Amazon.com Review
It'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

Summary: An inexpensive, easy way to eat healthier 2008-07-23
Comment: 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.

Summary: No center post, but a little floppy 2008-06-16
Comment: 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).

Summary: Great multitasker 2008-02-15
Comment: Since i bought this item i have used it in several different ways. It works good as a steamer as well as a 'cover' to keep things submerged when cooking soups/stocks. Another nice thing about this is that it can fit in most any size pot thanks to the design. It can be opened as little or as much as is needed. Overall a good product.
