New version of Oster 5711 discontinued but with additional basket

I miss the "instant steam" of the old Oster 4711 with analog timer. My old steamer broke years ago and the newer Oster models weren't as good. Oster 4711 6L Designer Large Steamer & Rice Cooker So good news, this item is almost identical to the old 4711 but with a few improvements: 1) it has THREE (3) baskets instead of two which are nested baskets and fit inside each other; 2) It has an extended pocket in one corner that allows you to add more water for longer vaping sessions without having to remove the baskets; 3) There is a transparent window in the water tank for you to check the amount of steam left. There is also a safety cut-out that will turn off the heating element when the water tank is empty. I like the analog timer. Baskets are made of soft, food-grade plastic, so they settle on your body when heated. This unit has more steam leaks than the old Easter, so longer cook times may require water to soak. The same product graphic with cooking times is printed next to the timer dial, which makes me wonder if this company also made the original Oster 4711. . The "Instant Steam" element inside the tank appears to be identical to my old Auster and I've been using it for a number of years now. Although I rarely use all three levels, sometimes the third level is useful. I actually had a third tier for my old Oster (which I ordered from Oster) so that's a nice feature. The old Oster didn't have any nesting levels either, so this device is also an improvement over the old one. The old 4711 required an o-ring between tiers, which worked well. There was no steam escape, but the levels weren't nested. together they were identical. This block has three levels of nesting that differ from each other. Attention, the new plastic is translucent, not transparent and flexible. When steam hits it, the plastic takes shape, and when it cools in an odd position, it temporarily deforms. . It is BPA safe, not sure if the old Oster 4711 was safe as it was made before the BPA warnings were released. I recommend this ship. I would buy it again. Χ‘Χ‘Χ΄Χ“
