Soapstone Steamer

The problem with most stovetop steamers is that, due to the extreme temperatures produced by today’s high-efficiency woodstoves, the water boils away too rapidly. By the time we remember to refill the steamer, the hot stove has dried the air out again.  Enter the soapstone steamer.  One of the properties of soapstone is that it only heats to about 500 degrees, no matter how hot the surface it is standing on.  As a result, water placed in a soapstone steamer evaporates much more slowly than water in a metal container, so we don’t have to remember to refill it so often.
