Our verdict

A countertop steamer with a glass pot you can carry to the table and presets that take guesswork out of vegetables, grains and fish. Everything steams in one pot, so foods with different times go in staged rather than together.

Overview

On a kitchen counter where quick weeknight sides matter, steam is generated at the top and driven down over the food in a glass pot. A touchscreen selects the food type or a manual time, a lift-off tank holds the water, and an alert sounds when the cycle ends.

Top-down steaming heats food quickly and evenly, and the glass pot shows progress without lifting the lid and doubles as a serving dish. The limitation is one pot for everything, so foods with different cook times go in one after another, and a delay start only pays off with ingredients safe to leave out.

Who it's for

Aimed at a family kitchen where a side of greens or a batch of grains runs on its own while the main course cooks elsewhere, and at anyone who likes to serve straight from the pot. The delay timer suits a morning setup for dinner. Someone with limited counter depth or a preference for stacked basket steamers should consider another design.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Glass pot doubles as serving dish
  • Presets for common foods plus manual mode
  • Lift-off water tank for easy filling
  • Delay start and keep warm
Cons
  • Everything cooks in one pot
  • Wide footprint on the counter
  • Wattage not listed
  • Heavy listed weight

Performance notes

Steam comes from the top of the unit and flows down over the food, so cooking is even across the pot without a boil beneath it. The water tank size caps a continuous run, so long grain cycles may need a refill. Glass holds heat after the cycle, which is why the keep warm stage works and why the pot is hot to carry.
