The Smart Steamer Lid was created by Gordon Smart after a chef roommate piqued his newfound interest in cooking and the science behind it. Gordon admits that he had “zero culinary skills” growing up and so when he had a professional, cooking with him, he knew there was a lot to learn. It was a chicken tikka masala dish that really sparked his interest in flavors and how to retain them. He went on to study the science behind cooking rice and that led him to create this silicone lid that turns your saucepan into a steamer to preserve nutrients and food’s natural flavors, all while reducing the amount of energy needed while cooking.
