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!

The Cuisinart is very easy to use and clean. I could steam my eggs while I am taking shower, because the steam while automatic shut off once done.

I bought this product several months ago. It stopped working after about a month; shutting itself off prematurely. I had to pay for shipping to receive a replacement. The replacement is working properly.

I have used this steamer several times. Two major concerns are the weight of the glass, if you are a senior. And secondly all my past steamers always kept the food hot for several minutes after it was finished cooking. Am also having a time to try and cook some frozen vegetables for when I set it at "vegetables" they are not done when I remove them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m very happy to find this glass steamer. Worked great so far. Very easy to operate. If it has 2 layers, that would be wonderful.

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 love this steamer. The construction, impressive design,and functionality leaves little left to be desired. Having the water reservoir separate from the glass dish was one of the things that helped me make the final decision to buy. It makes cleanup a breeze. I use my steamer very often. Well worth the cost.
I would recommend this to a friend!
