Excellent steamer
The first time I have used a steamer and it is excellent! I have used it to make sticky rice, steamed fish and vegetables and the flavours are retained really well

Can’t fault this!
When I opened the steamer, I wasn’t sure quite what to expect. This is weighs much lighter than my previous appliance but I cannot fault it. It cooks veggies in just under half an hour and has so much room, it’s fabulous for batch cooking when I freeze meals for when there’s only me eating during the week. It all stores down nicely inside itself and everything is together instead of losing one of the dishes or a lid in the back of a cupboard. I had to top up the water part way through and I love the little drawer on the side, so much easier to pour into than having to dismantle and burn your fingers when it’s full to be able to get more liquid in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this and cannot wait for Christmas dinner to be done all under one lid and save the washing of saucepans.

This electric Tefal steamer is fantastic
As soon as I unboxed it, I was surprised at how much capacity it has, I would say about three times more than the pots we were using. This is great and allows for a greater cooking consistency across all the vegetables because you can spread them out more. I would have no fear doing a Christmas meal for 10 people and feel confident I would have enough capacity for the veg. Considering how much you can fit into this steamer; it really does reduce to a small size when packed away. It can take plenty of water, so I don’t need to top it up mid-cook, it heats up quickly, and the timer is very handy because I can set a timer for my oven and a timer for my veg, then have a glass of wine and relax. Well worth the money, and you can’t go wrong with Tefal.

Easy to use compact steamer
It took me a little while to set up as the instructions were a little vague, in my opinion, but once set up and filled with water I added brocolli, corn on the cob and some diced swede in water using the special dish enclosed. The appliance heated quick and the brocolli and sweetcorn was cooked to perfection. Quite a bit of steam made but overall easy to use and once finished and cleaned stacked small for storage.

Big enough to cook but compact to store
I love that it is big enough to feed the family but compact to store, having a small kitchen smart storage is a bonus. I wish more gadgets were more thoughtfully designed as not everyone has a large kitchen. I can feed the whole family with just the steam of choose to do just veggies/rice etc depending on our meal of choice. I also like that veggies keep there texture.

Quick and compact
Really good item and helps me to quickly make healthy steamed dinners. I have made salmon and sea bass as well as rice and steamed green veg and it has all come out well. Also handy it is more compact to store than other steamers I have used.

Brilliant steamer
Great steamer made cooking Sunday roast a doddle. So much space in the steamer and cooked so much quicker than an on the hob steamer. Vegetables tasted so much better and cooking time was halved. Would reccomend to anyone

Great compact steamer
I'm really impressed with this steamer, it's definitely going to replace the old one I have. It's very compact so doesn't take up much space at all but the capacity is actually huge and I've had no issues cooking for a family of 4. Works exactly as expected, food takes slightly longer than boiling veg but food tastes great when cooked. So far have cooked veg, rice and chicken and looking forward to using it to cook Christmas Dinner

Good product
We used this regularly in our house it was brilliant for steaming veg and you could add extra layers on mid steam if they didn’t need as long. Packs away to a nice compact size. Only downside is it can be a bit flimsy and our dial broke off but other than that it was great.

Excellent versatile steamer
This steamer is great, it doesn't take up much space and it is ideal for a family or for just a couple, as you can use as many or as few compartments to suit your needs. It is excellent value for money., and food has a wonderful flavour

Brill
Really liked this, hard to do a big family meal and was great to see everything steaming away. Definitely recommend, nice and easy to use! Enough compartments for cooking big and small meals. Give it a try

Easy to use
I’d never used a steamer before, but this was a game changer. Very easy to set up and use, and you can steam various different things all at the same time. So convenient! Sunday roasts have never been so good!

Healthy eating
If you want to start eating healthy and prepare three different types of vegetables at once without mixing up the flavours, you need this steamer. Set it up and leave it, so easy to prepare healthy side dishes or snacks for the kids. Cleans up so easy and doesn't take up a lot of space.

Useful
Great product to have in the kitchen. Allows you to steam many vegetables at once without mixing them.
