Customer Reviews

Happy receiver of our gift
We gave this product as a gift and the feedback we get is that the product is wonderful, and the receiver would not want to be without it now.

Outstanding Value
I usually do not write reviews, but I had to write one for this product. I bought my steamer about a year ago, after my daughter had purchased one and recommended it. I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews about the drip dish, and modifying the unit to make it more usable, but took the plunge.

I love it! The unit is reliable, easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. I use it constantly, whether for veges or fish or chicken or steamed dumplings. I do not have any problem with the drip tray, and as I mentioned, I have even cooked a chicken in the unit without any problems. I use it as it came, and have had absolutely no problem with it. (I do have a separate rice steamer from Japan so do not use this steamer for rice).

Several years ago I moved, and my old house had had a Miele wall steamer. I was joking with my daughter while I was steaming dinner tonight and remarked that I sure had found some real savings with my Oster over the Miele! Easier to clean, too!!

Seriously, I would recommend this product to anyone who likes to steam food.

Great Steamer
I have bought two of the steamers as gifts after using my unit. If you cook a lot of rice you will want a dedicated rice cooker. This machine does a great job of steaming vegetables. Before I buy any product I go to the manufactures site and down load (DL) the owner's manual to get an idea if the product will fill my requirements. I suggest before you buy this unit you also DL the owner's manual.
