Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Anyone with a small or crowded cooktop will appreciate the practicality of this double steamer from Norpro. The high-quality stainless-steel steamer can be split up and used separately with the push of a button, but its true value comes in its ability to steam two separate dishes in the same pot. Many bamboo steamers can accomplish this task, but most are sized to fit over a wok, which can dominate a small cooktop. The larger steamer (7-1/8 inches in diameter) fits into any larger pot, which leaves plenty of room on the rest of your stove. Since the steamers detach with one button push and reattach with even less effort, staggering your cooking times within the same pot is simply accomplished. This gadget is definitely worth this small investment. --Julija Gelazis

Great item ! Norpro makes very versatile double steamer.It's easy to use and easy to clean.It's big enough to steam large items, Yet can be small enough for lesser amounts.It can be seperated to cook in seperate pots so flavors won't mingle and it saves cooking time.It foldes compactly to take less storage space than larger steamers. So if you already have pots this should be the only steamer you ever need.

4.0 out of 5 stars It steams well, June 22, 2006

This steamer comes in two pieces. The lower steamer is the larger one with a plastic central stalk. The upper, smaller one will click on this stalk to make a double layered steamer.

Works well. I wish the space between the two tiers was a little more so I could steam larger pieces of broccoli in the lower steamer.

Unlike the other reviewer here, I am GLAD the stalk is made of plastic. If it were metallic, it would get too hot to handle. The plastic stands up well for stove-top use. I've used it A LOT and it still looks new.

Dishwasher safe.

Works well - very handy for extra veggies or 2 veggies at once. You can start stuff that takes longer on the bottom and add stuff to be lightly steamed on top.
