Emerilware VS4001002 9-1/2-Liter Steamer by T-Fal

 (14 customer reviews)

Having purchased (and thoroughly used!) several steamers previously I knew what I wanted and what I did not want. The Emerilware offered metal steaming bowls and a quick, constant steam feature. I found the metal preferable to the common plastic steamer trays since metal is easier to keep clean & doesn't crack and break like the plastic trays do. The unit has a larger "footprint" than other units but I had no problem adapting to it. I found the operating instructions easy & food quality is consistently good. I would recommend this unit to anyone who intends on using a steamer on a regular basis. It holds up!

This is the best steamer I have for 1 reason, it is easy to clean. Every other steamer that I have owned has gotten scum growing in some water spout. This steamer comes completely apart and most everything fits right in the dishwasher. It is very powerful and easily cooks all the veggies I put in there.

I absolutely LOVE this steamer!
You fill the bottom section with water. Place on the drip tray, place on the plastic container and either place your food directly into the plastic container or fill one or both of the metal baskets. Cover, set the timer, and your done!

We love the steamed chicken it makes. My husband who would never touch white meat loves it made in the steamer. My picky, Aspergers, almost 13 year old boy, is devouring the chicken, and I am sticking to my diet! Cut the chicken into strips, place in steamer, set timer for 15 - 30 minutes (depending on the amount of chicken) and you are done!

And then the best of all....it ALL goes in the dishwasher!

The broccoli was the best steamed broccoli I ever tasted. The cauliflower (the only vegetable my son will touch) was incredible. The zucchini's and yellow squash tasted like a treat!

I cannot say enough good about my new toy!

My son just wants to know if he can...Read more
