it was safe!

I put it in a deep pot with about an inch of water in the bottom. I have never used a steamer before, so I was naturally worried that it may come to life and try to kill me. I placed my veggies on the grate, put on the lid, and prayed to god in heaven that the strainer wouldn't leap out of the boiling water seeking vengeance for piling raw vegetables on it. After 20 min I took a few deep breathes and opened the lid with one hand and aimed a shot gun with the other, the steam billowed to reveal beautifully cooked veggies! I was so happy I dropped the shot gun, it went off and killed the family dog. My wife never found it in her heart to forgive me. She took the kids and moved back in with her parents. They all hate me now, and I spend every night in this empty house drinking alone and... But the veggies were perfect. I highly recommend this product!

Exactly as described. Works great for steaming and adjusts to the size of the pot you use as long as it isn't too large. It appears to be pretty fragile but no problems to date. I just fold it up to its smallest size for storage, has little feet to keep it off the bottom of a pan that clip in, I just leave them on because I think they would be too easy to misplace. All in all I like it especially for the cost.

Love My Steamer

I love it! Steamed veggies taste great, fill the air with flavor, are easier to digest, which is an issue as your metabolism slows down, and don’t have the waxy mouth-feel of microwaved frozen food (which we’ve been eating the last 40 years or so).

Good basket but the cheaper one may be better

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016

We have steamer baskets at home that we use for most meals (in a large frying pan with it fully open is a great way to do corn-on-the-cob). We are furnishing our summer home and brought our old Revere ware to use here (It's belonged to my wife's parents). We bought a steamer basket from a brick and mortar store that sells stuff for your bed, and bath and even more :). Unfortunately the basket was too big to fit any of our pots so I bought two items from Amazon. This item and Norpro 175 Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer . This one was the more expensive. It has three legs and a handle to pull the steamer out of the vessel. All of them are inserted by the user when assembling the basket. It has been my experience that these will become loose and have a tendency to fall out (although the other baskets we have at home with this scheme have lasted decades but it's still a problem. The basket sits very high above the water, more than one inch. It works just the way you'd expect. But if I had it to do over, I'd probably just buy the other unit.

I love the design! Such a little thing, such a big difference.

Bless you Delightful Chef! I've always hated that middle thing that pokes up in the middle of the basket. You gave me a choice to have it or not have it with the simple installation of brilliant designed inserts for legs and that "always in the way" safety feature in the center of the basket. I wish the government gave me a choice to take care of my own safety! Thanks for the great design. I feel like an adult who can cook as I please now!

Buy a better steamer!

This steamer started to fall apart immediately. I am VERY familiar with this type of steamer since I have used it forever and love the design. My old one was starting to loose one of the folding pieces so I wanted to replace it. When the new one arrived I tossed out the old even though this new one is annoying to put together I had hoped it would be OK. One of the pieces started to fall off immediately!
Even though this item is cheap don't waste your money.
I bought a new one from a store whose initials are PB. More money, but fabulous!

Not worth it

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

It works, but not well. It is very thin so if the basket isn't full or the weight isn't equally distributed inside of it then it tips over inside your kettle and your steamed veggies become soaked and more like boiled veggies. The legs fall off so easily. Also, the legs are so tall you end up using a stock pot to steam enough veggies for 2 people. Growing up my mom had one of these and we used it almost daily, it must have been much higher quality than this one because I want to throw this away. I would not recommended buying this.

Simple and works great.

Having never bought a steamer basket previously, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect upon receiving this one. I used my basket almost immediately to steam tamales actually (which was the main reason for purchasing it), and worked wonderfully. It steamed a small batch beautifully. It was really simple to assemble and clean afterwords. I would recommend this item!
