5.0 out of 5 stars Costly - But Worth It, February 24, 2007

By	anonymous - See all my reviews

Having purchased (and thoroughly used!) several steamers previously I knew what I wanted and what I did not want. The Emerilware offered metal steaming bowls and a quick, constant steam feature. I found the metal preferable to the common plastic steamer trays since metal is easier to keep clean & doesn't crack and break like the plastic trays do. The unit has a larger "footprint" than other units but I had no problem adapting to it. I found the operating instructions easy & food quality is consistently good. I would recommend this unit to anyone who intends on using a steamer on a regular basis. It holds up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Healthy, Easy, Tasty, Wonderful Steamer, October 11, 2007

By	jschliss (Highland Park, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

I absolutely LOVE this steamer!
You fill the bottom section with water. Place on the drip tray, place on the plastic container and either place your food directly into the plastic container or fill one or both of the metal baskets. Cover, set the timer, and your done!

We love the steamed chicken it makes. My husband who would never touch white meat loves it made in the steamer. My picky, Aspergers, almost 13 year old boy, is devouring the chicken, and I am sticking to my diet! Cut the chicken into strips, place in steamer, set timer for 15 - 30 minutes (depending on the amount of chicken) and you are done!

And then the best of all....it ALL goes in the dishwasher!

The broccoli was the best steamed broccoli I ever tasted. The cauliflower (the only vegetable my son will touch) was incredible. The zucchini's and yellow squash tasted like a treat!

I cannot say enough good about my new toy!

My son just wants to know if he can call it Mom's cooking or did Emeril make it?

5.0 out of 5 stars Steamy Meals in a Ziff, June 4, 2008

By	Anna M. Haas "Steaming Girl" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I seldom cook in any manner except for steaming and have gone through many steamers over the years. This is by far the best and easiest steamer to use yet.
I really enjoy the ability to steam up to three different items at a time and the burst feature that allows for success when the lid needs to be lifted to add items. I have never had the rice fail to cook properly when doing this and anyone who is familiar with rice cooking knows that lifting the lid during cooking can ruin the rice. Not with this unit though and that makes this steamer a very big plus in my book and wish I had used this much sooner.
I have given away the other two steamers that I was using and only use this one now and now longer have to use multiple steamers cluttering my countertops any more.
