Elite Gourmet Maxi-Matic Electric Food Vegetable Steamer with BPA-Free 3 Tier Stackable, Nested Basket Trays, Auto Shut-off 60-min Timer, 800W, 9 Quart, Stainless Steel

Had a similar steamer some years ago but the older models had trays of hard plastic that eventually cracked from cleaning. This steamer has softer plastic that seems more durable and easier to clean. Caution: some steam rises above the steamer even with the cover in place, so don't use any kind of steamer directly under a low kitchen cabinet or under-cabinet lighting. Operating the steamer couldn't be any easier: just fill the water reservoir (lower volume = faster heating and steaming). Put the items to be steamed into 1, 2, or 3 stacked trays, then set the timer dial, walk away, and let it steam. I would suggest times of 5 minutes for fresh vegetables (carrots, broccoli, string beans, cauliflower, and portobello or shiitake mushrooms turn out great), 8 minutes for frozen vegetables, 12 minutes for frozen vegetarian dumplings, and 15+ minutes for frozen dumplings containing any kind of meat or seafood filling. If you need to split the food over 2 or 3 stacked trays, put the meat items on the lowest tray to get the most steaming; the upper trays will get less steam when there is something on the lower trays absorbing some of the steam, so you can safely put vegetables in the upper trays and just cook everything for the same amount of time as the lowest tray. A must-have kitchen appliance!

Me gusta que es fácil de usar, en términos generales, sin embargo, no hay mucha claridad en los tiempos de cocción para los distintos alimentos y bandejas. El deposito de agua no es muy fácil de limpiar, puesto que es donde está la parte eléctrica, y es difícil que no se le forme sarro ahí. Pero me gusta bastante que puedes cocinar fácil, rápido y sano.

Product works, Used it to steam some dumplings and reheat stew. Bottom tray gets the hottest, so you should cook stuff that take longer at the bottom and use top tray for stuff that require less cooking time.

Excelente producto, funciona de maravilla. Bien sencillo de usar, lo unico es que no viene con instructivo de funcionamiento, aunque en realidad pues no lo necesitas. Los niveles traen su numero marcado en las agarraderas y se apaga el calentador si se acaba el agua. Muy contento con la compra.

Leí varias reseñas pero realmente no importa que no traiga instrucciones tan precisas, creo que es muy lógico el funcionamiento, sirve para lo que se diseñó, las charolas son muuuuy amplias, se apilan bien y se guardan. Yo tengo una máquina para pan de la misma marca y es muy buena.
