I've loved everything I've made with it - beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, corn on the cob, sweet potatoes, Idaho potatoes, baby red potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, hard-boiled eggs, brown rice, wild rice, and chicken. It feels like gaining a super power to be able to throw in a chicken breast and some root vegetables and have a healthy meal ready for my husband and me within fifteen minutes. It is easy to pause the steamer to add items toward the end when they need to cook at different timings. It feels like a "one pot meal." I loved my air fryer, but this fits more food, cooks more evenly, and I believe leaves in more nutrients. I had bought an expensive rice cooker that I never use because no matter what I did it would leave a layer of burnt rice on the bottom and was messy to clean. With this steamer, I simply fill an oven safe bowl with rice and water, cover with tin foil, and I have perfect rice with no mess. I can even cook rice alongside chicken and veggies. The steamer is easy to use and to clean. It has met all my expectations and revitalized the healthy way my husband and I eat.

This is a quality product for people who are steaming on a regular basis. It's much easier than using a steamer and a pot on the stove-top for me. I like that I can see what's going on, so I'm less likely to overcook delicate veggies. The steamer holds more than a typical stove-top one which is really helpful and steams much more evenly. I do stay close by but there is less babysitting and less ruined food. It's very easy to use. I have used distilled and spring water and haven't noticed a difference. My two complaints about the water reservoir are that a) it's plastic and b) it can't really be opened up for cleaning. Maybe that seems unnecessary but I'd like the option. It works fast. The pre-set options work well although you really have to watch it. Mostly, I have steamed potatoes, green-beans, carrots and the like. For people who appreciate 'just-enough,' steamed veggies and delicate foods you will enjoy the precision and evenness of cooking this brings. Overall I am very satisfied and I believe this appliance is helping to improve my family's and my diet and therefore our quality of life.I actually feel that most veggies are more delicious and enjoyable steamed vs other harsher cooking methods but I HATED dealing with the stove-top steamers that always seemed so fussy and too much work. I now have no excuse to NOT steam my food: it's faster and easier than any other cooking method! I have discovered some new 'recipes too,' that helped me to enjoy old favorites in new ways. For instance broccoli rabe was a bit of a delicacy in my house, not just for flavor but because of the long process for cooking. The end result was delicious but often greasy and as mentioned very time-consuming and tedious, not to mention messy. Well, spontaneously I decided to try steaming it. I just took the bunches and plopped them on the tray closed the lid and hit start. They came out tender, flavorful and ready to eat in but a few mins! No oil or salt. We can now enjoy this delicious and nutritious veggie on a much more regular basis and I never have to worry about using it in time or not.This is just the beginning. I will be enjoying and trying new things with my new favorite appliance for a long time.One more note.. if you can find appropriate heat-proof containers that will fit I have reheated food in this.. it was not entirely cold but seems to have good results. There will be moisture accumulation if the food is exposed vs closed but reminds me of when I used to use my IP for reheating foods vs microwave or stovetop, etc. this method is much gentler though.And if you are steaming veggies water does collect at the bottom of the container and you can use that as a light broth or flavoring liquid in your recipes.Just be sure to rinse after each use. I left it once for a day or two after steaming veggies and the smell was horredous. Came right out though after washing.Be careful with the tray if you are handwashing, the perforations are sharp and I did cut myself.

Fantastic device! Easy to use and very easy to clean. Great with fish and chicken. To reduce fat, I even cooked hamburger patties we had in the freezer then crumbled them with rice. Wife has gallbladder issues so low, or no, fat cooking is essential and this thing does the job. Probably one of the most useful things in the kitchen and I use it at least 3 or 4 times weekly. I do have some serious suggestions for Cuisinart though. 1) Tilt the display screen so I don't have to keep bending over to check times. 2) Add an option to manually set 3 or 4 times; i.e. cook 15 minutes then beep; cook 15 more minutes then beep; cook another 10 minutes then beep, for a total cook time of 40 minutes. 3) Put a speed dial on the knob. It takes a long time to crank up to 40 minutes. 4) Print approx steaming time or at least a measurement on the reservoir. I use only distilled water so that would save a bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars I totally recommend this steamer! No plastic! 🙌🏼 I love it!!

Product voltage is not meant for Asia & seller did not state it in the product descriptions. I had to go through the hassle of returning it. And I have yet to receive my refund.

Terrible product— broke immediately

Turned on once and then never again. What a waste of money— straight in the rubbish. Had a US plug and we used our adapter for Australian electric outlets. You should not sell to Australia if your product can’t be used in Australia even with an adapter— it’s unethical.

Excelente producto

Muy util, fácil de limpiar y los alimentos quedan perfectos. Aunque es muy resistente, solo me gustaría saber si se puede comprar la charola por separado para tener una de repuesto.

This is one tough item to purchase. Why? Because it's so popular and practicable. . When a product is as terrific as this one, it get sold out very quickly. I searched for some time before I was able to find one in stock. I did not hesitate to purchase it. My advice...this is, by far, the preferred method for preparing foods such as vegetables, eggs, shrimp etc. So, if your not sure about this item, my advice is that you will not be sorry adding this kitchen appliance to your kitchen's collation.

Great Steamer

A high-end countertop steamer. Looks awesome, easy to operate, and the food tastes great.Compared to the Hamilton Beach one I had before, the steam comes out much faster, and the all-glass removable main container is super easy to clean.One drawback is that if steaming something in a bowl, it cannot be directly put below the outlet of steam, or a lot of water will accumulate in the container.My only concern for now is how it handles the hardness in tap water after long term use.
