Sistema Microwave Steamer with Removable Steamer Basket | 2.4 L | BPA-Free | Red/Clear

Very easy to use and clean , great products have a few from range , this one is a very good capacity for family or if love veggies . I use frozen sweetcorn/peas and then layer with fresh broccoli and mangetout , normally takes about five minutes , broccoli takes the longest so may want to give broccoli longer depending how soft u like it . That amount will give u a whole plate of veg . Other veg is ok to steam also play around with it to suit your tastes and quantities . It has a steam vent on top which must be open when using in microwave , nice sturdy base and clip and lock tabs for when in use , be careful lifting out after using as it will have boiling in water in bottom , need to check every few minutes as the water level goes down . Fill the bottom with cold water through the inner basket and then can see how much water is in there add veg and go beat results try and make carrot etc similar sizes so cooks evenly . Mine started to smell a bit of broccoli as I was always cooking that in it but better than half hour of it steaming or boiling on hob . Also freed up cooker space for other items . I wash and dry thoroughly before putting back together and stores neatly in my microwave when I’m not using . I have never steamed fish in it but would like to as I have a second idea likley just keep one for fish only . Prefer this to the electric steamer that I had as if I decide I need to use the outer tub for sausage rolls for a picnic I could just take out basket so versatile for other things if wanted to .

These containers are really good I use them for pasta and fish and loads of other veggies I put water in bottom of container not a lot needed then the cabbage and microwave for 5 mins and it’s done so quick so easy would be lost without them really pleased

Very good steamers that I find essential for microwave cooking. Ideal for cooking most vegetables or part cooking roast potatoes or chips. Long lasting also, have used the same products for years.

Very good steamer. Works well.

I have had one of this type before and it works very well for steaming all my veg on one go, easy to clean too, it tell you how to use it but doesn't give any guidance on steaming times, I know what to do from experience, but it's not difficult to judge timing.

I've had one of these in the past which I bought from a supermarket but they don't sell them anymore. I've had it for years (quite possibly 5+) and over that time I lost the clear plastic insert and the little button at the top came off and went missing. (I've moved house multiple times with this so those parts could be absolutely anywhere.) The old one is still useable, I just pop the veg in the water and basically boil it in the microwave. But I decided it's probably time to get a new one. It's pretty easy to clean (the plastic clear bit that you put the veg in is irritating to clean though if I'm being honest. Broccoli bits can get caught between the gaps). Looks, it's fine. It just looks like a tupperware box. It isn't going to look incredible but it does the job. Honestly, I love this veg steamer it's so much easier to use than the tower steamer, easier to clean than one too and takes up less room. The only plus for the tower steamers is they can cook more veg at once but if you're cooking for one or maybe two people you'll be fine.

These boxes last for years and are super efficient for microwave use best way to cook vegetables.

On one hand I feel I should praise the effort, because availability of BPA free containers is so limited and this one has very good design and features, and as such, this container is a must have in every kitchen (I honestly believe at some point in near future we will be looking back at BPA and phthalates in and around food the same way we think of lead and mercury now). It has epic steam tray, it doesn't stain, without a steam tray it makes for a nice, deep container to repackage your ready meals into and despite its big size it's designed to fit perfectly on a turn table of a standard 17 litre + microwave. On the other hand it's a bit of a fail for use with any food that needs 10+ minutes cooking time. Because of the hard plastics used, this container heats like crazy. Way more than any container I have ever had. I'd even say it could be dangerous to use by kids. It gets hot. And I mean HOT. If you take the typical floppy, thin, food tray that usually comes with supermarket ready meals as a benchmark, at least after 10 minutes + 1 minute standby you can safely lift those trays up and remove them from microwave by the corners without burning your fingers. The Sistema container after 10 minutes reaches such extreme temperatures that it's impossible to hold it by any part of the container. The see through top has four handles on the corners and is fastened to the container with four clips, but the lid becomes very soft in high temperatures despite top vent and it bends easily. And as you hold the container with roughly 5 pounds of boiling food or liquid inside by two corners of the softened lid it often lets the scorching air/steam out of the corners thus burning your fingers even further. Forget about "cool to touch stem" and marketing blurb, know its shortcomings, never ever, ever, and I mean ever, try to lift it with just two out of four clips fastened (they will fail), don't let kids use it without oven mitts and it will be perfect. You will love it. You will have to. It's not like there is a lot of choice of BPA free kitchenware anyway.

good quality

Mejor calentador que cocedor.

Produto muito bom. Bem acabado, grande e de fácil limpeza. Os fechos são exagerados e as vezes um pouco duros de fechar, mas não é um problema que incomode.

Grönsakerna blir betydligt godare jämfört med kastrull. Alltid samma resultat. Använder den varje dag och äter därför mycket mer grönsaker än tidigare.
