Overview
The Secura DZG-A80A1 is an 8.5-quart, 1200W digital food steamer with two stackable stainless steel baskets, a delay-start timer up to 10 hours, and boil-dry protection that shuts the unit off automatically if it runs out of water.
What stands out in owner feedback is the all-stainless construction: everything touching the food and water is steel rather than the plastic used in most steamers at this price, the reason several buyers specifically sought this model out. It generates steam in about 15 seconds per the listing, and switches to a roughly 176F keep-warm mode once cooking finishes.
- 1200W, generates steam in about 15 seconds
- Two stackable stainless steel baskets, 8.5 quart
- Delay start up to 10 hours, keep warm around 176F
- Boil-dry auto shutoff protection
Who it's for
Suits anyone steaming vegetables, seafood, dumplings, or reheating cooked food who wants to avoid plastic in contact with hot food and water. Less ideal if you plan to leave food on keep-warm for long stretches, since a couple of reviewers found food overcooks left too long.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners consistently point to the stainless steel build as the reason they chose it over plastic steamers, and several report years of reliable daily use. The recurring complaint is the plastic lid handle knob, which one buyer had strip and detach entirely after a single use, and a couple of others note the unit switches to warm mode in a way that can overcook food left sitting too long.
