Is the insert silicone as well? In the pictures it appears to be hard plastic.

It is soft, as well. All three parts are. It works great and is super easy to clean. I used to have hard plastic steamer and it was horrible to get clean. Do not worry, it is stiff enough to support water and food, when you take out it of microwave.

I'm 68 and have been steaming all my vegetables in plastic for over 30 years, my family and I perfectly healthy. When is bpa supposed to start killing us?

how much water in the base - instructions are poor?

We fill the base about half full, certainly not enough to reach the food that you are trying to steam or it will become soggy. The steamer works like a charm and is one of the most useful kitchen implements that I've ever purchased.

External measurements are 9" x 6.5" including handles and 3.5" high including lid handle. Insert measures 7" x 6" and 2" high including legs. Made of silicone it is very flexible and washes very easily.
