What Others Say
One of the best ways to get steamed
The top ranked steamer here is the Oster and probably for good reason. It is a good value for the price.
Background: I have had a Rival steamer for about 20 years. It is ultimately simple and has been easy to use, however it has zero controls. You plug it in and it works until the water is gone. The way you time your cooking is by how much water you add. It is solid and easy to clean. It finally gave up and lately would only cook by turning on and off when it felt like it.

Best thing I bought for my kitchen!
I am so happy with this steamer! It cooks a great food. I already cooked potatoes with red peppers, carrots, squash, zucchini, green beans, asparagus, fish (tilapia and cat fish), chicken... and I LOVE IT!
It's true that it's kind of hard to take a part steamer after cooking because of hot water in the tray. I had a hard time cleaning buckets after cooking fish or chicken.
Use different spices with whatever you cook, and the food will be just perfect!
The only thing I don't like is that I bought this steamer for $35, and it became $24.99 couple days later.
Simple and efficient
Bought the steamer in order to deal with vegetable side dishes, for which we have used it a good number of times with excellent results. Beans, broccoli, carrots, asparagus, and many others turn out crisp and tasty, and the price was certainly right. No complaints.
Great product but larger than the picture
This is a good product but watch out - its bigger than it looks. I was looking for something more compact. Great steamer in function though.
Great!
I was very happy with this purchase. Works perfectly, and gives me a lot of choices to cook healthy meals. It is great for steamed rice and for steamed vegetables.
