The steamer vent 13 is arranged around the first through hole 14, and the steamer vent 13 can be arranged in an outer ring array with the first through hole 14 as the center.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the steamer bottom plate 11 is provided with a plurality of steamer vent holes 13, which can be circular holes, square holes, triangular holes or holes of other irregular shapes. The specific shape and size of the steamer vent holes 13 can be set according to actual use requirements and are not limited here.

[0037] Exemplarily, the material of the steamer body 10 may be metal, for example, the material of the steamer body 10 may be stainless steel.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the steaming rack 20 is detachably connected to the steamer bottom plate 11. The steaming rack 20 is detachably connected to the steamer bottom plate 11, so that the steamer body 10 can be placed alone on the pot mouth of a cookware, such as a pot, to be used as an oil filter for frying, or can be combined and used as an integral steamer. The steamer assembly disassembles and combines the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20, so that different functions can be achieved by utilizing the combination and disassembly between the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20, and the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack have a simple structure, low cost, are easy to install and disassemble, easy to use, and have a high connection strength. In daily use, the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20 can be disassembled and used separately to facilitate daily diversified use and storage, thereby improving the user experience.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the steaming rack 20 includes a steaming grid portion 21, the diameter of the steaming grid portion 21 is larger than the aperture of the first through hole 14, and after the steaming rack 20 is assembled with the steamer bottom plate 11, the steaming grid portion 21 covers the first through hole 14.

[0040] For example, the steamer assembly of the disclosed embodiment can be used as a steamer by combining the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20. For example, the steamer assembly formed by the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20 can be placed in a pot, and food such as bread can be placed on the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20 to steam the food.

[0041] For example, the steamer assembly can be used as a steamer by combining the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20. However, when steaming food in a conventional steamer body, the space between the dish and the side panel is relatively small, making it difficult to lift the dish. However, the disclosed solution allows the steamer assembly to be placed on a tabletop. When the steaming rack's support legs contact the tabletop, the dish is automatically raised, exposing it for easy access.

[0042] For example, the steamer assembly can be separated from the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20, and the steaming rack 20 can be used alone as a pot mat. For example, the steaming rack 20 can be supported on a table by supporting legs, and the pot can be placed on the steaming rack 20, which can prevent the bottom of the pot from scalding the table or secondary contamination of the table.

[0043] Exemplarily, the steamer assembly can also be separated by disassembling the steamer body 10 and the steaming rack 20, and the steaming rack 20 can be used as a supporting vessel. For example, the steaming rack 20 is placed in a pot, and the steaming rack 20 can also be used as a supporting vessel for steaming food alone.

[0044] For example, the steamer assembly can be separated from the steamer body 10 and the steaming frame 20, allowing the steamer body 10 to be used alone. For example, the steamer body 10 can be assembled with a cookware, mounted on the cookware, with the steamer base 11 spaced a certain distance from the bottom of the cookware, and food can be placed on the steamer base 11. The steamer body 10 can also be used as a fryer drainer to drain oil after frying food.

[0045] The steamer assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a steamer body 10 and a steamer rack 20. The steamer body 10 includes a steamer bottom plate 11 and side plates 12 arranged around the outer periphery of the steamer bottom plate 11.
