Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Pop-Up Steamer
Customer Review: An Ideal Metal Vegetable Steamer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been steaming vegetables for many years. Steaming seems to leach less of the essence of delicate vegetables, though I'm no scientist and I can't say for sure if this is true. (Experts say microwaving leaches least.) Anyway, steaming does a good job with vegetables and leaves them toothsome and colorful. The only problems I've had with steamers are their legs are sometimes flimsy and the ring in the center of the steamer (for fishing it out of the pot) is too deep and causes one to burn his fingers when he reaches in to get the hot vegetables. This steamer solves both problems. The legs are sturdy and (here's the best part) the telescoping handle in the center of the steamer allows one to take the hot stuff out of the pot with ease. The telescoping handle retracts so it fits in a four quart pot then, toggle-like, a tap of a finger releases it so it pops up when the veggies are cooked, leaving your hand far from the hot stuff. If you are particularly sensitive to heat, the handle has a slot to fit a fork for extra insulation. Those OXO people are real engineers. Whenever I can't decide which brand I need for a kitchen tool, I just reach for the OXO and I'm never disappointed. I strongly recommend the tea kettle that opens when you tip it, and the vegetable peeler that never gets dull and has a handle that somehow, because it's thick I guess, expedites peeling. This steamer is worth the extra few bucks. I only wish OXO included a "dishwasher safe" notice with the product. Instead, there were no washing instructions. I've been washing by hand--after all, how thoroughly do you have to scrub a steamer?
Description of OXO Good Grips Pop-Up Steamer
Freshly steamed vegetables are a snap with the OXO GOOD GRIPS Pop-Up Steamer. A simple press on the handle pops it up for added length, making it easy and safe to insert and remove the Steamer. Press the handle again to lock it down for compact storage. For extra reach, a fork can be inserted into the handle. The feet on the Steamer fold for storage and open up to 1¾" so plenty of water can be used for steaming. Simply unscrew the handle when the entire basket is needed for steaming large items like fish fillets.Steamers
