PrepSolutions Steamer for Fish and Veggies, Gray - Durable Kitchen Steaming Basket for Healthy Cooking

I love it. It's perfect for a college student. I put baby carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, snap peas, onions, spinach, and sliced mushrooms in it from my college's cafeteria salad bar. My favorite are the sliced mushrooms with spinach and onions, though the steamer now smells like onions. The mushrooms are juicy and full of flavor. I put my tray of my mixed vegetables in for two and a half minutes, which is perfect for the sliced mushrooms and snap peas, but you might want to go a little longer for the other vegitables I listed. If you're able, you might want to soak your vegitables for thirty minutes ahead of time so they don't dry out. If you have small baby carrots, they may dry out faster since there's less water in them. The solution is simple, just soak them in water 30 minutes ahead of time and cut them in half so they cook faster and don't have to be cooked as long. The tray is bigger than I expected, which is good since you can add more vegitables. Even though it's bigger than I expected, it still fits in the microwave and is able to turn in the turn table. It only takes 2 tablespoons of water in the bottom of the tray, which at first I thought wouldn't be enough, but it is and there's even water left over at the end in the bottom. The lid isn't designed to click shut, but that's because it just rests on the tray, and along with there being an adjustable vent on top of the lid, it helps some of the steam to be released. I would 100% recommend this product. I love how simple it is, how it retains the nutrients in the vegitables, and how it's BPA free. Great gift for college students or busy mom's.

Great for steaming just about anything! I've used it to steam fish, dumplings and vegetables. All came out great. Made well and very easy to use.

I bought this, because I have been cooking corn in the microwave by getting it wet and wrapping it in waxed paper. I was very attracted to this so I could stop wasting so much waxed paper! Smaller ears of corn work, but anything of size is just too big for the top to fit down onto the bottom. I have also tried steaming asparagus, and that was really easy to. It comes with a little recipe card to help you time things more accurately the first time; I appreciate that. I'd recommend this - just be aware that if your main goal is to cook corn, this might fall short in depth (hence the reason for 4 stars).

Happy with the purchase although the container that holds the veggies etc. is quite small. Great for a smaller family, but would not accommodate a large crowd. The quality appears to be excellent. The steam can be controlled by a sliding latch on the top.

We have had an earlier model of the Progressive steamer. We have used it to almost finishing it off. We got this one because we did so much in it and needed a second one for many item meals. Fantastic for leftovers. Makes fish very well. Spray with some olive oil and apply Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper or the Chicken Grill for quick and tasty fish. Since I am on a low sodium lifestyle leftovers made right the first time are ready for a quick lunch. Again spray with a little oil Research has shown that steaming is the second best way to preserve food nutrients. (Pressure-cooking is best.) All kinds of vegetables (for my "FODMAP" diet) are prepared without salt (heart healthy and add potassium chloride and/or Mrs. Dash seasonings after cooking to enhance flavors). All kinds of other foods become good leftovers with the steamer. Meats, rice, noodles, etc. I also thaw buns stored in the freezer when needed. May years ago I managed a summer swimming pool food service and we used steamers to keep our hotdog and hamburger buns fresh and ready. This steamer duplicates those steamers perfectly. It works for bread too. Just steam a few seconds or they get soggy. Steam for five seconds to thaw,, then open the buns open side down and turn over bread slices for about five seconds more. The supplied chart tells times for raw vegetables, but experiment at first to learn your microwave functioning. Follow the guide for making fish. Ren=member that thickness affects cooking time.

Nice large size. Good to use with water or dry.

Bought this for my husband who has high cholesterol and high blood pressure so sometimes can’t eat the main meal I cook. He has to eat more fish and chicken. I thought this would be a quick way to make him some healthy dishes without making too much dishes. I have a tfal steamer that I love but cleaning it takes more time than this.. so I thought. Quality looks decent, except after about 8-10 uses the lid no longer snaps on good I have to continuously shift the lid around to go on! Steaming wise depends what I make.... fish is a lot quicker. Chicken takes longer and sometimes doesn’t steam evenly, so I put it in more and it’ll dry in the center.... veggies steam quick and evenly! Cleaning the green tray can somewhat be a pain depending what you make. Scrubbing each individual holes making sure nothing gets left bevy is similar to my bigger T-fal steamer. So I might as well use my bigger steamer with levels Anyway in all this is ok, the lid tho is a big problem if I have to shift and push hard for it to snap close. I would say this is not a long term steamer.
