Review: First class food steamer! - This food steamer is in a class above the cheaper plastic steamer I had used before. It is much larger with a high capacity water basin that rapidly brings the water to the boil and generates copious amounts of steam. The food baskets are substantial and made of stainless steel - don't be fooled into thinking otherwise because they are non-magnetic, austenitic stainless steel is not. Its a robust cooking device and I have been very pleased with the results.
Review: Worth the higher p - I was hesitant to buy a steamer at such a high price, but I like to avoid plastics if I possibly can, and the majority of steamers are plastic. So I took the plunge. This steamer could not be any easier to use, set the temperature you need (it comes with a guide book) and then set the timer. All done! So far I have made really gorgeous yogurts in it and steamed veg for various meals...they definitely taste much better than boiling them, you get a tender but not soft texture (can’t bear soft mushy overcooked veg!) and retain lots more vitamins and minerals. So easy to wash as well. Love it...just waiting to see how it stands up to regular use now. One warning - the book it comes with has some ridiculous timings for your veg - for example it suggests steaming asparagus at 100 degrees for 30-45 minutes!!! Ignore this...just cook for as long as you would normally boil a vegetable for, and add a few extra minutes. If you cook asparagus for 30 minutes it will be horrible!! I steam it for 5-6 minutes max for thick stalks, and it is perfect.

## Features

- MULTIFUNCTIONAL: Whip up whole meals from starter to dessert with just one appliance, or simply reheat your food

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has this Steamer a pre set automatic timer so that food can be set to cook whilst we are out?**
A: No, but you can plug it into a timer plug to switch it on at the time you desire.  You need to set the cooking temperature at 40C, 60C, 80C or 100C first.  The default cooking time for 40C is 12min. and 20min. for the rest when it is switched on.   If you wish to decrease or increase the cooking time, you have to adjust it manually.

**Q: what kind of material is the black base of this steamer?**
A: Hi, the base is black plastic but it has a stainless steel lining to hold the water so the water boils on the stainless steel part, not the plastic. Hope this helps!

**Q: Does anyone know what type of stainless steel is this? Is it 314L or 306?**
A: I do not know but it is very good quality. We are so pleased with it, we bought another for our son.

**Q: Do the bases in the baskets pop out?**
A: Only one of the baskets is loose, the other one is fixed
