Wahei began in a small workshop in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan, a region famous for its metalcraft for over 400 years. Our master craftsmen noticed home cooks struggling with flimsy, ill-fitting steamers that rusted and cooked unevenly. We created the Freiz Dome Steamer to solve this. We selected surgical-grade 304 stainless steel for its purity and durability, and spent 2 years perfecting the dome angle for optimal steam flow. Every piece is stamped with the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) mark, verifying it meets strict national quality benchmarks. It's now the top-selling steamer insert in its category in Japan, trusted in over 200,000 homes for its 'set-it-and-forget-it' reliability.

The Wahei Freiz Stainless Steel Dome Steamer Insert is crafted from high-quality 304-grade stainless steel, a material chosen for its exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and non-reactive properties. This specific alloy, which includes chromium and nickel, ensures the steamer does not rust, pit, or interact with acidic foods, preserving both the integrity of the insert and the flavor of steamed ingredients. The dome-shaped design, made from this robust stainless steel, allows for efficient steam circulation and even cooking by creating a spacious interior that accommodates larger food items while fitting snugly into 24-26cm cookware. The inclusion of heat-resistant handles, often made from the same stainless steel or silicone-coated for safety, provides secure grip and easy maneuverability. These ingredients collectively offer users benefits such as long-lasting performance, easy cleaning due to stainless steel's non-porous surface, versatility for steaming various foods without flavor transfer, and enhanced safety through stable handling, making it a reliable and health-conscious addition to any kitchen.
