I purchased this steamer to replace another brand's steamer that I've had for 20+ yrs. I have several Cuisinart appliances and thought this would be an upgrade. Unfortunately, the very first food I chose to steam was corn on the cob. I was surprised to see how few I could fit in the steamer. (4 total and the lid would not seat tightly as the cobs were too large). Hoping for better experiences with other foods! I like the enclosed cookbook. Looks like several recipes I want to try are included.
I wanted a good steamer, not the plastic cheaper options so readily available. This steamer is not inexpensive, but it is a better value when you consider the quality and the features and you want a consistent result. The pre-programmed timers almost make it fool proof. So far everything I've cooked has come out perfect. The base is heavy duty glass. If you want cheap there are many options but if you want quality and peace of mind, this is your best option.
Healthy steaming comparing many plastic products out there. Easy to clean, all I do is rinse it after use. Using it daily, that’s how much my baby and I like it.
This glass steamer was a huge upgrade from the plastic one I’ve used for far too long. I feel better about cooking my food in glass, plus there is enough room to cook multiple food items and/or larger quantities.
I use a steamer 2x a day and I keep having to buy a new one frequently because the plastic cracks. That’s why I purchased this glass bowl in hopes it would last for a very long time. It does leak water on counter top which can be wiped up but just a pain. It is a lot bulkier and heavier than expected. I don’t have space to keep on counter top so I have to store in cupboard. It takes a lot of distilled water for one use which I have to throw out what isn’t used each day because it says not to store with water in tank. It cooks veggies and food very well. However less time than indicated on included recipe book. I do like the way it steams my food I wish it was smaller and easier to handle.
I’ve had a few steamers over the last few years. This is by far my favorite. A little heavy to put away after cleanup but very good quality. Very consistent steam.
