Sistema Heat & Eat Microwaveable Rice Cooker & Food Container Set with Steam Release Vents, Microwave Rice Cooker & Round Food Storage Container, Dishwasher & Freezer-Safe, BPA-Free

This is a great product. Being able to steam things in the microwave has been a game changer for me. I steam potatoes all the time. The capacity is good—I have steamed four Yukon Gold potatoes at once, and it can probably hold almost twice that amount. It’s quicker and easier than steaming food in a pot on the stove and is easier to clean. It works great except it can be a little tricky to snap it shut. The trick is to push down on the red flap as you snap it closed. It feels reasonably well made (it is plastic) and I hope it is durable. I’m concerned about the locking flaps breaking off eventually but I’ve been using it for a few weeks now with no problems. Even so, I think it would work fine without the locking flaps. I’m very pleased with my purchase.

These Sistema Microwave Food Storage Containers are great! We eat out a lot and the styrofoam to go boxes were always mounting up in our trash. So far I have ordered 3 sets because we don't always eat leftovers immediately so this works for us. They travel well and look nice when taking them out in restaurants, they store nicely in the refrigerator, and heat food up great in the microwave and clean up great in the dishwasher! Just remember to snap the steam release vent when traveling and open the steam release vent when microwaving. These containers are made in New Zealand where they are very conscience about the environment and food safety so I feel a bit safer using this microwave product after reviewing other similar containers. Price was great, too! Highly recommended!

I sold my Instant Pot because the only thing I ever used it for was rice, and it never made rice the way I wanted. After saving this Sistema Microwave Rice Cooker for a while, I finally bought it, and I’m so glad I did. This inexpensive little cooker makes better rice than my Instant Pot ever did. I made basmati rice and it turned out perfectly cooked, fluffy, and not mushy. Based on my experience, this cooker is ideal for one to two people. Overfilling it is likely what causes the spillover issues mentioned in some reviews. Here’s the method that worked great for me and I think will give you a good starting point: I rinsed 1/2 cup of basmati rice, added it to the cooker with 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon of water, a dash of salt, and a small amount of olive oil. I placed the lid on, making sure the steam vents were not aligned, microwaved for 7 minutes in a 900-watt microwave, let it rest for 5 minutes, then microwaved for another 3 minutes and let it sit again for 5 minutes. The result was perfect rice. Cleaning was a breeze. The product says it’s dishwasher safe on the top rack, but I hand washed it and it cleaned up very easily. The smaller container that comes with this set is also very useful. I stored my leftover rice in it in the fridge and reheated it later with great results. It seals well and works perfectly for storage, making it a nice bonus alongside the rice cooker, which is definitely the star of the set. Overall, this has been one of my best small kitchen purchases and I’m very happy with it.

They do work well, the lid over to time does not close well bit still works. They are very eell made

I got the Systema Microwave Steamer a few months ago and I absolutely love it! It has a good capacity for me and would likely have a great capacity for most people/families (I'm vegan so I eat a ton of veggies). I use it nearly every day at least twice and it cooks like a dream! The only time it's ever not large enough for me is when I'm doing food prep for a few days, other than that it's a perfect size. As for the reviews that say they can't get the lid to snap down on the sides, whenever I have an issue where I can't get it to snap I just spin it a 1/4 turn and it will snap. I have never had it not snap at all. I think that the steamer is not perfectly square (even though it looks square) and the lid just needs to be turned when you can't get it to snap. ***This may not work for everyone, as your steamer may need you to figure out exactly which lid side matches up to which base side or yours just may not fit right at all. I am only basing this on my experience with my steamer and I hope it helps others.*** I also recommend being careful with the steamer when you remove it from the microwave because the steamer itself will be hot and the steam will be hot either from the steam release on the lid or from removal of the the lid. Use hot pads, oven mitts, or a towel of some kind and stay safe. I say this merely because a lot of people don't have experience with steaming food and may not be aware of how hot steam can be, especially if they don't cook a lot or have been in the kitchen helping someone else cook. If you are in the market for a steamer, this is a very good choice and, if you choose to buy it, I hope you will be as happy with it as I am :)

Love my microwave pot use it to cook my rice , it works perfect for one cup , easy to use

I got the 4 pc. (2-17.7 oz and 2-42.2oz) set in red. The small ones nest inside the larger ones. I love Sistema and these new additions to my collection. It is a reputable brand and is long lasting. These sizes are perfect for leftovers, whether or not you need to microwave the contents. Perfect sizes for storing cut up fruits and/or vegetables. I highly recommend this set and this brand.

Love the concept and they work fairly well in practice but the locking lids are finicky, difficult to lock sometime. The biggest issue is they always feel greasy. No matter how much I wash them with whatever soap they feel greasy. Bleach helps!

Ótima qualidade

J'étais septique et en fait mon riz est super bien cuit. Le petit descriptif correspond assez à la cuisson à vérifier avec les watts de votre micro-onde. Le mien fait 800w et après cuisson je laisse 5 mins pour que ça finisse bien la cuisson.

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.

Smidig storlek med ett bra lock.

Tenía un microondas con plato de 20 L y al meter la vaporera no giraba y se atascaba en las paredes. Me he comprado un microondas de 23 L sin plato y entra perfectamente. La he utilizado solo una vez y en principio funciona perfectamente. La puse a una potencia de 800 W con brócoli congelado y ha salido buenísimo (mejor que hervido). Espero que con un uso más continuado, el material no se deforme y se cierre bien. Lo malo es que el recipiente no lleva instrucciones para ver los diferentes tiempos de cocción de los alimentos (tienes ir poniéndolo poco a poco).
