Updated 26 days ago · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
A basic countertop steamer that doubles as a rice cooker, for anyone who wants vegetables and grains done without watching a pot. The listing is thin, so the power rating and timer details have to come from the manual.

Overview
A small apartment kitchen with one burner free is where this Black+Decker steamer fits: water heats in the base, steam rises through the food in the bowl above, and the same bowl handles rice. Nothing is listed beyond the bowl and the manual, so it is a straightforward two part setup.
Steaming and rice cooking in one appliance is the reason to consider it, with a stainless steel build in place of all plastic. The listing gives almost nothing else: no wattage, no timer length, no tray count, so a buyer who compares those numbers has nothing to go on here.
Who it's for
Simple weeknight meals, a basket of broccoli over the rice, are what this steamer is for. Students and first apartment kitchens with little gear get the most out of it. Cooks feeding a large family at once, or anyone who wants to compare power and timer figures, should choose a steamer with a fuller listing.
Pros and cons
- Steams and cooks rice
- Stainless steel construction
- Wattage, timer and tray count not listed
- Only one bowl supplied
- Weight on listing is unusable
Performance notes
Steam cooking depends on how fast the base boils its water and how the bowl vents, and the listing states neither, so cook times must come from trial and the manual. Rice works because trapped steam and water in the bowl cook the grain through. Capacity sets the batch size, which is modest for a family.

A bowl and an instruction manual are the listed components. Whether that bowl is a dedicated rice insert or the main steaming container is not spelled out.
