The steamer functions well but I am concerned about the long term durability of the plastic steamer bowls. The plastic seems a bit thin and something that can be broken easily if proper care is not taken. Overall, I am glad I purchased the steamer because it does a great job and I love the auto-shut off feature.
The food steamer is easy to use, easy to clean, and does a good job. Based on other reviews, I thought there might be a problem with storage, but the counter top space needed isn't nearly as big as my previous steamer (it died, this is its replacement), and the bowls stack in each other which also helps. The only downside is the steaming bowls seem a bit fragile. I do hope they hold up over time. I look forward to lots of steaming with this item.
This is such a great product. The Westbend steamer has three baskets for holding fresh vegetables, fish, shrimp or even hard boiled eggs. We love to eat healthy and this appliance allows you to steam two or three vegies, fish, etc all at the same time there is even a small basket to put rolls in to freshen them up. What a great idea! I thought the price was a little high and then I found it at Walmart where the price is always right. Thanks Walmart for letting us live healthier and better!
Very versatile. Multiple functions. Can cook whole dinner. Lots of plastic , so caution in handling and washing advised. We are very pleassed.
I purchased this item for my wife as a Christmas gift knowing that we all wanted to eat healthier. Little did I know that it was going to be such a big hit. We truly have used this product nearly every night since. We have always used all three trays and have steamed our veggies rather than cooking on the stove top. Not only are the veggies more tasteful but I also believe that no more than it takes to steam all of these, that it it actually saves us money on our electric. I do wish the bowls were glass but it could possibly add to the cooking time if they were. It is also a snap to clean and store. Actually we have only put it in the cabinet one time, but when we found out how often we are using it, we just made space for it on our countertops. It's definately not an eyesore, strikes up conversations with visiting guests, and I know first hand that three of these have been purchased by others since we started using this one. High Five and Thumbs Up on such an inexpensive yet a must for every kitchen.
I received my food steamer within a week. My boss told me about the steamer and was pleased with hers. So I figured let me give it a try. Wow is all I have to say I can't believe I didn't get this sooner. Making a meal without having to stand over a stove was great and the food tasted even better. Its so easy my son can do it (15 yrs old). I know what I am getting my daughters for xmas ( 20yrs and 24yrs).
This product steams vegestablesand other foods just right for the maxium flavor of any foods
While looking for something for a way for my family to eat healthy I came across this. It's large enough that I can cook all the food in, meats and veggies. Even chicken with bone-in. Most other steamers do not allow that. Only one down side, clean up on the trays after meats are a little tough. The food can get stuck in the holes which can be hard to get clean. I'm a little afraid to put the trays in the dishwasher because our dishwasher is known for melting plastics. But overall I love the size, the fact it steams fast and my kids loves to help put the veggies in, which helps them want to eat them!
I love this steamer! But be forwarned.... it is huge! With three tiers you can steam up a big bunch of corn on the cob or whatever! It starts steaming almost instantly! I put corn in one level and broccoli in the upper one (I've only used two tiers so far). It's well worth the price but also takes up a goodly amount of storage space when not in use.
This is the first steamer I have owned. I'm very happy with my purchase. Food cooks quickly - a whole meal fitting on a single tray for two people - so clean up is a snap. The only caution are the trays are made of a clear plastic and should be handled carefully. I can see where they could crack easily under too much pressure.
