The DIAMOND ACTIVE LITE works best for gentle cooking with a closed lid, when steam loss is reduced to a minimum. Potatoes, vegetables, meat and fish retain their distinct flavor as well as shape and color. Vitamins and trace elements are retained, resulting in healthier food, just like with conventional steaming. The patented lid locking mechanism ensures easy operation and hermetically seals the pot thanks to a specially developed silicone gasket. In addition to energy saved as a result of shorter boiling or cooking times, heating energy is also saved because the pot requires considerably less liquid than conventional saucepans.
