It’s possible to cook different foods at the same time, such as fish and vegetables. If ingredients require different steaming times, simply pause steaming to add extra ingredients part way through cooking.

It comfortably fits 500g of vegetables (probably you could put more in), which gives me a few meals ready for food prepping. It’s so easy, just chop it up and in a few minutes it’s done. Works fine also with frozen vegetables (I do 12minutes) which is even faster to prepare.
The only thing I didn’t expect that there is quite a bit of steam coming out of it so you want your (small) kitchen ventilated. I’m guessing all steamers do that?
So much better than my old stacking tefal model. Would highly recommend
Really love this machine, it steams food really quickly and doesn’t require any preheating. Size is alright, would have been nicer if it was taller. Really really easy to clean though, just throw everything into the dishwasher, and you’re done.
Love the all glass chrome chrome steel finish , no plastic to leach into the food .
Nothing to not like , quick easy and looks good .
It’s expensive, but worth it if you want a well designed steamer to use regularly. The power lead is a little short, but other than that I ‘m very happy with it.
Unlike many other similar appliances, this one steams from the above and hence prevent collection of dirty water onto the heating plate. The amount of steam is however less when compared to the case of steaming using a wok on a cooking hob. The rectangular container can enable steaming of fishes easier. I didn’t experience problem of a wrapping lid as pointed out by other reviewers. Cleaning by hand using detergent needs to be more careful with this all glass container and lid.
Great product it does not give you the display as advertised a few people have mentioned it and they are correct disappointing as it’s not cheap it was there when I switched it on then disappeared. Ive used it 4 times this week for eggs , rice , potatoes, veg can’t fault it I cooked one of the recipes Chicken with Lemon &Lime one breast had been frozen and defrosted turned out tuff maybe because it had been frozen the other was fresh turned out very nice
SInce I’ve received it a few weeks back, I’ve used it at least twice a day. I didn’t realise it would be so great to cook fruits as well, making apple/pear/banana purees in less than 10 min. Very happy from the health perspective but also because I’ve been using my gas much less, which is great for the environment and my wallet. Strongly recommending.
I am glad it doesn’t have preprogrammed settings which are usually inaccurate as they don’t take into account weight or size. I like the simple timer. it makes it much easier to use. The display is very easy to read. My old steamer timer was hard to set up and the display was hard to read.
The plastic lid for one of the steel trays is about 2mm too small so doesn’t fit the tray but this is not really an issue as it works perfectly well balanced on top of the tray.
Overall I am really pleased with this steamer.
So easy to use and clean, very fast to come to steam. Would buy again.
Delivered within 2 days of order. High quality product, very well built in every aspect. Works very efficiently. Easy to clean. Very pleased with produc
Really great Product, this product has a glass dish bottom and a glass lid with a stainless steel tray, it is perfect for cooking and steaming many different dishes, potatoes, vegetables and meats etc, we are so happy with this product that we plan to purchased another one! – it has a separate plastic container at the back for the cold water, which lifts out and refillable, (we use RO filtered water), this product is well recommanded and well worth the money!
I’ve used mine so far every day since I’ve had it, I love it.
I’m coeliac and now suffers IBS it helped wonders. The materials are excellent they cable cord is not gigantic ( so many cords around with so many appliances.
Buy it you will thank me
Bit big, awkward to find storage space for it and struggle to fit it in the. dishwasher.
I can honestly say this is the best kitchen appliance I’ve ever bought. It’s great quality and very substantial in weight. It cooks food to perfection and really does makes vegetables taste so much better. Add in the health benefits of steaming over roasting and boiling, then it’s clearly a winner.
I would absolutely recommend this steamer. It’s expensive, but buy cheap and buy twice! I’ve increased by vegetable consumption by around double without really thinking about it and I feel so much better for it.
