Our verdict

A two tier digital steamer that beeps and holds on warm when the timer runs out, sized for vegetables, seafood and chicken for a small household. The listing never states a rice bowl or the maximum timer length.

Overview

Stack the two transparent bowls on the base, fill them with vegetables, seafood or chicken, then set the timer and leave it. When the cycle ends the steamer beeps and switches itself to warm, so the food holds until the rest of the meal is ready.

Two tiers that come apart make it possible to steam a protein below and vegetables above in the same run, and the automatic switch to warm holds the food if you are late back to the kitchen. On the other side, the body is plastic, and while the listing calls it a rice cooker the included components name only the two bowls, so how rice is cooked is unclear.

Who it's for

Made for a counter where dinner is vegetables and a piece of fish or chicken steamed while something else cooks. The beeping timer and warm hold suit a cook who walks away. Someone who wants a rice bowl confirmed in the box, or a metal body, should note the listing gives plastic and two bowls only.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two stackable transparent bowls
  • Beeps then switches to warm
  • Light at four pounds
Cons
  • No rice bowl among included components
  • Timer maximum not listed

Performance notes

Steam rises from the base through the stacked bowls, so whatever is in the lower tier meets the steam first. The timer governs doneness, and the switch to warm stops active cooking while holding heat, so timing the cycle to the slowest item is what gets even results.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Hamilton Beach 37530A cook rice as well as steam vegetables?

The listing names it a steamer and rice cooker, but the included components list only 2 stackable bowls, so no separate rice bowl is confirmed.

Can I steam two foods at once in the Hamilton Beach 37530A?

Yes, the two bowls stack on the base, so one food can go in each tier for the same timed cycle.
