I tried this too when I first got mine - always on the look out. I love how the TM21 has SS Varoma and basket but apparently doesn't fit TM31. Have seen them selling out of France on ebay.  :)

Sundari - they are not ALL stainless steel - they have plastic in them too.  Iw ould happily part with mine - but I cut the tray up to put in my current Varoma.   :( :(



BUT - it is NOT all stainless steel !!!

I know someone who has the old steaming basket that may be interested?? Any problems with your steamer Sundari or do you just want to avoid plastics?

Thanks Nay-nay - I knew it was there - but couldn't recall where  :-*  Again Sundari - the old Varoma stinks - it drips everywhere and still had plastic.

I have one customer who has swapped her new varoma for the old tm31 stainless steel one - and have a few more people interested. my varoma is fine but I have lots of clients who don't like to use any plastics even the 'safe' kind.

But the old one is plastic ??? - it has a plastic base and plastic tray and plastic top ??? 

Try contacting Perth HQ or Josie Pino in Sydney 0414 293 156 or Janine Babuskis in Melbourne 0412 044 353   - they may have some.  Perth would be the best place to start.

The base is stainless steel with a plastic lip/rim around it.  So the cooking area is not plastic - just the rim, but they would be better to put everything on ceramic or metal trays/containers in the new one ?? as they cant avoid the plastic short of getting a new lid and tray made ??
