Have enjoyed using this steamer. Works much quicker than my last steamer. Very easy to use and to clean up after using. May last steamer I could not take the food directly to the table in the steamer due to the holes in the bottom to let out the excess water from the steam. This steamer pan I can serve from which saves time and one less dish to clean up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The steamer works pretty good but it takes forever for the water to dry out of the reservoir. I also am confused about making rice in the steamer and could not find clear instructions.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

pros: Extra-Large capacity, does a great job with many different types of food. We primarily steam raw vegetables, potatoes, corn on the cob, and chicken breast with ease. Heats up immediately, and has a nice keep warm feature.
cons: - I don't care for the digital control which is finicky & hard to set. I primarily use the manual setting, which is also touchy to set.
- It is VERY bulky & does not store easily. Also heavy. Takes up a lot room in our pantry when not in use.
- The large glass steamer dish is susceptible to chipping on the end handles and I can not find a place that a replacement dish is sold separately. So it appears if the dish is broken, you will have to buy and 100% complete new unit in order to replace.
- I have not had very good success with rice which can take up to 1 hour. Stove to rice is much simpler.

Overall, I would purchase this streamer again if had the option. It does a great job cooking.

It is easy to use and easy to clean! Because it’s glass it doesn’t maintain odors from previous meals. It makes an amazing alternative being able to steam meals not just produce!

I am totally thrilled with my Cuisinart steamer. I do not normally write reviews, but I have relied on other reviews in the past that guided me with my purchases and this time it's my turn to write. In an effort to eat healthier meals, I selected a cookbook that suggested that I get an electric steamer, and I am so happy I did. It gives me the ability to steam my vegetables without any effort while I prepare the rest of the meal. The vegetables taste so much better and the green vegetables are green and not gray. The difference in the favor is amazing. Steel cut oatmeal is a staple in my diet and this steamer cooks it perfectly without me having to watch it and stir it and make sure it does not burn on the stove. I literally use my steamer once or twice everyday. Needless to add, I highly recommend it.

We like everything about this steamer except for one thing. We primarily use this for steaming vegetables. The preset for vegetables is 10 minutes. It takes at least twice that. A manual input would be more user friendly than turning a dial to adjust time from the presets.
I would recommend this to a friend!
