What customers say about "Functions"
Hamilton Beach 37530A Digital Food Steamer
- The timer and automatic "keep warm" (fantastic feature I'll never burn the rice again) make it a breeze.
- At the end of the steam cycle, the unit began timing for the one-hour keep warm setting, which it does automatically.
- I absolutely love the delay function, just set the cooking time and then press the delay button. You can set it for a minimum of 30 minutes up to 24 hours maximum
- The only problem is that the alarm for water is not strong
Oster CKSTSTMD5-W-015 5-Quart Food Steamer
- The timer settings are small, hidden, and confusing.
- I got this for cooking baby food. It has timer, just put water and food inside.
- Simple to use and gets the job done. Timer makes it easy to not over steam veggies.
- It works great with the timer. Just seem not able to get the plastic clean to clear.
- The steamer has no setting for control of steam: all or nothing.

- The plastic containers are dishwasher safe. I run water over the bottom and let it dry completely before using again.
- It washes well on the top rack of the dishwasher. I’ve steamed fish and vegetables and both turned out well.
- I am afraid the plastic dishes are going to crack, they are kind of flimsy. They clean up well in the dishwasher.
