Product Description: Endorsed by fitness-guru Richard Simmons, this electronic food steamer features three individually controlled steaming compartments, so each food is steamed and ready simultaneously. Use all compartments at once, or only one or two. The middle heater provides 650 watts of power; the left and right heaters deliver 500 watts each. By setting the timer, three types of food can be cooked at different times, but finish all at the same time. Cook eggs, rice, vegetables, fruit, fish, and more. An audible signal indicates when food is ready. Steaming begins 30 seconds from the start time with the "express steam" setting, and each compartment can be set to cook for the same amount of time by using the direct-start function. The unit can also be set to keep food warm for one hour before automatically shutting off.

What I love? The horizontal placement of the bowls (instead of one that stacks on top of the other), the ability to set different time settings for each bowl, and the synchronized timing of all bowls to finish the cooking cycle at the same time. I cook in bulk a lot and this steamer makes that process very time efficient. It is user friendly as far as programing times for each bowl.
What I hate? It's mammoth huge. It takes up a lot of space in my kitchen. Before I received this item as a gift, I used two separate steamers which took up less space. Clean up is a royal pain and ... Read More
Rating: - This steamer makes dinner preparation less stressful.
I love this steamer. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there are so many parts to clean and dry after using it. I used it the first time tonight, and made steamed salmon using the recipe in the book that came with it with a couple of modifications, basmati rice with my usual herbs and spices, and baby asparagus. Each food went into a separate container and the timers were set for each. The only problem I had was that I didn't allow more time for the asparagus because it was frozen. After I started the steamer, I had time to make fresh salads for my husband and I, and actually had time ... Read More
Rating: - great product
I love this thing. I come home from work throw in a frozen chicken breast, a potato, and a veggie and walk away. Couldn't be easier and the food comes out perfect every time. The chicken is extremely tender and way better then being baked. Couldn't be more pleased.
Rating: - Bisphenol A (BPA)??????
I bought the steamer to cook vegetables to live a healthier life. It certainly cooks vegetables in a convenient manner, but I looked at the bottom of the hard plastic food trays included with this unit and I observed the number "7," which suggests the plastic food trays might contain Bisphenol A, a chemical that has been the subject of numerous recent news media reports that raise questions about heating and the possibility of Bisphenol A leaching into foods where it might be linked to potentially serious health issues. I wrote Salton, the company that manufacturers this unit and I asked if the company ... Read More
Rating: - GREAT STEAMER
THIS IS A GREAT STEAMER - MY ONLY OBJECTION IS THAT IT'S LARGE WHICH MEANS IF YOU'RE JUST STEAMING SOME VEGETABLES, USING ONE COMPARTMENT,
YOU HAVE TO CLEAN THE ENTIRE STEAMER (3 COMPARTMENTS) AFTER STEAMING.
I'VE DECIDED TO ALSO BUY A SMALL STEAMER FOR MY ONE ENTREE STEAMING AND USE THE LARGER ONE FOR ENTIRE MEALS.
