I have enjoyed having our Handy Steamer for some time now, using it intermittently for making steamed vegetables and similar dishes. It has proven to be sturdy, reliable, easy to use, and even easier to clean. It comes with a handy cookbook with recipe ideas and guidelines for how long to cook various types of foods.

This machine is limited in its functionality, however, because it only has two positions -- on and off. The only variables are how long you turn it on, and how much water you place in the steam chamber (which directly depends on cooking time to prevent the machine from boiling dry). Even so, it's definitely worth the modest investment to have one of these readily available in your kitchen.

I love this steamer. I got it for my wedding three years ago and use it all the time. It makes perfect rice everytime. It wonderfully steams veggies. We love adding different spices to add flavor. This also helps to cut back on using salt. I can't say enough good things about this steamer. Buy it and enjoy eating healthy!!!

This steamer and it's larger brother, the HS900, were the best units made. Unfortunately they've been discontinued in favor of less useful, gimmicky models.

The HS800 is a great size for 1-2 people depending what you're cooking. It's much easier to use and clean than the new models and units made by other manufacturers.

I had a steamer made by another manufacturer that had a large oval bowl, a separate fill chamber, and an electronic timer. I found the oval bowl more cumbersome, the separate fill chamber would require bleach cleaning to kill mold that tended to grow in it, and the electronic timer less convenient.

Get an HS800/900 before remaining stock runs out.
