Pros: Easy to use, auto-shutoff, 60 minute timer, 2 water levels, large capacity Cons: Would be nice to have a laminated "cheat sheet"!
I never thought that we needed a food steamer, so when we received one as a gift several years ago, I was skeptical. "Try it," my sister-in-law urged me. Try it we did, and soon we were steaming all sorts of fresh veggies. When it...
Pros: Two steamer bowls, rice basket, handy food charts Cons: Clean-up can be a pain, preparing an entire meal takes lots of trial and error
My husband and I were standing in a department store about three and a half years ago, registering for wedding gifts. He, scanner in hand, had just made a suggestion. How about a food steamer? Hmmmm, a food steamer. I wasn't sure I even knew what he...
We received this 6 quart Oster Steamer as a Christmas gift 3 years ago. When I first unwrapped it, I wasn't sure how much I would use it, and figured it would take up space in my cabinet.
The unit is made of plastic, has a cord that is 36...
Pros: easy to use and easy to clean Cons: timer goes on even unplugged
Well I had been thinking about buying one of these forever. But in my mind I am also thinking well that little "stainless steel thing I stick in my saucepan" is OK. Well...... let me tell you I have now arrived... what in the world was I...
Pros: keeps the flavor in the food Cons: short electrical cord
The oyster Food Steamer model 4711
Is the best food steamer I have ever used. It is easy to clean and store.
Keeps the flavor in the food instead of escaping as in an open pot. I have had it for 2 years now, and use at least 4 to 5 times a...
Pros: Quick Easy Meals Cons: Steam will Burn you! Be Careful!
I was talking to my father on the phone one night and I was complaining that it is taking forever for the rice to cook. After waiting 45 minutes or boiling and stirring it, it never seem to be the right consistancy, either too mushy or it had a bit of a...
Pros: Easy to use and clean Cons: A little on the bulky side
Arguably, a steamer isn't an absolute must in the kitchen. It's a nice little gadget, but the tasks it can accomplish can be done with other, more basic utensils. The main appeal (for me, at least) is convenience. I use mine to cook rice several times...
Pros: EASY to use! Cons: You have to dump the water out when you finish. Maybe you do with all steamers?
I've never used a steamer before and when I got one as a wedding gift, quite frankly, I thought it would spend most of the time in the kitchen cupboards.
But, it hasn't. So far, I use it at least twice a week. The Sunbeam-Oster steamer/rice...
I am a fresh vegetable and rice lover, so I have used many different types of food and rice steamers before. I bought this one because there was a separate rice basket and a timer, which I thought were handy features.
Pros: Large capacity, reasonably priced, low fat cooking, no problems Cons: None
Okay, so I am beginning to think that I have EVERY small appliance ever made -- scary, eh? However, there are some that sit on my counter and collect dust while others get used constantly. My food steamer is one of the work horses.
Pros: easy clean up, easy to use, Cons: basket could be a little bigger
We received the steamer for Christmas several years ago and love it. I would have to say that it is the most used appliance in my kitchen....and that's in a kitchen that doesn't get cooked in very often!!!
Pros: cooks fast, doesn't take up too much space Cons: water is very hot in the bottom when done-- careful!!
My husband hates vegetables! But, throw some zucchini, carrots or corn on the cob into this steamer, add a little "I Can't Believe Its Not Butter" and some garlic salt and he's all over it! I got my steamer four years ago in college. I used i ...
Pros: Easy to use, enjoy healthy steamed foods Cons: Clean up takes a little time
We received the Oster Steamer as a gift from our children, and it turned out to be our most used kitchen appliance. We recently started Weight-Watchers, and you can pretty much eat all the steamed vegetables you want, so the steamer has turned out to be...
I person on epinions by the name Nanspeak said she did not like this steamer. I disagree. I have had this steamer for about 3 months and I must say, all I have recieved from it is well-steamed vegetables. What I first recognized was that it was, in fact,...
