Customer Reviews of Richard Simmons Electronic Food Steamer
Customer Rating:  Summary: Stupendous Steamer Comment: 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 fod 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. Customer Rating: Summary: I love it! Comment: I love this steamer! It cooks your food perfectly evertime and keeps it warm with out making it soggy. Anyone looking for a steamer has got to get this one! Customer Rating: Summary: big piece... Comment: Works nicely, pretty fast : 10 to 20 minutes for most vegetables and fishes. I did not use it to cook rice so far. Easy to fill-up during cooking, easy to wash. A very nice feature is the delayed start for the compartments programmed with a shorter cooking time. Every thing is ready at the same time! Pretty large, nice if you cook for a family, a little bit overkill for one or 2 people Customer Rating:  Summary: Good steamer Comment: I steamed several ears of corn in the steamer and they turned out great. I haven't tried the rice yet. I will say the steamer is very large and takes up a lot of space on the counter. There are also too many pieces to wash even if you only use 1 compartment. I liked the idea that you can put different items in and the program with have them finish at the same time. Also, the programming was very simple and easy to use. Overall, if you plan to steam a lot everyday, this is the steamer for you. If you only steam vegetables, consider a smaller unit. Customer Rating: Summary: Better than I expected! Comment: I bought this steamer to replace my outdated one, and I am glad I did! It does everything it claims, and it is just so easy to use. It is big, and having eight people in my house, bigger is better! The steaming compartments really do steam separately and keep different foods totally separated, so no flavors mix. I really like the timer the most. One compartment can be all done and staying warm, while another is still steaming, and a third one can come on and steam whenever you want. Everything can cook for varying amounts of minutes, and still all finish at the same time, just in time for dinner! It is just a great steamer, and I highly recommend it! More Reviews Endorsed by fitness-guru Richard Simmons, this electronic food steamer features three individually controlled steaming compartments, so each food is steamedand ready simultaneously. Use all compartments at once, or only one or two. The middle heater provides 650 watts of power; the left and right heaters deliver 500 watts each. By setting the timer, three types of food can be cooked at different times, but finish all at the same time. Cook eggs, rice, vegetables, fruit, fish, and more. An audible signal indicates when food is ready. Steaming begins 30 seconds from the start time with the "express steam" setting, and each compartment can be set to cook for the same amount of time by using the direct-start function. The unit can also be set to keep food warm for one hour before automatically shutting off. 
Choosing Appliance -> Dishwashers Check the capacity. 'Standard' 60cm wide dishwashers can take 12, 14 or 16 place settings, whilst slimline 45cm models may cater for 7, 8 or 9 place settings. Compact dishwashers tend to be 45 cm wide and can be placed on the worktop or built in, depending on the model. They may take 4, 5 or 6 place settings. Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit. Richard Simmons Electronic Food Steamer
