i love this bamboo steamer. i have diabetes and cholesterol and was put on a very strict diet. my nutritionist recommended i get one of these to make my meals in. it is the best!! the only thing i advise anyone getting it is to buy the inserts that come separately to line each tray. the only thing wrong with mine is the size (but it was my fault i got it way too big). other than that i love it. meals are made so quickly, easily and there is absolutely NO FAT involved.

Helen's Asian Kitchen's natural 12 inch bamboo steamer is handmade and securely assembled with bamboo pegs and bamboo lacing.Unlike wood, bamboo is a grass, so it's a renewable and sustainable resource.A bamboo steamer is designed to sit over another pot containing boiling water (specially designed steaming rings make it easy to steam on 11 inch or 13 inch diameter stockpots).As the water boils, the steam enters the steamer through the open slats in the bottom and is contained in the steamer by the lid.The bamboo steamer absorbs any condensation, keeping water from dripping back onto the food.When heated, it forms a hot container and, with the cover in place, can keep food warm for up to half an hour.The bamboo steamer is also an attractive serving piece and may be brought right to the table.Foods that are steamed require little or no added oils or fats, and they retain vitamins and minerals and cook quickly and evenly.

This gizmo was bought for much cheaper and it is the same great one! Very easy to read instructions. Very simple to use and the food always comes out great! I have enjoyed using it and it has not been that difficult to clean. I also like that fact that it comes with several trays so that I have plenty of cooking space. A must have item!

I found that the Jobar steamer does a great job in steaming vegetables. I used it right away and made some great broccoli and carrots, vegetables were steamed and crisp and full of flavor.
I find that the size is good for large and small microwaves. Likewise, I loved that you can unstack it to a smaller size for storage.

Trudeau Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer Review

Trudeau Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I loved this little steamer when I first picked it up. It folds gracefully into a dish shape that fits variable width pans, it folds back into a disc for compact storage, the little holes in the metal are nicely spaced and the right width to let enough steam out but not let bits of the food being steamed fall into the boiling water. So far so good.
But, it has a plastic handle and little plastic feet that sit in between it and the inside of the pan you boil water in. When I first saw this I thought: "Huh. Plastic in a high-heat cooking tool. Ah well, it's probably some sort of strong, heat resistant plastic." Well yes, up to the temperature of boiling water, sure. But the temperature of the pan the little feet are sitting on is a bit hot for it. The feet (and part of the handle) actually melted into the metal disk and the bottom of the pan when I left the steamer on for a few minutes after taking out my steamed veggies. The smell of burnt plastic was just awful, and took forever to get rid of. And the pan I had sat the steamer in is now ruined- I'm not going to cook with it now that there are bits of plastic congealed on it and it smells like chemicals.
Conclusion: theoretically good design, but shoddy materials.

I received this cooker as a gift and was extremely pleased with it. I made a variety of different dishes. Uses include making delicate as well as hearty sauces, steaming, boiling water for noodles, an even deep frying. It has a greater capacity and greater ease of use than a Fry Daddy. The non-stick interior and exterior makes for quick clean up and the fact that it is fully submerssible (sp?) is a nice convenience.

This is a superb large steamer insert. It is great for large quantities of veggies or whatever you would like to steam. There is nothing like the flavor of freshly steamed veggies! It fits perfectly in the 6, 8, and 12 quart stock pots. I have only used it in the 6 and 8 quart stock pots myself. It is made very well and is excellent quality built to last. All Clad truly is lifetime cookware, I am sure you will not be disappointed. And it is backed by a lifetime warranty, what more can you ask for? Highly recommended! A+!

I received this steamer as a gift from my sister. I love it! I especially love that you can add your own herbs/spices in the spice basket. I have cooked all sorts of vegetables with it, with great results. However, I think the most surprising use (for me) was hardboiling eggs. I did not have one egg crack, and the shell just peeled off so easily when they were cool. I will never boil eggs again!

All-Clad Stainless Steamer Insert Review

All-Clad Stainless Steamer Insert
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This insert has been hanging in my kitchen for some years now, and I was recently given another. The new one is made in China despite the exorbitant All-Clad price, though it doesn't seem to make much difference. Both are equally unsatisfactory, except perhaps for draining vegetables, and there are more convenient ways to do that.
First, the steamer fits only one of my many pots --an LTD saucepan. And it doesn't fit it well. The little bead that rests on the pot rim is too shallow to make a good seal even with the pot the insert is made for, and hopeless with any other. Steam whooshes out over the pot rim without going through the veg, and the bad seal cools the steam and sogs the vegetables. The pot lid doesn't fit the insert very well, either, and drips cooling condensate into the vegetables --more sog.
The steaming surface is inches above the water (unless you boil an awful lot of water, when it bubbles up into the veg and sogs them). The steam doesn't circulate well and probably isn't hot enough to start with. An inch or so of water always steams better than 3 or 4 inches --don't ask me why.
The steaming surface is inadequate. All the holes are on the bottom, and kind of in the middle of that, and what steam reaches the top, or business half, of the steamer doesn't circulate well. More sog.
What with one thing and another, no quantity and no type of food cooks very well. Well, it's not too bad for Persian-style rice --the kind you pre-cook slightly, then finish by steaming.
Alternatives? Any folding steamer will do a better job. You can find a nice big one that will fit into your 13" LTD frying pan, if you're lucky. Take a pair of pliers and pull the lifter stem out of the middle (it's not much use anyway). You can get a lot of clams into this rig. Or use a smaller folding steamer in any pan --LTD pans with their tight lids are my favorite. The sauciers have domed lids which work even better.
If you have a steam canner, put a bamboo steamer and its bamboo lid on the plate (the big ones just fit). This makes the best steamed food ever, but it's a bit cumbersome for everyday.

This bamboo steamer is just the right size if you like to steam large quantities of food. I had a 10 inch steamer for many years and it finally wore out. I decided to get the next size and I'm happy I did.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Joyce Chen 3-Piece 12-Inch Bamboo Steamer

For healthy, flavorful cooking at home, turn to this three-piece bamboo steamer. Measuring 12 inches in diameter by about 6-2/7 inches high, it can accommodate a whole meal--place chicken and potatoes on one level and a medley of broccoli, zucchini, and bok choy on the other. Its dual-level design makes it possible to steam twice as much at the same time as a traditional steamer. Simply arrange any assortment of food on one or both tiers, cover with the double-woven bamboo lid, set the steamer in a wok or over a sauce pan that has a little water in it, and heat the water.
Steam cooking does not require the use of any oil or butter, which allows for low-fat healthy options, plus it preserves more vitamins and nutrients than other cooking methods. Made of naturally sustainable bamboo, the steamer will not swell, split, or absorb moisture, and it effectively retains heat to ensure a flavorful, evenly cooked meal. The lower level of the steamer will cook food more quickly, so use it for larger items; the top tier works well for vegetables or smaller pieces that require less cooking time. The bamboo steamer offers a great way to cook and serve Asian-inspired foods with authentic flair, and it should be hand washed and dried thoroughly.

I love this steamer. I got it to replace a two-tiered steamer I'd gotten over ten years ago. It heats up quickly and steams evenly, even though the baskets are large. I love the timer - no more winding and turning - and it's easily cleaned. The baskets nest so that they only take up the room of one basket while it's in the cabinet. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product. I'd purchase it again, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good steamer.

First I tried Salmon and asparagus and it came out nasty and dried out. But that is because I followed the directions. You almost have to experiment with lower power setting on your microwave. That's when this product proves it's greatness. The second time I tried Talapia at 4 and 1/2 minutes on power level 4. The steam cooks it fast, so you can now use this thing at the normal microwave temperature. Once you experiment and get the time and temp right, this thing can be great. The talipia came out moist and tasty, due to seasoning it.

I just got this steamer after going thru 3 of them in the past 13 yrs and I really like this one. Solid and sturdy plastic, great delay timer. Steamed our artichokes beautifully in 35 minutes. The only problem was that I had put too much water in and it wouldn't work...so I dumped out some of the water, turned it back on and it still shut off. Had to take it all apart, pour out the water then let it cool down for sev. minutes.... after all that, it worked!!! So, don't ever overfill with water!
