Sistema Microwave Rice Cooker & Round Microwave Food Container Set | 2.6L, 915ml | Food Containers with Steam-Release Vents | BPA-Free | 2 Count

This is a great product. Being able to steam things in the microwave has been a game changer for me. I steam potatoes all the time. The capacity is good—I have steamed four Yukon Gold potatoes at once, and it can probably hold almost twice that amount. It’s quicker and easier than steaming food in a pot on the stove and is easier to clean. It works great except it can be a little tricky to snap it shut. The trick is to push down on the red flap as you snap it closed. It feels reasonably well made (it is plastic) and I hope it is durable. I’m concerned about the locking flaps breaking off eventually but I’ve been using it for a few weeks now with no problems. Even so, I think it would work fine without the locking flaps. I’m very pleased with my purchase.

Wonderful easy to clean. Little bowl is it extra bonus? Really good for storage. Made of quality and rice tastes great. Definitely would recommend this product.

These are nice containers for lunches or fridge storage...whatever! Vented top so no overdressed when heating in the micro. Good quality plastic. No issues.

This set cooks rice well, and the extra container is useful. It's also easy to clean. The only problem is that it makes the inside of my microwave very steamy and wet, so I have to wipe it down often. Still, it's a great product. I've found it to be a real time-saver on busy nights and it's much more convenient than using a pot on the stove. Despite the minor cleaning issue, I'd still recommend it for anyone who wants an easy way to cook.

This set is incredibly convenient and easy to use. The microwave rice cooker makes fluffy rice with very little effort—just add rice, water, and microwave. It cooks evenly and much faster than a traditional pot. The lids with steam-release vents work well and help prevent spills.The additional round food container is great for reheating leftovers or storing meals. Both pieces are BPA-free, sturdy, and easy to clean. The handles stay cool enough to remove from the microwave without needing extra tools. Overall, this is a super practical set for quick meals, meal prep, and everyday cooking.

Wow! This makes it super simple to steam any veggie in the microwave in just a few moments. Works great and it's easy to clean (basically rinse it out).

I got the Systema Microwave Steamer a few months ago and I absolutely love it! It has a good capacity for me and would likely have a great capacity for most people/families (I'm vegan so I eat a ton of veggies). I use it nearly every day at least twice and it cooks like a dream! The only time it's ever not large enough for me is when I'm doing food prep for a few days, other than that it's a perfect size. As for the reviews that say they can't get the lid to snap down on the sides, whenever I have an issue where I can't get it to snap I just spin it a 1/4 turn and it will snap. I have never had it not snap at all. I think that the steamer is not perfectly square (even though it looks square) and the lid just needs to be turned when you can't get it to snap. ***This may not work for everyone, as your steamer may need you to figure out exactly which lid side matches up to which base side or yours just may not fit right at all. I am only basing this on my experience with my steamer and I hope it helps others.*** I also recommend being careful with the steamer when you remove it from the microwave because the steamer itself will be hot and the steam will be hot either from the steam release on the lid or from removal of the the lid. Use hot pads, oven mitts, or a towel of some kind and stay safe. I say this merely because a lot of people don't have experience with steaming food and may not be aware of how hot steam can be, especially if they don't cook a lot or have been in the kitchen helping someone else cook. If you are in the market for a steamer, this is a very good choice and, if you choose to buy it, I hope you will be as happy with it as I am :)

It does the basic job. It will steam vegetables, although unevenly (as the manual recognizes), because the center receives less steam. The construction is very awkward. The hinges are difficult to close, there are no carrying handles, and worst of all, the central stem is difficult to grab. The stem tapers off and has nothing to grab at the top to stop your fingers from sliding off. And slide off they will, because this is a steamer, and steam makes things moist and slippery (surprise!).
