Key Facts:
After going viral in 2025, water-based cooking is becoming a smarter, everyday approach to preparing healthier and simpler meals at home.
Magimix is launching the Multifunction Steamer in Australia, designed to make this method practical with a large two-tier capacity that allows meals to be built in stages within one appliance.
Focused on convenience and daily use, it helps reduce time in the kitchen while simplifying cooking and clean up without compromising on quality.
As food trends continue to evolve, one shift is standing out in kitchens around the world. After gaining traction across social media in 2025, water-based cooking is moving beyond the hype and into everyday routines, driven by a desire for healthier, simpler, and more efficient ways to prepare meals.
From steaming and poaching to gentle simmering, this approach focuses on cooking with moisture rather than oil, helping to preserve the natural taste and integrity of ingredients. While the method itself is nothing new, its renewed popularity reflects a broader change in how people want to cook today, with greater intention, less complexity, and more confidence in the kitchen.
In response to this shift, Magimix introduces the Multifunction Steamer, a thoughtfully designed appliance that brings this method into modern homes with ease.
A smarter way to cook, every day
Designed for daily use, the Magimix Multifunction Steamer simplifies meal preparation by allowing you to prepare multiple elements of a meal in one appliance. With two generous stainless-steel baskets and a dedicated rice bowl, it becomes easy to build a complete meal from protein to vegetables and grains, all within a single cooking process.
Whether it is a midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend meal, the steamer is built to make cooking feel more manageable, without compromising on quality.
Convenience, without compromise
As time becomes an increasingly valuable resource, convenience in the kitchen is no longer a luxury. It is essential. The Multifunction Steamer supports this shift by offering a more efficient way to cook while reducing the need for multiple pots, pans, and cooking methods.
Rather than cooking everything at the exact same time, it allows you to build a complete meal in stages, adding ingredients as needed. For example, you might start with rice, then add vegetables and fish partway through, allowing everything to finish together, perfectly cooked and ready to serve.
This staged approach makes it easier to manage timing, while freeing you up to prepare sauces or set the table, so dinner comes together smoothly without juggling multiple elements on the stovetop.
