About Vapora Vaporiera per microonde
Vapora è una vaporiera per microonde progettata per una cottura più rapida e più sana. La vaporiera unisce il vapore delicato a un calore secco simile a quello del grill. Il corpo e il coperchio con sfiati sono realizzati in silicone platinico per uso alimentare resistente al calore, e gli sfiati regolano la pressione interna per una circolazione uniforme del vapore. Un vassoio rialzato in polistirene sindiotattico assorbe l'energia delle microonde e trasferisce il calore agli alimenti dal basso, migliorando la consistenza e mantenendo gli ingredienti succosi. L'acqua e i grassi in eccesso vengono drenati per pietanze più leggere. Vapora è facile da usare, da pulire e da riporre.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Vapora combines gentle steam with grill like dry heat for faster, healthier cooking. a heat resistant silicone body and vented lid regulate pressure and ensure even circulation. inside, an elevated SPS tray absorbs heat and transfers it to food from below, creating better texture while keeping ingredients moist. excess water and fat drain away, producing lighter meals. easy to use, clean, and store, it transforms everyday microwave cooking into a premium experience.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- technical specifications (Metric ISO):
main steamer: 168 mm W x 285 mm D x 88 mm H. weight: 1518 g.
mini pot: 128 mm W x 167 mm D x 106 mm H.
material: 6 mm high density food grade platinum silicone.
temperature range: minus 40 to 230 C.
packaging: modular, nestable design optimized for minimum volumetric footprint and efficient logistics. - Tags

- Production Technology
- the body and vented lid are compression molded from heat resistant, food grade platinum silicone for structural and thermal stability. the internal heating tray is injection-molded using Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS), a high heat polymer chosen for its microwave absorbing capabilities. the product's geometry and venting mechanisms were engineered utilizing computational thermal flow analysis to optimize pressure regulation and ensure even steam circulation throughout the cooking cycle.
- Design Challenge
- the main challenge was balancing the flexibility of food grade platinum silicone with the structural rigidity required for safe handling at 220 C. complying with strict FDA and LFGB safety laws restricted material choices. overcoming the production complexity of integrating a rigid heat absorbing SPS tray within a flexible silicone body was a major hurdle. additionally, we had to shift the social perspective that microwave cooking yields poor soggy results by delivering grill like quality.
- Research
- material research aimed to develop a safe microwave steamer. through comparative analysis, we evaluated glass, PP, and PPSU against platinum silicone. results showed glass is heavy, PPSU expensive, and PP unsafe at high heat. platinum silicone, being FDA approved and 220 C resistant, was ideal but lacked rigidity. the key insight was integrating a rigid SPS inner tray for structure. Impacting society, this affordable design sets a new standard for safe, functional, and healthy cookware.
- Inspiration
- this project was inspired by repeated observations that conventional microwave steamers produced uneven results and lacked surface texture. drawing on materials research and thermal-flow analysis, the design team explored combining regulated steam circulation with dry-heat transfer from a high-performance tray. the goal was to elevate microwave cooking to professional standards of consistency, flavor, and safety through engineering-driven design.
- Project Duration
- the project started in april 2025 in Seoul, South Korea, with initial conceptualization and material research. the engineering and prototyping phases were successfully completed in January 2026. mass production and the official global market launch took place in February 2026. the design introduces a new standard for sustainable, efficient, and healthy microwave culinary preparation.
- Operation Flow
- users simply place ingredients on the elevated tray, secure the lid, and microwave. the smartly vented lid automatically regulates internal steam pressure, requiring no manual adjustment. post cooking, flexible, cool touch handles ensure safe removal. unlike standard microwaving that leaves food soggy, the heat absorbing tray delivers a unique grill like texture while preserving moisture. this intuitive, hands off interaction makes healthy, gourmet style cooking fast and effortless.
