Dry run protection and auto off are safety features and are not substitutes for filling the reservoir to the marked level before use. The appliance must be used on a flat, stable, heat-tolerant surface with the cord positioned safely away from counter edges and heat sources, and connected to a properly earthed socket. Periodic descaling is recommended in hard-water areas and is the user's responsibility. A rice bowl is not listed among the box contents for this model and the operating voltage is not stated in supplier material; both should be confirmed before purchase.
