5.0 out of 5 stars Rocks!, September 27, 2006

By	L. Lormann - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Received this as an early release and I am thrilled with it's suberp quality and design.

The three compartments will cook the food seperately (one or two at a time) or all together. If you cook them together, the timers will count down backwards so that all of your food is finished at the same time.

Cooks rice and cornbread REALLY well and I can't stop eating the parsley red potatoes it steams.

Cleanup is easy - dishwasher safe and the all-plastic parts wipe down really well. With the steam cooking, nothing ever bakes or fried onto the plastic!

The design is very clever and the pieces are very well-made. They all fit together nicely, even after 2 months of use.

Wish the included bowl was larger and had a tupper-type resealable lid, but these are my only complaints so far.

The food is delicious and the portions are easy to control for my family of 2 or when we have company over.

As always, be careful of the steam when opening the compartments and I don't recommend placing it under a cabinet due to possible damage from the steam while cooking.

Steamer is also VERY LARGE. It is almost 2 feet wide by 1 foot deep. It will cook a LOT of food, but may not be suited for motorhomes that have very limited space. On the other hand, it would replace a stove and oven in a small kitchen area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Steamer on the Market, December 3, 2006

By	Sam - See all my reviews

Reviewer: Sam - See all my reviews
Steam Heat has so many features that can't be found on a standard vertical steamer. The best feature is that I can program different times for differnet types of food so that each is steamed to perfection and they are all ready at the same time. The steamer switches to keep warm mode for 60 minutes after the food has finished steaming so that is really cool too.
Another plus, because of the horizontal design, the flavors stay in their own bowl and don't mix with the other foods being steamed.
I made a deliciously decadent chocolate cake in the steamer too. Yes, you can make desserts in the Steam Heat as well as healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners and appetizers too. If you thought steaming was just for fish and veggies, think again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steamer Perfection, January 29, 2007

By	Queen Bee "Queen Bee" (FL) - See all my reviews

This steamer is fabulous and works like a charm
I have tried about every gadget and this one works like it says and clean-up really is a snap in the dishwasher.
I like the fact that it has 3 timers but no matter what they are all done at the same time so dinner is served at the same time. It also will keep the food warm on a warm cycle.
The rice and veggies and fish all come out perfect everytime.
It encourages you to steam and eat lots of fresh veggies by being so easy to use and clean.
You will love it if you get it!
