Overview
Three stackable 9.6 quart baskets and an 800W element make up this electric food steamer, which adds a 60 minute timer and boil-dry protection.
The category and spec sheet agree here: this is a straightforward multi-tier steamer, not a specialty appliance. The three trays and drip tray are dishwasher safe, and a side water inlet lets you top up water mid-cycle without opening the steaming compartment. Boil-dry protection shuts off heating automatically if the water runs low.
- 9.6 QT total capacity across 3 tiers
- 800W with turbo steam function
- 0-60 minute timer
- BPA-free, dishwasher-safe trays
Who it's for
Suits anyone cooking multiple foods simultaneously without separate pots, especially for steaming vegetables and proteins together for a meal. Not meant to replace a rice cooker or slow cooker for single-vessel dishes that need longer unattended cooking.
