Summary: After one year still love this steamer... 2010-03-02
Comment: After going through a few different brands/models over the past 6-7 years, we just decided to go "low tech." We didn't need or want digital timers and any other bells & whistles. We eat a LOT of vegetables and rice, and we just wanted something that's simple, works well, and RELIABLE. 1+ year after purchase this unit is still working great. If we get at least another year then we will feel like we've gotten our money's worth.

Summary: Fabulous steamer! 2010-03-02
Comment: I have steamed rice, corn on the cob, eggs and shrimp.
Everything came out perfect, the fact you can add water while it is steaming puts this steamer far and away the best! Easy to use and easy to clean...you will be very happy with this purchase.

Summary: Great Steamer 2010-01-31
Comment: I rec'd this as a gift this past Christmas. I have never owned one before. Today, I used it for the first time steaming brussel sprouts. It was very easy to use and the sprouts came out tasty. Cleanup was very easy. The only problem I have is that there is no shut-off button, or if you try to turn the dial back to reset to a lower time, you can't do it.
I plan to steam chicken next......yum, yum!
