Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Equipped with a fan that circulates steam, this steamer cooks foods quickly and evenly, and it's big enough to prepare a healthful, family-size, balanced meal of protein, starch, and vegetables. The steamer includes two transparent steaming trays: The main tray holds 6 quarts and is oval-shaped to accommodate a whole fish or chicken and long items like asparagus. The second tray can be used to cook additional foods, especially those requiring less time. There's also a rice-cooking bowl large enough to hold 5 cups of cooked rice. Cooking is controlled via a touchpad panel that consists of a 60-minute timer with a digital readout and buttons to increase or reduce time, start, and stop. The water reservoir displays ideal cooking times for various foods. For easy cleanup, most parts are dishwasher-safe, and the fan detaches. Recipes accompany the steamer, which is 11-1/2 inches high, 14-1/2 inches wide, and 12 inches deep and carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
Product Description
Steam your way to better health! This appliance combines the traditional electric steamer with the circulating fan of convection cookers, thus relieving you of the need to stir or turn the foods during the cooking process. Cook everything in the large tray, or cook smaller, and more delicate foods in the smaller tray on top of the large one. There's even a separate rice bowl for cooking up to 2 cups of brown or white rice to moist perfection.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Perfect Nutritional Choice,
By S. M. P. (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuisinart TCS-65 Deluxe Turbo Convection Steamer (Kitchen)
This steamer is very nice. It is large, well made and easy to use. It even cleans up fast. I use it daily for dinner. I just line up the vegetables and meats on the two wide and long trays. Press the up/down buttons to set cook time and hit start, what could be easier? A full, healthy meal for a family that adds no artery clogging saturated fat/trans fat by way of oils. What could be smarter? The only risk involved is when you ignore the instructions and common sense by opening a working steamer, as another reviewer did. Each to their own eh? But I had to get the truth out about this. This steamer impresses both Donna (my lovely g/f) and myself. I also considered the TCS-60 and other models. But this model is very solid, very quiet and fair priced. I'm very pleased. Good Luck to you.

This steamer does a great job,
By Wade Albright (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuisinart TCS-65 Deluxe Turbo Convection Steamer (Kitchen)
This steamer has a big capacity, cooks stuff really fast, and is really easy to use. All the parts are easy to clean, and everything but the base can go into the dishwasher. Nice slippery, tough plastic that your food comes right out of without sticking. It cooks rice as well as anything else, so save yourself the trouble of buying a separate rice cooker. I had a cheap rice cooker that didn't cook the rice well, and broke after about 2 months. Do yourself a favor and get this instead, even if you only want to cook rice.You can also cook beans in a very short amount of time as compared to traditional methods. I would agree with the other reviewer regarding the safety factor; you should know better than to open a working steamer. Would you give a stove 0 stars because it was too easy to burn yourself on it? A knife 0 stars because it was just too darn sharp? I highly recommend this steamer.
