Aigostar 3 Tier Food Steamer, Electric Vegetable Steamer with BPA Free Baskets and Rice Bowl, 9 Litre, Refill While Steaming, Stainless Steel Base, 800W, Energy Saving, Silver

Really good steamer, well made, looks good and a great price.

Why oh why did I not buy one sooner?!?!??!! I bought this based upon the reviews which stated that it keeps the steam well sealed and it does! Apart from the holes in the lid to allow some steam to escape and the small lip at the side of the base where you can refill with water if you need to, the steam stays in the food containers. I used this on Sunday for the roast dinner. As I usually do at least 4 veg as well as roast potatoes, I use a lot of saucepans and washing up is the thing I hate the most after dinner. But after getting this, I could put, basically, up to 6 different veg in it (2 per container) depending upon how many you are feeding. I put the ones needing the longest to cook at the bottom and those requiring less cooking such as broccoli at the top and set it for 40 mins but 35mins were plenty and there was no problem about it boiling dry (I have burnt a few pans in my time, and those with carrots are a nightmare due to the sugar content!). The veg was cooked perfectly, soft enough for everyone but still firm. The broccoli seemed greener than when cooked in water. Thereby obviously retaining more of the nutrients. To me, the carrots tasted better too. And oh wow! Best of all, it was easy to clean at the end of the meal. Rather than 4 or 5 pans I only used 1 and this. Thank you Amazon!! I works perfectly, keeps the steam in where it should be and is very easy to clean.

I purchased these steamer after my trusty old one bit the dust. It is a very good sized steamer, and works great. The only issue I have is I find the lid quite flimsy, my last ine was solid plastic, this lid feels flimsy and sometimes I have a problem getting the lid to go on properly. Maybe it is just me? Yes it is a good steamer, yes it will feed a big family, yes it was value for money, flimsy lid but I can live with that.

It’s very large will take all your vegetables with out any trouble

Brilliant value for the price loads of room to Cook different vegetables

Don’t know what others are buying and reviewing but this is the worst steamer I have ever used! Ordered this as an alternative to one I have had for the last few years, which was fantastic but seen its day. Used for Christmas dinner today and cooked the veg for over an hour and a half and it was still uncooked! Absolutely ridiculous! Hardly any steam Produced whatsoever. Seemed to be sturdy and good from all the reviews but this was diabolical! Don’t bother and save yourself the trouble! This ruined Christmas dinner!
