so I was walking through my local Chinese supermarket and came across these – they are apparently used for steaming… Stainless Steel and a whopping $4. Perfect height, perfect for a frying pan on top as well, if need be.
Problem is ring is 1/16" too small for the pot to slide into.
Should I grind it? Heat it & stretch it?
Just sooooo close
No weight, as I don't have a scale, but it's not much!

Looks like you could cut through the ring between each pair of side brackets and that would allow the ring to spread just enough but still brace the heine can. You'll have 3 brackets which can be slightly bent up or down to provide the extra 1/16th inch
Feb 18, 2010 at 6:05 pm #1575533tried that, but it didn't spread enough on the first one…

You cut through at all 3 sections between the brackets holding the inner ring to the outer ring? And couldn't move the 3 sectiond up or down enough to fit the heinekin?
Got a photo?
Feb 22, 2010 at 12:34 pm #1577128remove all three sections of the ring between the supports. Then you can bend the supports to increase the diameter. And it's lighter
Feb 22, 2010 at 11:25 pm #1577360Not sure how these cans differ in size, but maybe his enought to fit
I'd really like one of these. I'll have to check out one of the everything-aria stores nearby.
Nice find!
