Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Salton EST7 Richard Simmons' Steam Heat Triple Compartment Food Steamer
Customer Review: Stupendous Steamer
Summary: 5 Stars
This steamer is fantastic. I highly recommend it for those preparing a full meal. If you want to only prepare one small item, you might not want this steamer because it's so large and a lot to clean just for using one compartment of the three.
PROS:
-Cooks entire meals at once.
-All food compartments are done at same time (steamer counts backwards from largest timed item to lowest so that all food is done at same time)
- Food comes out delicous (salmon, yams, hardboiled eggs, all sorts of vegetables, grains, etc.)
- Steamer tray has a flavor well below each unit so that you can enhance the flavor of foods by steaming spices in the appropriate flavor tray.
- You can use one, two, or all three compartments - it's up to you.
CONS:
- Steamer is large (length is size of two square dinner plants side-by-side). This unit is a lot to clean if you are just using one steamer compartment.
- Water indicator shows a lot of condensation. As a result, sometimes you can't tell if there's enough water in the unit during a steamer cycle. If the unit continously beeps at you while it's steaming, put more water in. I found that tipping the unit back and forth slightly will help you see where the water level is.
A steamer is the one kitchen appliance I cannot do without. I have two steamers. One Krups small steamer for steaming oatmeal every morning and then this one. I love this one so much I was thinking of buying another one because this item has been discontinued - just so I have a spare.
This is the best steamer I've ever had. The only exception is that it's so large you might not want to bother steaming just one food item in it--which is why I also have a smaller steamer.
