There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I noticed some reviewers mentioned needing to watch the water level so it wouldn't evaporate before things were steamed. I paid attention to that, but I did not have any trouble at all. There's plenty of clearance between the bottom of the steamer and the bottom of the base pan to put a good amount of water. As some mentioned, there's a teeny vent hole on the glass lid, which helps keep the pan from bubbling over (I assume). The steamer part doesn't fit "snugly" on the base, but it sits evenly and well enough to do a good job.
I'm very happy with this purchase - it's a perfect solution for me when I want a healthy way to prepare a smaller amount of food.
FYI - I ordered mine through one of the sellers that offered it for a bit less - it was a few dollars cheaper and still came with free shipping. The item was new when it arrived, and although the seller mentioned there might be damage to the box it came in, the box was also fine. I wasn't sure I'd like it, and after using it I can say I''d happily have paid full price if that was the only option.
Now, why 5 stars???
I once steamed carrots and left them on the stove for too long. The water evaporated and my carrots and the pot burnt. Everything was black. I thought I had ruined the pot, but I was able to clean it so well that it looks like it never happened. The steamer to say the least has held well. So here are the overall stats.
Pros:
Easy to clean
Size perfect to cook baby food
Size works great for at least 2-3 serving size.
Quality material
Stores well
Holds up to every day use
Glass lid let's you see when food is done
Cons:
To be objective, I will say, that the bottom portion of the steamer does stain somewhat on the outside, which makes me think that perhaps is not 18/10 all the way. This doesn't bother me because the inside does stay nice, clean and shiny. The top steamer portion does not have this problem. It has kept its stainless luster. The lid has held shiny and clean as well.
Overall, if you are looking for a mini steamer this one won't let you down.
The size is appropriate for one or two people. It fits all the vegetables a single person or a couple may eat in one meal. The single guy may include a steak of fish.
The following are two secrets I stole from my ex French wife: A) In a round bowl, she mixed all vegetables with Olive Oil and Herbs de Provence [no spices but herbs] before starting the steamer. She let the vegetables in the bowl for a while. B) She never used water but BEEF BROTH to steam veggies.
That particular broth and the herbs add a taste that plain water cannot provide, and the nutrients from the oil and herbs add to the nutrients from vegetables and fish. All in all, if you are single or just a couple, this 'Norpro Steamer' is all you need to easily prepare healthy vegetables and fish.
I have a word of warning not to be ignored, however. This appliance looks good and it fills your eyes, but it is made of very thin and light weight material. So much so that the Manufacturer & Seller insist to not place it inside an oven and to not let it run dry. They know why: the thin metal will melt! Should you treat and use this steamer correctly, it will serve you well.
In my case, this 'Norpro Steamer' is my salvation easily giving me tasty and healthful veggies and fish; but if I want heavenly delicious meals, another French wife is better.
