The Wood Stove Steamer
The idea came to me while scrubbing the gunk out of our cast iron stove steamer… I thought if this were glazed pottery, it could easily be cleaned out with a sponge, maybe a little bleach if really bad or even better, it can be put into the dishwasher!
The Steamer has little feet to raise it off your stove so it won’t boil over or crack from the heat of the stove. The top top opening is large enough to put your hand into for easy cleaning. Holes in teh lid allow for the steam to escape. A wimsical and functional handle on the lid tops the piece.
It is important to remember to fill it up with warm water- cold water could cause cracks.
I’ve been testing one at our home and it works wonderfully!

Hi Teresa, after a couple of years I'm curious what the results of your test have been?
The steamer works great! I made the huge mistake of adding cold water to the hot steamer when it was empty- the steamer cracked.
same idea of not putting cold left overs in a hot oven... pottery doesn't do well with the drastic temperature changes.
