steamable

Bag for steaming

Steamable describes food or containers designed to be cooked by steam.

Steamable vegetables come in bags that can go directly into the microwave, where moisture turns to steam and cooks the contents: I grabbed a bag of steamable broccoli for a quick side dish.

The term appears mostly on food packaging.
