I really love this steamer! My last one was a decades old steamer, made of plastics that probably weren’t safe to eat from. Eventually, it started emitting black particles in the wasted steam-water, which really concerned me. At that point, I swore off steamers!
Until I found this one! Completely safe, no BPAs, the food doesn’t touch anything plastic. The glass and stainless steel are excellent quality, and most of the parts can wash in the dishwasher.
I’ve only had ONE dish not work out. For some reason a brown rice recipe from the book said it would take 40 minutes… ended up goin and hour and a half and it still didn’t finish. Maybe because I added peas? So I’ll consider that was probably me messing with the recipe.
My only real complaint is the lack of electric steamer recipes out there in the world. When you google, you get general steamer basket or stovetop steamer recipes - not ones calibrated to using a machine with different settings like this. I think Cuisinart should invest in an actual cookbook (more than the 20 recipes you get in the box). I would buy it! I would literally pay extra money for it. I want to use this steamer a lot, but I don’t want to waste money experimenting on my own with recipes that fail over and over. I want guidance on which settings and time and ingredients…. Or else maybe offer the info on what exactly is the difference between “Grain”, “Vegetable”, and “Seafood” settings? Is it a temp thing? Is one of them low? High? How can I adapt online non-electric steamer recipes for use on this machine if there is no explanation for what the machine’s settings really mean?
But, all in all - worth it! I’d buy it again and I love the quality. Just wish there was a little more info or recipe resources.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to clean and assemble, good quality materials, intuitive to use the many functions. Keep Warm and Reheat functions don't ruin the food. Nutrients stay in the food, they don't bleed out in the water.

I'm really impressed with this steamer. It's very easy to use. The options are numerous and very user friendly. Just put in the water, plug unit in, put in the vegetable, dial to "vegetable", press in the dial, then use the same dial to put in the time. Hit the start button and it starts to steam quite quickly. I love making fresh broccoli in it. The texture is perfect and the color very appealing to the eye--a beautiful rich green color.
I also like the basket insert since it helps steam my vegetables all over. I definitely recommend this steamer. It's the best.

I like this steamer very much. It holds it’s own water so it never runs out before the food is cooked. The pan is big enough to cook lots of things at once.
