Works very well in small appliances

We're trying to eat healthier and my old steamer was getting dusty, so I started looking for something more than just a rice steamer. The Oster 5712 had some good reviews and the price was pretty decent. I've had it for a few months now and use it very often. He does exactly what is necessary. I steamed veggies in it and it came out great. I also have boiled eggs and it's very easy to make. Some of the downsides are important to note, but that probably wouldn't have stopped me from buying this…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Almost never

Brief on my experience

I have no cooking experience but this is a charming appliance. For the first time in my life I can cook and eat delicious healthy food. The advantage is that it is very easy and quick. I really like it and I wanted you to enjoy it too. It's always nice to spread the good. Be sure to search YouTube for a video showing how to cock things with this steamer. Here is a simple summary: 1- Fill with water. 2- On the first shelf, place food that takes longer to cook (poultry). 3- Add spices and close…

Great for vegetarians

Received my package just in time for dinner yesterday. I'm a widower so I cook. I unpacked the goods (3 minutes - perfectly packed). I washed the plastic parts in hot soapy water, rinsed the parts, filled the base up to the line with water and plugged it in (5 mins). I've scrubbed a large red potato and removed the eyes, peeled some carrots, washed some broccoli, trimmed and washed some mushrooms, washed and halved a large ripe tomato, trimmed the tops off a white onion and took off the first…

Pros
  • Fast delivery
Cons
  • Some difficulties

"Fool me twice, shame on me "

I used to have the same vape and given its terrible performance and short lifespan I would definitely learn to avoid it again. But no, I assumed that the first run with this device was just a fluke and this time it should be different. It was; This block was even worse and started to deteriorate on the sixth use - six! First the right side of the digital display disappeared, leaving you guessing what was being entered for the time. After a few more uses, the power button became unresponsive and

Pros
  • Good for many
Cons
  • Annoying

Healthy eating and great for steaming baby food before mixing!

The machine itself works very well. I have found that the cooking time of many of our dishes is reduced and knowing that the nutrients are retained when steaming is a huge plus. I really like making rice aroni with rice. It has helped me eliminate the need for butter while still retaining its great flavor. I also use it when I steam apple slices for my daughter (who is 14 months old). I use a rice pan and sprinkle the apples with cinnamon. Or you can add carrots and sprinkle with some brown…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

5 years of happy use!

I've been using this steamer for almost five years (bought February 2009) and I love it. The first thing I used it for was hard boiled eggs because I never cook them right on the stove. This steamer cooks them perfectly and makes them easy to clean. A NOTICE. Depending on the altitude you live at, figuring out exactly how long to set your vaper will take a little trial and error. I usually steam fish and vegetables. It keeps the fish moist and reduces any fishy taste. I spray the PAM bowls…

  • Availability
Cons
  • I really don't like it, everything is fine
