Orka Multi-Steamer, Green

Product Review

Studies show time and time again that one of the healthiest of all cooking methods is steaming. Steaming helps retain valuable vitamins and nutrients in food, without all the added fat. Now steaming has never been easier, or more fun! Made from 100% pure premium silcone, a product found in nature, the Orka Steam Cooker is a safe and easy to use. The 42 oz size is our largest size available to date-it's the perfect size for family meals or longer cuts of meat and fish. To use, add your favorite meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and seasoning. Heat in the microwave; food cooks without added fats, steaming in its own juices. Meat remains tender, fish cooks without drying out and vitamins and minerals are preserved. The Orka Steam Cooker is heat safe to 430 degrees fahrenheit and is microwave and dishwasher safe. Steamer is not intended for oven or stovetop use. It features rigid, easy to grip handles, a non-stick and stain-resistant surface and as an added feature, a recipe booklet is included!

Hard plastic parts retains strong odors, description not accurate, June 1, 2010

LC (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Orka Multi Steamer (Kitchen)

The steaming works as advertised. Bought at Macy's and returned because I wasn't happy with the product. Description is not accurate: only the colander component and lid are made of silicone, the transparent bowl and divider plate are made of hard plastic (needed to hold its structure/form, otherwise food and liquid would spill out). What bothers me is that the hard plastic retains strong odors like garlic after just one use. Also it doesn't indicate if that plastic is BPA free or not.

wonder microwave steamer, August 25, 2009

This review is from: Orka Multi-Steamer, Green (Kitchen)

I had the occasion to witness several members of my family use this item while visiting in France this summer. Everyone has had a vegetable garden for years so we were able to compare many kinds of vegies, from potatoes to leeks, beets, and a few others, which normally would take a very long time to cook in boiling water. Everything cooked much faster and retained the important vitamins that would otherwise be lost during the boiling process. It also prevents the house from heating too much.
I am enjoying my new purchase greatly, not to forget that it is dishwasher safe as well. At this time I have not yet used the top tray. I sometimes also use it as a simple strainer to wash fresh fruit or vegetables and let it sit in its base while draining, and for storage in the fridge since it has a convenient lid.
I find this product totally awsome and practical.

This steamer works beautifully for veggies. Perfect every time. It's also an attractive serving bowl. One of my best kitchen purchases.
