I will be honest I only bought my steamer 3 days ago but what a buy! I had never been interested before because I hardly ever eat vegetables (too much fuss) I was nosing through my argots catalogue where it had a whole page dedicated to steamers and how healthy they were, my gran had also gone on about how great it was and me being a sucker for gadgets and healthy ways of eating I thought ill give it a try. I bought the silver one which was a little ...

Advantages: Food has more flavour
Disadvantages: Rice takes a long time to cook.

This is a great product. I never thought that a steamer could make that much difference to your food.

Disadvantages: none

We use our Tefal Steamer daily, after having it in the cupboard for months! I decided to go 'healthy' and now wish I had unpacked it sooner. It is very easy to use, the trays stack on top of eachother in numerical order, for cooking ( they are numbered) and sit inside eachother in reverse order for easy storage.

...clip in and out of the oval shaped container which makes cleaning a breeze. A handle is supplied to slip into the top basket for easy removal and the lid turns upside down as a serving dish, although due to the steam produced I haven't used the handle because I burnt myself trying to hook it into the tray. The front of the steamer has a 60 minute timer, an on/off light and a list of food items with cooking times, which means you don't have to hunt ... Read review
