Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Large No Post Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer
Customer Review: It is what it is.
Summary: 5 Stars
Much heavier gauge metal & sturdier than any locally available options. Straightforward design, with no gadgets or gimmicks. One inch feet could be a bit taller (no problem, just use three stainless 1/8 inch bolts & hex nuts through existing holes). Also, 2 or 3 can be stacked using a 3/16" threaded center rod with nuts and washers --handy for big jobs. Should last a good long time with decent care. Cleaning is naturally more involved, just because of all the nooks & crannies, but using a soft bristle shower brush gets into most of those hard-to-reach spots. Overall, currently the best deal out there for quality/price.
Description of Norpro Large No Post Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer
The three pronged base provides stability equal to those with center posts, so instead of one central handle there are two ring style side handles. The side handles supports the basket's shape, rather than allowing it to open flat upon lifting. Capacity for more to steam. Segments fold inward for compact storageIt's less what it includes than what it lacks that makes this Norpro vegetable steamer a cut above your average steamer insert. Without a bothersome center post, there is plenty of unobstructed room to steam entire heads of broccoli or cauliflower or full-length cobs of corn--and finished vegetables are easier to remove with a spoon or a spatula as denser veggies keep steaming. No need to slice carrots or pole beans beforehand--just plop them whole into the basket, which expands from 7 to 10 inches, depending on the size of the pot you set it in.
The three-pronged base provides stability equal to models with center posts, but instead of one central handle there are two ring-style side handles. This is another improvement, as you don't need to reach into the middle of the steaming-hot food to remove the basket, and using the side handles supports the basket's shape rather than allowing its "petals" to pop open flat upon lifting. The heavy-duty waffled segments hold tightly together during use and fold inward for compact storage. --Carol Gnojewski
