Hamilton Beach Digital Electric Food Steamer & Rice Cooker for Quick, Healthy Cooking for Vegetables and Seafood, Stackable Two-Tier Bowls, 5.5 Quart, Black & Stainless Steel

Shipping was fast with no breaks or cracks. I received it yesterday, washed it all up and used it for the first time last night. So easy to use. I absolutely love it!!!! Okay, the plastic bowls are not real sturdy, so I wouldn't let a child mess with them or give them any rough treatment, but as long as you are careful with them, they should last a long time. I put fresh salmon on the bottom, mixed frozen veggies in the middle one and frozen asparagus in the top one for about 25 minutes. It all turned out perfect and no leaking. Can't wait to try some little new potatoes tonight and fresh broccoli. Says it will make hard boiled eggs also for deviled eggs. I'll be trying that next. I am very happy with my purchase.

Works great! Quality pieces! The bottoms to the trays are a little finicky to put in and take out, but I believe I will get used to it. Heats up pretty quick, steaming within 5-6 minutes. Didn't feel like anything was questionably built or anything -- quality build. The water meter with its red light could be a little easier to read... If it's near the MAX line, it will look full. But that may be an impractical solution.

This product is simply amazing! Easy to use and set the timer! I love the results of my streamed veggies especially the broccoli if seasoned just right the taste will leave you eating the entire dish.

I have purchased 2 of these steamers. I have really liked them because they are easy to use and consistent every time. Most things (potatoes, rice, eggs, etc) generally only take about 20 minutes and cooks perfectly. The digital screen is nice and the fact I can refill the water without removing the trays is good.However, I wish the quality of the plastic was better. I use it pretty frequently but with both I’ve had, the sides of the clear trays crack and the lid handles always break. My son had to 3D print me a new one (in purple) because the original one cracked and broke. There are also a lot of cracks underneath where the handle is. The clear trays are labeled “1” and “2”. If you use “2” for the bottom tray, it will leak water onto the counter because it’s slightly larger than “1”. So now that my “1” tray is cracked it’s virtually unusable unless I want to keep cleaning up water afterward. So overall good steamer but does have some issues.

I steam all my veggies in this item. Worth the money. It's still going strong 5 years later. I use very often. About 3 times a week. Easy to use and steams my veggies to perfection.

Bought this to replace my Oster steamer, which still works after 15 years, but the lid handle is broken. I knew it would be hard to replace, but I had an open mind about trying this Hamilton Beach steamer. First issue (can’t believe no else mentioned this): the timer only goes as high as 1 hour. Rice takes longer than 1 hour! How can Hamilton Beach write instructions specifying 67-70 minutes for rice when the timer can only be set to 1 hour?! I had to set another timer and come back to add time to the steamer. Second issue: water dripped out continuously from the bottom of the steamer basket all over the kitchen counter - luckily I noticed and put a towel around it so it didn’t end up on my wood floor. As a result, the water basin ran low and the steamer turned off. After I added more water it did resume steaming and the rice turned out fine. I’m returning it.

Worked great for 2 years, then it started taking 8-10 to build up steam to cook our veggies, throws off the cooking time you set.

very good!!! My wife and I are really enjoying the capacity of this steamer! We use for red potatoes, core on the cob, Spinach leaves, even Okra, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans, Cauliflower, and Asparagus, so far!A multitude of foods this steamer can be used for! This review says nothing about the health benefits of cooking with steam!
