How do you lift this out of a pan, let's say if you have steamed veggies on it? Do you just have to use tongs to get the veggies out?

I use a wooden or plastic spoon (large) and dip the veggies out. Or you can use pot holders and lift the pot out of the pressure cooker and tip it over while emptying the veggies.

Yes, you would use tongs. There is no way to grip or lift the rack safely while hot. I use it to heat or cook tamales, also teriyaki chicken bundles, pot stickers as an example. Have use it for asparagus etc.

Try this - leave two holes open at the outer edge, exactly opposite. Insert the large ends of two chopsticks and bring the small ends together above your veggies. This can be used to lift both in and out, which allows you to boil the water for steaming before placing the contents.

I have not and wouldn't because the handles would come in contact with the edge of your hot pan. Use an inexpensive collapsible steamer basket instead.

The two handles you see on either side of the grill are attached to the coal tray. You remove the grills and then lift out the entire coal pan.

They should just come out with out using spatula. Mine jat come out when I turn the pan over.

I elevate my bamboo steamer above my water filled pan using a steaming ring. You can also find it on Amazon. Hope this helps.

I don't believe there are any directions that come with the OXO steamer. If there are, I suspect that they would be vague as it depends upon how much heat you supply to the pot to power the steam and what sort of lid is on the pot. Not to mention the type of food being steamed! You can always lift the lid and give the food a prod (being careful not to get scalded) to see if it is done. For me, spinach only takes a few minutes, but cauliflower and carrots are around 10-15 minutes depending on how vigorously the water is boiling and how full the steamer is!

Yes you can pull things out of the oven or off of the grill. Just don't put your fingers on the hole they have punched in the pot holder.

We did this with a ham, although I think our pot was bigger than 6 qts. We used tongs to fish the chain out of the hot water which was a bit challenging, but it did work. I'm pretty sure with a 6 qt pot you might be able to somehow hook the ends of the chain onto the pot handles. Worth a try. The lifting part was easy.

It's a Steam Canner, if you use it with can, yes you can steam can your vegetables. It's super easy Steam Canner.

The vegetables are placed in the top steamer basket and a few inches of water in the bottom pot. Place the steamer basket on top of the pot and cover with lid. Steam - cooking on med to low heat until the veggies are cooked to your liking. Cooking times will vary depending on your vegetable. Be sure to use pot holders with the handles - as they do get hot

I don't think so. You just lift a little to get the pan or pot off. There is contact but it's not like banging.

The Lekue does veggies any way you like them. My model has a red tray into which I pour olive oil and water. The steaming of vegetables depends on how long you microwave them. I think it takes some experimentation ~ depending on the power of your microwave

yes you can use a steamer basket, so long as it isn't so tall that when you put the produce on top the vegetables block the valve on top. I have a silicone basket that I use and it works fine. I let the liquid come to a boil before I put the basket in and you can find charts online that will give you approximate times for different vegetables. Check out hip pressure cooking.com.

I use a "peel". I never lift the stome out of the oven when it is hot. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. If you are referring to lifting off the lid, you just pull up on the side snaps to release them. If you are referring to the suction that is created from closing the lid? I would just lift the lid off -- never had a problem with that.

You are going to have to cut that part loose like you did before. Personally i found it the easiest task; just take a butter knife (or the thinnest knife you have) - the utensil does not have to be sharp, and bring it was close to the metal as possible and just run your knife along the underside of the cake and it should come out without any issues. Once i started running my knife it came off and without cutting away at the cake at all. If you had problems with this, you could add a piece of parchment next time to the bottom - it shouldn't effect the chiffon cake at all. But honestly, i don't think you'll have problems getting the bottom off - it's usually the easiest part!

You need to hold the bottom and pull the whole top off. Just be careful. If you have peppercorn in there already, they could fly out.
