Secura 2 Stainless Steel Food Steamer 8.5 Qt Electric Glass Lid Vegetable Steamer Double Tiered Stackable Baskets with Timer

I had an old plastic steamer, and it was junk. We used it so much it cracked. Who knows how many plastic we ingested over the years. The goal was no plastic this time around. This unit is stainless steel all around except a glass lid. Perfect to limit plastics. This is a big unit. You can easily steam enough for a full, large meal. The double decker was something new for me. Keep in mind whatever is on top will drip on the bottom level. See the pictures for some context. You could steam several ears of corn. You can do a search for the correct length of steaming for whatever you’re making. The box contained a box to give some ideas. The unit is sturdy- well worth the money. It’s easy to clean. After a couple of uses, I do see some calcification on the heating portion. Clean that after each use, or you’re going to get buildup. Keep in mind what you’re buying - this isn’t a microwave. You aren’t going to steam veggies in a minute. This takes a minute to heat up the water in the base and get going. But once it gets going, you’ll see steam coming out the hole in the top. In all, wish I had bought this sooner. It’s been well worth the money. I got nothing for this review. Hope it was helpful!

Very nice and it works very well. The bottom that holds the water is stainless steel. That is what I was looking for. We have been using plastic ones for years. Easy to use.

Been using this off/on for over a year and it's performed perfectly. Easy to use and clean-up. Flawless operation. Great value and an excellent replacement for our other steamer.

I really like this steamer. Ones I've had in the past have had plastic bowls that just didn’t last. The stainless steel looks like it will last. We’ve used it only a few times. Seems to steam well. There are two things I’d change. The holes in the bowls are a tad big. Corn kernels fall through easily. I imagine the same will happen with peas. The other thing is that when the time is up, the pot just shuts off. I prefer that there would be a ring at the end of cooking time.

I traded my well-used plastic steamer because I wanted to get away from plastic. I would have preferred a three tier stainless steamer but could not find one. I like this two-tier model a lot. I steam salmon in the bottom and vegetables in the top. Easy to clean in the dishwasher. Cooks food well and does not leak. A winner.

Purchased this product for my guy. He uses it all the time works very well, a big time saver really good value for the money saves time on cooking. And has made it more convenient for steaming vegetables which encourages him to eat more and stay healthy.

Let me start with the good parts. The product steams well and is easy to use. Now the bad. Before I purchased this product, I read reviews of this one and the digital version of the same product. I saw several reviews about poorly made handles etc. But I opted to give the product a try. I used it three times in the 19 days I had the product. It steamed well. But the handle broke on the third use. The plastic top handle of the pot lit literally broke apart when removing the lid. No, the screw did not break. The plastic simply broke. You can see from the pictures. The first picture is the top of the cover that broke. The second picture is the same part flipped over. You can see the serrations where the plastic broke. The third picture is the part from which the lid broke apart. The fourth pic is a close up of the third. Again, the steamer works well. The plastic material lid parts are poorly constructed. If you don't care about the lids and handles breaking, I would recommend you getting. But if having properly working lids and handles are important to you - then "Caveat Emptor"

We steam a lot of veggies in our house. We've been through 2 plastic steamers in the past 5 years or so. We almost always hand wash them but they just get brittle over time. We were going to try to find on Black Friday but it was almost impossible to find steamers. Apparently steaming your veggies isn't cool anymore. Looks like all the kids are air frying everything but whatever... :) This thing works great. I love that it's stainless steel with a glass lid. I haven't had any issues with bottom heating area rusting. It is discoloring a bit due to being heated but I'm not surprised by that. Yes the holes are big in the pans. If you do anything around pea size you'll lose it through the holes. You'll have to steam those items in another container. Inconvenient but not the end of the world. It does take longer to steam things in this steamer compared to our other ones. About 20 minutes for most veggies compared to 12-15. Don't fill it too much unless you're steaming for a long time. Not enough water will run it dry. Too much and it will take an hour to steam those green beans. I like that the cord can be removed. I wrestled with the built in cord on our last steamer. It always seemed to flop out of the cupboard...mocking me. This one gets pulled and tossed in one of the pans. This makes for easier storage. Overall we're very pleased. Hopefully it lasts a long time.

Excellent steamer, fast, safe on hands, compact for storage

Es útil, esta tal cual la imagen, lo que no me gustó es que al terminar el ruido que hace no se escucha, me hubiera gustado que avisará con una música o algún otro sonido que ayudara a identificar al terminar. De allí todo muy bien. espero me dure.

Sent with American plug, can’t seem to get them to send an English one. Total nightmare this is for a 90 year old. Will be sending back

I purchased this item for my elderly parents. It was ordered in the UK for use in the UK. It duly arrived however the plug is not compatible with a 3 pin UK plug socket. £25 later it now has the correct plug!!

Just got it a couple weeks ago. It is all stainless steel. No plastic. Which is hard to find. Works great. Looks nice. Feels solids and sturdy. Reasonable price. Love it.
