Progressive International Microwavable Quick Cobs Corn Steamer

I purchased and used this recently for the first time, and I really like the product. It does an excellent job at steaming small to medium size ears of corn. It does it by really locking in the steam tightly. No water needed and the corn isn't watery, as it sometimes can be when cooked in a kettle on the stove.

I didn't have large ears of corn, so I didn't have a problem with that, though I can see where that might be an issue. A slightly larger version of this would be good and take care of that problem.

No instructions were given on the packaging as to cooking time, but I found in my microwave that six minutes was right. Since microwaves vary, you have to experiment there. This could be used to cook/reheat other things, too. I really like the results I got and recommend the product.

Occasionally you will get corn that won't fit in here because it is too large, but this unit is very handy and does a very good job of steaming corn.

Great item for the summer corn season, and so easy to use. One ear takes about 4-5 minutes, two take about 7-10 minutes. You put 1/4 cup of water in each chamber, and it steams perfectly.

The lid does NOT snap on, as some expect, but fits on the top of the chamber. The corn will be hot, and perfectly cooked. Kind of fun to have this at the office too- very handy.

Of course, you could steam anything in this, but it is designed for corn. As for size, it has worked well so far. If one were to have extra large ears of corn, I think it would still work, though you might adjust the cooking time up a bit. Best for medium-large ears, I think.

Perfect for singles, college age, and seniors - who wants to fool with a pot, boiling water, salt, draining and clean-up, when THIS is an option?

One of the best.
