Editorial Review:

Amazon.com ReviewIt's less what it includes than what it lacks that makes this Norpro vegetable steamer a cut above your average steamer insert. Without a bothersome center post, there is plenty of unobstructed room to steam entire heads of broccoli or cauliflower or full-length cobs of corn--and finished vegetables are easier to remove with a spoon or a spatula as denser veggies keep steaming. No need to slice carrots or pole beans beforehand--just plop them whole into the basket, which expands from 7 to 10 inches, depending on the size of the pot you set it in.

The three-pronged base provides stability equal to models with center posts, but instead of one central handle there are two ring-style side handles. This is another improvement, as you don't need to reach into the middle of the steaming-hot food to remove the basket, and using the side handles supports the basket's shape rather than allowing its 'petals' to pop open flat upon lifting. The heavy-duty waffled segments hold tightly together during use and fold inward for compact storage. --Carol Gnojewski

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Too big...
It's large capacity, but it won't fit in a standard-size cooking pot. I had to use it in my bigger pot which seems rather awkward. Nice quality, and the lack of the center post is actually nice not to have.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An inexpensive, easy way to eat healthier
We wanted to buy a steamer so that we could incorporate more fresh vegetable into our meals. We looked at several options: electric, bamboo, basket and we kept coming back to this one. It's a great price (even better if it's still part of the 4-for-3 deal), it holds enough veggies for our family meals and it's easy to clean. We put it in the bottom of a 4 quart sauce pan, add about a cup of water and the veggies, turn to med high, put on a lid and steam until our desired doneness.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Steamer
I am very happy with the steamer and with the delivery which was very fast. It was just what I expected and wanted.I am very pleased with how it steams vegetables



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - No center post, but a little floppy
The lack of a center post is huge! I can steam a giant globe atrichoke without problems because it doesn't have the center post.

The only drawbacks are that the leaves are a bit floppier than in other steamer inserts that I have met, and the rings can be difficult to get a hand on (especially if you didn't think about it when you put the steamer in the pot, and left the ring under the leaves).
