Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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.

Rating: - Reliable steamer

If you don't have much space and you're only cooking for 1 or 2 people then you should ... Read More
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
