Impressed
We had out-grown our old steamer and were looking for a larger one for our family. This more than exceeded my expectations. It is large. A single level is almost as big as the old steamer. I thought I would have to use all three to exceed my previous capacity. Another plus is the shape. The circular design of some steamers is limiting. Putting in fillets or things like asparagus is easier to arrange now. I think the asparagus actually turns out better since it's in the center of the dish and not around the edges conforming to the shape of a circular container. Also, the oblong shape allows more efficient use of space to arrange items like fillets, thus more fits. There is also more surface area on the bottom. While the volume of some steamers may be large, a lot of this volume is consumed vertically. The design of this tray has more surface area along the bottom and is not as deep compared to other steamer trays boasting the same capacity.
Steamed foods turn out...
short life
I happen to be the former owner of many steamers. Like all the previous this one had a short life. Had it in my wish list and received it as a gift. It easily was the best steamer I have owned besides a bamboo style (due to its longer life). Under frequent use, which includes three or four different dishes moisture builds up and gets behind the display. Shorts out the unit and puts it in an unrepairable state.
Doesn't Last
Worked well when it worked. Didn't have any problems with moisture in the display. Clean up is semi-easy. But the machine just doesn't last. It quit boiling water the other day - what a waste!
