Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nordic Ware Microwave Vegetable and Seafood Steamer 11 Inch by 8.6 Inch
Customer Review: Not very impressed with this steamer
Summary: 3 Stars
I try to do things with as little effort as possible, so I got tired of cleaning small food particles from the folding, metal steamers that are made for use in a pan on the stove top. I steam small frozen vegetables (corn, peas, carrot cubes, etc.) quite often. I started looking for a way to steam frozen vegetables with easier clean-up, and came to believe that the available microwave steamers would be a better way to go. (I have found that microwave steaming also leads to better flavors than stove-top steaming.)
Recently I bought both the Nordic Ware microwave steamer (Nordic Ware Microwave Vegetable and Seafood Steamer 11 Inch by 8.6 Inch) and the Progressive International microwave steamer (Progressive International Microwavable Fish & Veggie Steamer). I've used the Progressive steamer maybe 5 times, and I've been quite happy with it: it is easy to steam small vegetables and clean-up is easy. It could be a little sturdier, but it is OK. Tonight, I used the Nordic Ware steamer for the first time, and I found steaming small vegetables to be more difficult, primarily because there is no lip around the edges of the steaming tray, which allows small vegetables to easily spill off of the tray. They spill off of the tray as I'm loading it with vegetables, and spill-off of the tray as I'm transferring the vegetables from the tray to a serving dish. Clean-up is still pretty easy, though not quite as easy as with the Progressive steamer.
The base of the Nordic Ware steamer seems a little sturdier than that of the Progressive Steamer, but the Nordic Ware's lid is somewhat flimsy. I suspect that the Progressive steamer will last longer than the Nordic Ware steamer. (I hand wash my vegetable steamers; both steamers may be OK for use in the top rack of a dishwasher.)
For steaming large vegetables and/or fish, which I don't do, the Nordic Ware steamer might be better because steam might circulate better around the edges of the tray when a bunch of the holes are covered, although I have little certainty about this.
Description of Nordic Ware Microwave Vegetable and Seafood Steamer 11 Inch by 8.6 Inch
The Vegetable/ Seafood Steamer has a lid with a steam release vent. The removable trivet raises food for steaming vegetables. Gemstone is more efficient in transmitting microwave energy to the food than most glass or ceramic ware. This means even cooking and baking, less stirring and rotating and fewer hot and cold spots. This durable and chip proof pan will never melt or warp and is designed for freezer to oven to table to dishwasher use. This Vegetable/ Seafood Steamer is a versatile addition to any kitchen. Proudly made in the USA by Nordic Ware.Steamers
