Less than ideal Feb 07, 2012
By C. Zona It's got some problems, unfortunately.
POOR FIT
It has to be squished awkwardly into my standard 8" saucepan, with edges/bottom rippling, legs slightly bowed, and the handles pushing the lid off the rim a bit. The result is uneven cooking, and (because steam rapidly escapes) scorching the pan bottom.
ODOR ABSORPTION
Scorched broccoli water smell has permanently absorbed into the material, after extremely minimal usage. It's still stinky after 3 days of airing. Soaking it overnight in vingar, ammonia, and bleach (each, separately! mixing ammonia and bleach can be lethal!) has had no effect. Since silicone doesn't normally absorb odors, it has me wondering whether the factory substituted inferior material.
SMALL HOLES
About 3 out of 4 holes are slightly bit bigger than my wire strainer's. A pain to get food particles out of there. It seems unnecessary, since I've never had a problem with veggies falling through the larger holes that are standard in the metal steamers.
Two stars because this thing does steam food, after all. So it serves its purpose in life. But this is going away, to be replaced by something else. Too bad. On paper, this was a really good idea. The carry/lift handle, and the lack of obstructing center post, would have been particularly useful. Oh well.

Doesn't scratch the bottom, doesn't get hot, flexible Mar 28, 2011
By Keemia I didn't expect to like this product, but I use it all the time. It definitely beats using a metal one. It doesn't rust, doesn't get hot, doesn't scratch the bottom, and fits all my medium to smaller pots.

Great Item Jul 18, 2011

I previously used the metal steamer but had to make sure it was dry before I put it away and when pulling it out of the pot after steaming it was HOT!!!! This silicone steamer fits in a couple different sized pots. And it is not HOT when you put it out of the pot. Washes up quickly. LOVE IT!!!!

A good steamer basket, but not invinceable Jan 21, 2012
By Amanda B. As others have noted, this steamer is nice because it doesn't rust and doesn't get searingly hot. I'll just add that it's not as durable as I expected it would be: I've had mine for about a year now, and one of the handles has started to crack. I'm not sure why; there was no acute trauma to the handle as far as I know, and it appears that it just sort of got old and started to dry and crack. I don't know how long it will be before the handle breaks off entirely, but it will be a much less awesome steamer basket without the handle.

It works Sep 14, 2011
By Ramon Pertierra It does what it needs to do. It would be nice if there were different sizes for different sized pots.
