There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As for the reviews that say they can't get the lid to snap down on the sides, whenever I have an issue where I can't get it to snap I just spin it a 1/4 turn and it will snap. I have never had it not snap at all. I think that the steamer is not perfectly square (even though it looks square) and the lid just needs to be turned when you can't get it to snap. ***This may not work for everyone, as your steamer may need you to figure out exactly which lid side matches up to which base side or yours just may not fit right at all. I am only basing this on my experience with my steamer and I hope it helps others.***
I also recommend being careful with the steamer when you remove it from the microwave because the steamer itself will be hot and the steam will be hot either from the steam release on the lid or from removal of the the lid. Use hot pads, oven mitts, or a towel of some kind and stay safe. I say this merely because a lot of people don't have experience with steaming food and may not be aware of how hot steam can be, especially if they don't cook a lot or have been in the kitchen helping someone else cook.
If you are in the market for a steamer, this is a very good choice and, if you choose to buy it, I hope you will be as happy with it as I am :)
We ordered this large one because we eat a lot of veggies, plus I want to try streaming Seitan to see if it will make things quicker and still come out good.
This streamer holds a lot. Over 13 cups in the large model.
Being bigger than a typical streamer, I push the fresh veggie button on the microwave and then I have to cook it on manual for another few minutes.
I like that it has a button on top to release the steam. Our old one used to shoot out steam when you pried the top off. Also, it has 4 locks on the sides of the top.
If you decide to take the top off and then put it back in to cook some more, make sure all 4 locks click on.
The housing gets softer from the heat. You don't want it popping off while you're taking it back out.
the only thing I wished would be included was a pamphlet for guidelines how long to steam certain food.
The solution is to place your thumbs on the ends of the individual latch and presto it easily snaps into place.
Have not done the research yet but think that a smaller unit would enable user to separate the hard and easy cook stuff so that one container could be removed for the tender stuff and allow the other unit to continue to cook.
The Tupperware steamer is 9" in diameter. Going back many, many years to my school days I was able to recall that area equals pi multiplied by (r squared). So, my Tupperware steamer is 63.585 square inches. The Tupperware instructions for broccoli are to use 1/2 cup of water and steam for 5 - 8 minutes. The size of this Sistema steamer is 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" which comes in at 72.25 square inches. Since the Sistema is slightly larger than the Tupperware I decided to up the water amount to 2/3 cup. My broccoli recipe was for the florets to be used in a dip so to make them a bit firm I used the minimum suggested Tupperware time of 5 minutes.
When I removed the broccoli it was just a bit less firm than would be ideal if using for dipping purposes or as a side dish. In conclusion, I believe that 2/3 cup of water and perhaps 3 to 4 minutes of steaming time would be appropriate for starters and the times could be fine tuned for other veggies and for personal taste.
As far as my rating goes I always start with five stars and adjust accordingly. In this case I removed one star for not providing any instructions on the amount of water to use. I removed one star for not providing any suggested cooking times. I gave it three stars because it can steam veggies that could be done properly after you calculate the length of steaming time and the optimal amount of water to use for reach type of veggie.

Die Handhabung ist denkbar einfach. Einfach das gewünschte Gemüse oder Fisch in den Korb legen, Wasser in den Boden gießen, den Deckel aufsetzen und ab in die Mikrowelle. In kürzester Zeit zaubert der Dampfgarer leckere und nährstoffreiche Gerichte. Der rote Farbton verleiht ihm zudem eine fröhliche Note in meiner Küche.
Die Qualität des Materials ist hervorragend. Sowohl der Korb als auch der Deckel sind robust und spülmaschinenfest. Die Größe des Dampfgarers ermöglicht es mir, größere Portionen auf einmal zuzubereiten, was besonders praktisch ist.
Insgesamt kann ich den Sistema Microwave Dampfgarer wärmstens empfehlen. Er ist nicht nur funktional und effizient, sondern macht das gesunde Kochen zu einem unkomplizierten Vergnügen. Definitiv eine verdiente 5-Sterne-Bewertung!
