This is a silicone steamer from maitre francais, large oval L size. It comes with a recipe book. I opened it to take photos. There is no deterioration of the steel core, and it stands up properly. The tape was difficult to remove when opening, and the tape area is a little dirty. Please check the 4th photo. Stored at home, no pets, no smokers. Please note that used cardboard boxes and cushioning materials may be reused for packaging. Thank you for looking.
