What role does the steam plate placed inside the earthenware pot play during cooking?
While looking at the description of the steaming earthenware pot, I became curious about the specific use of the steam plate, which is a standard component. I would like to know if it is simply a trivet or if cooking is possible in other ways as well.

It is a rack that rests inside Igamono's steaming earthenware pot, helping to steam food in the upper tier while simultaneously completing soup dishes in the lower tier.
It steams on top and boils below[1]. Placing the perforated steam plate inside the earthenware pot divides the interior space into two upper and lower tiers[2]. As the liquid in the lower tier boils, the resulting hot steam passes through the holes to evenly steam the food in the upper tier.
Two dishes are completed at once. It is structured so that you can set a soup dish in the lower tier while simultaneously steaming ingredients like vegetables or meat in the upper tier[3]. The method of steaming helps reduce excess fat while minimizing the loss of moisture and nutrients retained in the ingredients.
There are also few heat source restrictions. In addition to direct gas flames and highlight cooktops, it can be widely used with induction, ovens, and microwaves, allowing you to cook according to your kitchen environment[4][5].
The recommended cooking times or appropriate water quantities for the upper and lower tiers when proceeding with 2-tier cooking have not yet been confirmed.
