A steamer that gets creative, allowing you to cook food in delicious sauces without flavours mingling into each other? Tefal has turned steamer design on its head with the launch of its new VitaCuisine Steamer - ensuring steamed food has never tasted better!

Designed to make steaming casseroles to melted chocolate and steamed apples as easy as steaming vegetables, it uses a unique �tri-steaming� process which separates the steam so each food item cooks by itself � and doesn�t transfer flavours.

The Tefal VitaCuisine Steamer really is set to become the affordable, must-have item for any family or health-conscious enthusiast looking for healthy, yet tasty meals. With individual stain and odour-proof stainless steel mesh food baskets and a large fish tray, different foods can be cooked at the same time to make a complete meal in one � leaving you time to go and do other things.

VitaCuisine is ideal for cooking any meal, such as fish with potatoes or rice or for something a little more saucy, sweet �n� sour chicken kebabs. Just place your foods that could drip, such as fish, meat or poultry, or that have a sauce to them, such as casseroles, in the large sauce tray and the other foods in the mesh baskets � all you have to do is sit back, relax and wait for the steam to work its magic. We all know our health can be affected by the food we eat, but with VitaCuisine, thanks to the special �Vitamin Plus� booster button, your food will retain up to 25% more vitamins than other steamers and 50% more than traditional ways of cooking, such as boiling. This is because it starts the steam process much faster than other steamers on the market.

Other key features include:

� 60 minute timer � External water fill � Large capacity basket � Auto keep warm button � Rice/steam pudding bowl

Tefal VitaCuisine Steamer retails from �69.99.
