Best tool for weight loss, period!
By Guido764
I bought this after a fellow dorm student showed me how to use his steamer of another brand. I chose this one because of the design and the removable top shelf that allows you to cook larger items. I can get 2 chicken breast (boneless skinless) chicken breast for $3.00, a bag of baby carrots for $1.25 and a small bag of small red potatoes for $1.50.

I put the chicken in a bag or container and pour in my spices (I use Mrs. Dash because it’s salt free and so flavorful) and mix it up until the chicken is coated. I let the chicken sit sometimes to soak up the spices better (usually overnight) but spicing before steaming is still great. I will put one breast in the middle of the bottom tier, surround it with carrots. I put the other breast on the top tier, surround it with red potatoes cut into quarters (leaving them whole works, but i like them cut to add seasoning) and in 25 minutes me and another person are having an awesome healthy meal.

Steaming is more effective at retaining the vitamins in your fruits and vegetables. I am telling you straight up, if you want to lose weight, buy this steamer, and try my recipe above. its a salt free dish that has so much natural flavorful hearty goodness that will not leave you hungry trust me.ive lost 30 lbs since august 2010 (its almost Halloween 2010) and most of my dinners have been similar to the above recipe, no salt, no butter or margarine, just natural spices and foods cooked using a natural, nutrient retention process.

My Wife And I Are Completely Happy With This Steamer
By Tripp
This has by far been one of the best editions to our kitchen. My wife and I researched several of the different types of steamers on the market and decided on this one because other steamers seemed to have a problem with algae build up due to hard to reach water trays in the bottom. None of that exists with this steamer. In fact, the easy clean up is one of our favorite features. The other favorite feature is the delayed start time. We have used it several times when the kids had a sports game, and set the steamer to come on two hours later so that the food would be ready and hot when we got home. I really don’t have anything negative, except that it doesn’t come with any type of ideas for meals or recipes. One product that really has taken our steaming to another level is Cooking With Steam: Spectacular Full-Flavored Low-Fat Dishes from Your Electric Steamer. This steamer is for anyone who wants to eat healthy food and keep from gaining unwanted pounds.

Wow! The PERFECT steamer!
By Shay
It heats up almost instantly. Timer works great. And I love how it keeps food WARM after steaming in case your timing with other courses isn’t perfect. This prevents the biggest draw back to steaming… how quickly it cools. The perfect size for my shelf but large enough for big portions. Easy to clean. Yup, so glad I really looked around until I found this gem! Haven’t tried the rice.
