I love my steamer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little steamer has revolutionized my cooking! I put chicken, salmon, or other fish in the bottom bin and broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, onions, portabella mushrooms and green peppers on the top.... sprinkle with my favorite spices and then go sit down and wait 30 minutes for dinner to be ready. Amazing! Delicious! Easy! Healthy! Great for the diet! What could be better??? I just want to know how to get an extra set of bins because I use it every day and it would be great to have one to use while the other is in the dishwasher. Any suggestions?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for single serve healthy meals.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The steamer is much larger than it appears, however it stores very compact. The overall size and dual steam chambers make it the ideal size for single serve meals. It is to small for family size meal preparation. I did find it slow to warm up and create steam in order to begin cooking the food. Some foods took longer than expected to cook. It seemed to work better for steaming vegetables, as meats and seafood (shellfish) took a long time to cook. Fish also left a smell in the steam chamber that took several cooking cycles to clear up. Steamed food tasted fresh. Overall it is a good product for healthy meal preparation if one is not in a hurry.

Easy to use and clean up

I was excited to try the Oster Double Tiered Food Steamer. I thought this was a good product to prepare healthy side dishes. It was a little smaller than I expected so I had to cut up the vegetables a bit to make it work, but overall I was pleased. It is very easy to use. I had never used a steamer like this and it was not difficult. As far as convenience goes, this was perfect for our family. I was able to steam vegetables without worry while preparing the rest of the meal. My biggest complaint about this product is that it isn't able to steam rice. We eat a lot of rice in our house and being able to use the steamer to also steam rice would be very helpful. Finally, this product is dishwasher safe and that it a lifesaver! I received and tested this product for free but that did not influence my review.

Great tool for healthier meals

Upon receiving the steamer I was a little shocked by how small it was. We are a family of four and I thought that this size steamer would be more suitable for a family of three or less. Setup was a breeze. All of the pieces fit perfectly together like a puzzle. I like how it gives you the option of using both baskets or just one at a time. I also liked how there were line indications for minimum and maximum amounts of water in the bottom of the machine. I looked over the instructions just to get a feel of what to put in the steamer and the proper times. My first attempt was putting Tilapia in the top container and frozen vegetables in the bottom container. I set the timer that is located on the machine and walked away. Fifteen minutes later my meal was done. Since my first attempt I have made hard-boiled eggs, chicken, and shrimp in the steamer. Clean up is simple. I put all of the plastic baskets in the top rack of my dishwasher. Disclaimer: I received this product in return for an honest review. All of the opinions expressed here are my own.

Great little Steamer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice little steamer. The two tiers make it very easy to cook 2 veggies at one time. The unit takes up very little counter space which is also a nice feature. We eat steamed veggies almost every day so having 2 separate tiers works out very well for us. I put my carrots in the bottom and the quicker cooking veggies in the top and they are done at about the same time. The unit looks nice and has worked out well for us. I received this product as a sample to review.

Perfect for meal preppers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a convenient and easy product! I am a fitness competition who does a lot of healthy meal prep, so this steamer can in so handy for my contest prep! I could cook my protein and my veggies in one step...I loved how functional and easy to use it was, although it took me a minute to figure out how everything worked when I first used it. The only thing I would change would be the compartment size, so I could cook more. But other than that the clean up was so easy and my chicken was moist and juicy and vegetables soft and tender. I was glad I was given this product as an opportunity to sample it because I enjoyed it very much!
