Handiest and Healthy July 15, 2008
This product is handy and healthy! The flexible, plastic steamer is designed to fit into most pots. The plastic is easy to use and clean. The product works well- vegetables steam up quickly. The handles make retrieving the steamer out of the pot very easy. I don't know how I have steamed vegetables without this product.I highly recommend this steamer. It would make a great addition to any kitchen and/or a great gift. It is very inexpensive and would pay for its use quickly.
terrific steamer June 24, 2008
What a great product! This is the best steamer I've ever owned. It's one of 2 or 3 best kitchen gadgets I've bought in the last year, super versatile, strong, light, flexible, easy on your good pots (I have no problem getting it out of pots), steams veggies perfectly, and best of all, it's really fun to use. Kids love it and want to help with supper just so they can get out the fun steamer and put it in the pot. Imagine you kids actually requesting vegetables for dinner - so they can use the steamer!
Buyer be aware........... June 18, 2008
this product is addictive. You may feel a strong urge to use often. I use daily. I gave one to my 75 year old aunt. She said it was stupid. Now she uses daily. Says it is the most useful thing she has ever had in her kitchen. When she started cooking she didn't have runing water. Figure that. It fits in my 5 1/2 qt Staub and my 1 1/2 qt AllClad. I like to put garlic & stuff in the water to infuse into the vegetables, shrimp, rolls, potatos. Fill a 2 cup plastic container half full of prepared cake mix. Put it in the steamer (no "garlic & stuff" in the water). Cover. Nuke 7 min on medium. Best, most moist cake ever. Little Jiffy Mix is right size.
Great! May 8, 2008
This steamer is so easy to use - and cute! I can easily throw it in a small pot with some water and veggies and let it do the work. I also love the fact that it's microwave and dishwasher safe. I have never used a steamer before, so I had to figure out the correct amount of water to put in without the water boiling up and just boiling the veggies, but now I know.
 Great all-around steamer March 24, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this steamer about a year ago, and from the first, I just loved it. I had no idea how much better veggies taste steamed than boiled. Much more flavorful and fresh-tasting! It fits both my small and medium sized Revere cookware pots. So easy to use - just push down into the pot and steam away. When done, just toss into the dishwasher. It comes out looking like new every time. So far I have only used it for veggies, but would definitely consider steaming other types of food.
I would have given this five stars, but I find it very hard to get it out of the pan once the veggies are done. It's a pretty tight fit even in a medium pan and when I pull on the loops to get the whole steamer out with forks or tongs, etc., it just flips over and the veggies end up in the water. You really need three hands to get it out correctly - one to hold the handle of the pot, and two to yank the steamer out by the loops. You could just scoop the veggies out of the pan without pulling the whole steamer out, but I consider this a flaw in the design.
On the whole, I would recommend this to anyone.
