"love this thing" 2010-08-19
By Diana E. Thornton (fairfax, ca United States)
This is a great steamer. It has the adjustable size which helps when cooking artichokes.

By Suzanne Whelan (Lathrup, Michigan United States)
Just brought this today. Brought it home and cooked 6 hard boiled eggs to perfection. This alone is a big plus for me. Then I steam some brocoli and again perfect! Then I threw in some shredded cabbage and yes again perfect. I know this will be a well used item in my kitchen. I am going to get another one for my daughter for Christmas. Do not hesitate to buy this item. I am diabetic and this is a great way to steam my foods with little effort. Suzanne

"Love it" 2010-07-13
By Michael L. Bookout (Hickory, NC)
This is a great little machine. I use it almost every night for dinner. Steams vegetables out of the garden in about 15 minutes. Just one of the steaming containers makes more than 3 people could eat. I typically use one steaming container and the rinse and put in the dishwasher. The next night I use the other one and then wash them both at the same time. Easy to clean and very efficient. I would recommend this to anyone.
  
"Kitchen favorite!" 2010-07-04
By Meaghan Bihun (Redwood City, CA)
I use this steamer nearly daily. Fruits, veggies, fish, chicken, rice, eggs - it does them all. Top rack of dishwasher safe (though, I've put the steamer baskets in the bottom rack before without a problem - but don't use a dry cycle) for all but the base unit.
Pros:
-Nice size rice bowl for a family of four
-Double-deck allows cooking of multiple foods
-Easy to clean with snap-out bottoms of baskets
-Easy to store, nests down to one-basket height for storage
Cons:
-Hard to clean heating nub
-Steam is unevenly distributed by design of the "flavor tray"
-Doesn't hold large items, like globe artichokes, easily
-Short electrical cord
