Steamer Reviews

this a good one. it didn't burn my rice. good value.good buy everyone.

This product is easy to use and never burns my rice. Set it and forget it! Straight forward and durable, plus it looks great in my apartment.

I bought two bamboo steamers--first the Norpro one, and then this one. Side by side, the difference in quality is apparent. The Typhoon one is lovely--all natural materials, very cleanly and precisely put together, with study pieces of bamboo (as opposed to the thin strips that almost all other steamers have) forming the base of each steamer section. The bamboo sides are smooth and sturdy.

The Norpro, by contrast, is rougher, has copper wire fastening the layers of bamboo that comprise the sides together, and is a bit sloppily made. It is not awful, just noticeably not as well made as the Typhoon product.

I'd say the Norpro one is average quality, and is fine if you are just going to use a bamboo steamer once in awhile. If you expect to use your steamer often or plan to keep it for a long time (or just prefer to buy good quality items), the Typhoon is really, I think, a very good choice. I have looked at other brands since, but have not seem one as nice (and, I gave away my Norpro).

Bissell QuickSteamer 2050 Series Powerbrush. I read the reviews and found them very helpful. This machine does what it promises. It is easy to use, cleans up a storm, machine is easy to fill and empty and clean. I am very pleased with Bissell and Amazon.

Very nice steamer - I use it a lot for vegetables like asparagus. One thing I was worried about was whether it would fit in my pots properly, but the graduated ridges work fine with two of my pots. The fact that this one comes with a glass top make it worth the extra money. The only negative is that the handles can get hot, so be careful.

If you love Calphalon and Pasta, this is essential. The pasta insert fits perfectly into the large stock pot so it isn't moving and banging around inside the pot. Water moves VERY freely throughout the holes so you never get stuck-together pasta. No more pouring boiling water into the sink to drain pasta and risk scorching yourself. As usual, it is a high quality, very heavy piece. It also cleans up effortlessly in the dishwaher!

I have purchased many Cuisinart pots and pans over the last 17 years. In the 90's Cuisinart made some cookware in the Pacific rim, (small sauce pans and skillets with a square, not round, hole in handle), it didn't seem to measure up to their usual standards. This stock pot has the same quality and feel as my 1985 starter sets' 9-quart stock pot. I am completely satisfied with my new 16-quart stock pot and the price from Amazon made me feel guiltly for paying so little!

The price may seem a bit high (sale price is a bargain) but this is a quality lobster pot. I've taken it fishing and camping and it survives the trips and cooks up delicious crabs and lobsters every time.

This is the most important and vital kitchen accessary I have ever had. This state of the art pressure cooker is a time saver and food saver. The info from the company is excellent for anyone who likes to cook no matter what your skills are. I didn't know a thing about pressure cookers until I got this one and it has been so easy and safe to use. I was always afraid of the old stories I had heard about some much pressure in them and they would blow up, but this has so many saftey features, even someone with very little knowledge can use this product and get rave reviews about their meal. With their handy little cookbook you can do anything! This product is a miracle and I suggest it for anyone.

This was my first pressure cooker. The instruction book was very clearly written and it made cooking a breeze! It was incredible to have a roast done in under 40 minutes instead of hours. I am very pleased!
