Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Handy Gourmet 2 Tier Microwave Steamer
Customer Review: A lot more hassle than just using a pan on the stove...
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading the positive reviews I bought this. I've only used it twice but several negatives are now apparent compared to simply using a pan with 1/2 inch of water on the bottom:
- a lot more work to wash & dry (4 large parts) vs. 1 small pan & lid
- you can't taste test the food during cooking like with a pan. With the steamer you have to remove it from the microwave to taste (more work than it sounds like), and then the steam/boiling has died down by the time you restart it.
- included list of cooking times is far from complete so there would clearly be lots of trial & error involved. For example the first time I used it I cooked cauliflower on one level & carrots on another. The carrots of course cooked much faster, but since there's no easy way to reach in & taste you won't check this steamer more than maybe once. With two levels full it's even more trouble to taste test and you loose even more steam/heat so it will take even longer to restart again.
The only positives to me are:
-no water to drain off of cooked food
-ability to cook two different veggies at once (but different cooking times do present a major problem.
