There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The two steaming trays were designed for food like in the picture: meat, chicken or fish at the lower tray and vegetable on top tray. But since we steam same product in both trays, we had to swap trays and add 10 minutes, as we thought the dumplings in upper tray were not cooked thoroughly. But as mentioned, result was fantastic.
After that, we put the trays and lid in the dishwasher (on top level as recommended) and they came out fine and clean. The trays feel flimsy so extra care is required. I wish the trays and lid were made with heavier plastic or glass; I am willing to pay more for it. Washing the water reservoir is a bit of hassle as you need to take not getting water into the electrical part. But it only take a few minutes.
It is certainly a starter steamer. For the price, if I can get a year use of it I would be happy. Here is my wish list:
1. Separate tray for water reservoir to make cleaning easy (grease and stuff will drop to the reservoir, so you have to clean it)
2. Heavier gage plastic or class tray
3. Some wire trays to lift food from steam vent
If there is on with this size and all three items above, I would gladly pay for it. For now, I am happy with this steamer.
The trays aren't extremely stable so I'm sometimes worried about bumping and knocking down the entire unit. It's a simple steamer, not a super powerful one, but it'll do the job as long as you have the patience.
Some of the better ones also have a catch tray, where juices dripping down or other small pieces of stuff will fall into that tray instead of the reservoir unit.
And contrary to amazon review system suggestion, this unit does not have any flavor in itself. The food tastes great though :)
1. It's not too big nor too small
2. It's very simple to use
3. It's easy to clean and pack away.
4. Very affordable
5. Most importantly, veggies are steamed to perfection and taste so delicious. Nevermind all those concerns about it not being BPA free and not being certified or approved by this one or that one, hey, we all still gonna die of something some day lol. There's a lot of things affecting our health these days that if you begin counting them, doomsday will catch you and your list still won't be complete. You may as well enjoy great tasting steam veggies while you're alive!
Tip: don't steam pork or sausage in it. Well, I guess you can, but I tried pork chops and sausage once and while the meat does cook well, it was too messy for me. All the fat dripped down on the water reservoir and even after washing it had a porky smell. Had to clean it several times with Clorox to get the smell out. Chicken and fish are less fatty so maybe it wouldn't be that malodorous but it's not something I want to try. I'll just keep using it to steam veggies.

A few tips: 30 mins for corn on the cob, 10 minutes for broccoli, 15 minutes for baby carrots and 15-20 minutes for chopped or mini potatoes works great. Haricot verts can get squishy if you leave them in for too long, so keep a close eye on them (10-12 minutes, usually).
If you're not fastidious about cleaning the bottom area out after the water has been drained, it can accumulate some funk. This is pretty easy to clean out with a scouring pad, soap, and warm water, though.
I've owned a few steamers, and this one is by far my favorite. Worth every penny!

2. You need to be very careful when using it. The plastic is very thin.
