What our customer's say!

"steamer really steams", This steamer works great and is really convenient when you have multiple foods to steam (including foods that require different cooking times). The only drawback is that it comes with very limited instructions regarding cooking times, so you have to experiment at the beginning. I didn't plan to use it to make rice, but it does a nice job there too.

"Nearly Useless", This cooking appliance is the first I've purchased with NO cooking guide or recipe booklet. The micro-print guide for vegetables on the back of the unit is not enough information to make me keep it. How much water should be added to rice in the rice bowl? Same as stove-top cooking, or less, because of the steam? What about brown rice, or pasta, or, as the instruction booklet suggests, poultry or meat? The instructions direct the user to "fill the water reservoir...to the appropriate line" with no advice about which fill line is appropriate.

I'm not willing to waste food or ruin meals with trial-and-error. I'm returning the product today.

"Reliable steamer", I've had this steamer for several years and it still works great! With two steamer baskets it has plenty of capacity to cook an entire meal, fish and veggies.

"I don't really like it", This product was sent as a wedding gift. We had put another smaller steamer on our list, but I guess the relative thought bigger was better. Anyway, it didn't come with any instructions on how long to cook stuff so it's a guessing game. It is a bit of a pain to clean and takes up too much space in our apartment. I tried to cook rice in it and the rice was still hard after 30 minutes! If I just want to make 2 servings of vegetables it's just too long of a process. For me, it is just annoying to deal with. If you don't have much space and you're only cooking for 1 or 2 people then you should get a smaller steamer.

"Excellent for all needs (BEANS ,TOO)", I am a vegetarian and recently turned vegan.So, most of my nutrients come from beans,other than nuts ,fruits,bread and vegetables. Earlier,I used slow cooker(crock pot) for boiling beans that took 3-4 hours.That was a healthy choice over traditiona boiling of beans in a pressure cooker.However, if you are in a hurry, crock pot does not work.
I learnt about steamer on different websites ,however nobody mentioned about beans.I came to know that it is good for all vegetables,corn,rice,etc.I was doubtful if it is good for beans.It took me one month to make up my mind and give it a try. And it was a wise decision.Now, I soak the beans every night before going to sleep.Next day,whenever i am in a mood to cook, I put all veggies, corn,beans in one tray and rice/oatmeal in other tray.And in half an hour everything is done.I dont have to monitor it as it has a very good working timer,so,in that half an hour, i do other jobs.I am very happy as now, i dont have cook in bulk and keep in refrigerator for 2-3 days.Each time,I cook fresh and eat healthy.My all other cooking appliances are out of work now except the breadmaker.I wish, if steamer could do that ,too.

"LIKE THIS STEAMER SO MUCH I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE RIGHT AWAY", ....SORTA.....MY AKITA CHEWED UP THE RICE BOWL...OF MY NEW STEAMER. TO REPLACE THE RICE BOWL COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS A NEW STEAMER, SO I OPTED FOR THE SECOND NEW STEAMER. AT LEAST I WILL HAVE SOME SPARE PARTS JUST IN CASE. I WON'T BE LEAVING THE RICE BOWL IN THE KITCHEN SINK THIS TIME. THIS STEAMER IS VERY VERSATILE AND EASY TO USE.

"Simple, it just works!", This is my second one (first one sent off to a friend after many years of use). It is simple (just a mechanical dial for minutes). Steam saturates the container in 3~5 minutes, so add your cooking time on top (if you are looking at a cook book specifically written for this model, they might have incorporated that start-up time). Hard water scaling on the heating element can be removed / controlled by boiling the water with a teaspoon of lemon juice, and cleaning with cloth (to me, it is a maintenance routine once in a while).

"Very convenient and clean; not good for steam fish ", I like this steamer. It makes steam and clean easy. The only thing is if you steam fish in the bowl offered by the product, it usually takes longer. So, it's a bit hard to set the right time.

"I LOVE it...but", This product is fantastic. I am very glad I bought it. It works very well and is easy to use. We will definitely eat more veggies this way. But...don't expect to have any clue how long to cook anything. The guide inside says how to turn it on and where stuff goes but that is it. You will have to buy a cookbook to figure out how long anything should cook. And bookstores have not caught on to the steam craze so save yourself the lookign and buy one on Amazon.

"Instructions were Incomplete", I have owned an older model like this one and loved it but after 10 years the timer stopped working. I purchased this one as a replacement and immediately looked at the instructions. Yes it was in many languages but totally incomplete! There was NO mention about how to cook the rice in the rice bowl or how much water to add. Also, the complete instructions about cooking other foods was missing. I went to the Black & Decker site which had nothing but finally found the complete instructions online at [...]. I hope that Black & Decker will remedy this situation.
