Review: Healthy meals and great for steaming your baby food prior to blending! - The machine itself works so well. I'm finding that a lot of our food cook times are being cut down on and knowing that it's maintaining the nutrients when being steamed is a big plus. I actually love to do rice aroni in this with the rice insert. It's helped me eliminate the need for butter while maintaing it's great taste. I also use this when steaming apple pieces for my daughter (who's 14 months old). I use the rice tray and sprinkle Cinnamon on the apples. Or you could add carrots and sprinkle on a little bit of brown sugar , or do them plain if you want. In the past I'd do this in the microwave and the apples would come out with a bit of a rubber texture and slightly browned. Using the steamer doesn't burn them and they go to mush. I think this would be a GREAT steamer especially for moms who want to make their own baby food. Just cube up what you want to steam put it in for 5 to 10 minutes (I usually do 5) and then put it in your blender or baby bullet. Better than boiling the fruit / veggies and it's in my opinion much faster. You don't have to wait for the water to come to a boil etc. The only thing I wish is that there were some actual recipes included. There are cook times available in their manual but as someone who's never owned a steamer it was hard to get an idea about things. So if you're hoping for ideas I'd buy a steamer cook book to accompany this purchase. Typically if we're doing foods that require different cook times we put the longest on first and set the time until we need to add the next tray. When it's time to add the next tray, I carefully remove the lid and then put the second tier on. It's honestly not a hassle certainly less so then having to be in front of a stove cooking your meals. It's healthier and allows us to cook delicious meals while needing to spend less time in the kitchen. Overall it's been a fantastic buy. It's nice to set your time and go.
Review: 5 Years of Satisfied Use! - I've had this steamer for nearly five years (purchased Feb. '09) and I love it. The first thing I used it for was hard-boiled eggs, because I never get them right on the stove. This steamer cooks them perfectly and makes them easy to shell. NOTE - depending upon the altitude you live at, it will take a bit of trial and error to find out exactly how long to set the steamer for. I steam fish and veggies mostly. It keeps the fish moist, and reduces any fishy taste. I spray the trays generously with PAM to make clean-up easier. With practice, I have learned how long to steam different kinds of fish, and different sized pieces. I no longer live where I can purchase fresh fish. This steamer does a wonderful job on frozen fish, straight out of the freezer. I put most fish in the large tray with the holes in the bottom. More fragile fish, such as sole or thin-sliced flounder, I put in the rice tray, and add some butter and seasoning. .It makes perfect, fluffy rice - no sticking to the bottom of the pan. I stir the rice once in while if I think of it, but if rice is stirred too much it gets sticky. Once again, the times given in the instructions are approximate. It is very important to empty the bottom water reservoir after each use - because steam that condenses on whatever you're steaming runs back down into it. It is easy to clean - I just pour out the water, and then rinse. Sometimes I wipe it out with a soapy sponge first. I make sure some of the clean water also rinses out the "spout" where you can add additional water if you need to during cooking. After the steam cycle is completed, the unit does not shut off - it continues to keep the food hot. This means that it keeps cooking the food, so I find that I have to watch it to make sure that I don't overcook the broccoli (I hate when that happens!). The "HOLD" function makes this steamer ideal for keeping foods warm when entertaining. I can put it out for a buffet supper, or use it to keep things warm when I am putting together a sit-down dinner. It also does a good job keeping scrambled eggs hot, fluffy and moist for brunch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile steamer does a good job
*by D***C on May 8, 2011*

We had a similar style steamer that we used exclusively for rice. It was so nice to be able to put the rice on and forget about it; never over done or dried out. Unfortunately we wore it out and tried using the 'pot-on-the-stove' method with inconsistent results. So we decided to replace the steamer. We purchased an inexpensive rice cooker at WalMart and found it did not work the same way as our former model. This one had one container into which you placed the rice and water and it was cooked over a heating element. The results were not good; following their instructions we had mushy rice that was dried out and browned on the bottom. We experimented with different amounts of water but the results were always the same.....that cooker is now in the basement. We ordered the Oster 5712 because it worked on the same principle as our former steamer which had served us well for at least 15 years. This one has the advantage of a timer so you can set the amount of time you want whatever you are steaming to cook; our other one was dependent upon the amount of water you placed in the base as it would stop cooking when that was used up. That was not a problem because all we ever cooked was rice and we had it down to a science! For our tastes, we find that using 1-1/4 cups of water to 1 cup of rice for 35 minutes produces a finished rice that is cooked through yet not mushy or glommy and the kernels are not stuck together. It doesn't matter how much water you put into the base because the timer is the ultimate boss of the cooking duration. With our former model, 2 cups of water in the base gave us the same results as 35 minutes on this model. We have made hard 'boiled' eggs in this steamer with good results. We also used it for shrimp and were pleased because they were not overdone when following the instructions in the manual, but chances are we will revert to only cooking rice and that is okay with us because we make rice 2-3 times a week, so it will earn its keep. The only down side we found is that you have to be careful when removing the lid to be sure you open it by tipping it toward the front of the machine to allow the steam to escape away from your face and let the hot condensation that has accummulated on the lid run into the base of the unit....also use pot holders because the handles are short which puts your hands too close to the steam. Then it is a little tricky getting the rice bowl out of the larger bowl you have to place it within for it to get the steam; this is also due to the small size of the handles and additionally because of their very close proximity to the outer bowl. That's it, just be careful and you will not have any problems. Also, they tell you NOT to operate it under a cabinet which only makes sense because it gives off steam as it cooks and releases a lot when you open the lid; it is easy to see how that might cause a problem to the bottom of an upper cabinet in time. I would have given this steamer 5 stars except for the inconvenience of opening the lid and getting the rice bowl out of the machine. Not insurmountable but it was not a factor in our first steamer and that is all I have to judge this one by and it therefore falls short in those two areas. All-in-all we are happy with the ease of use and the final results and recommend it as a very good steamer that is versatile and also economical.
