Product Information

In this article, we’ve listed what we think are the best microwave steamers. We’ve chosen a mixture of vegetable, fish and rice steamers, so there’s something for everyone. Which are the Best Microwave Steamers? 1. Best Microwave Vegetable Steamer: Sistema Medium Steamer

Like other Sistema microwave steamers, the Large Plate comes with “cool” tabs for lifting and removing the steaming tray. This makes it easy remove the food after cooking. Electric steamers are usually more expensive and take up more countertop space. However, they're also easier to use and maintain. Stovetop steamers are cheaper and easier to store, but they can be less convenient, as they require an extra pot or pan for steaming your food. Allstar Amanda Scarlati likes steamer baskets because she can control how hot the food gets on the stovetop. "Having a variety of sizes and easy storage is important," she says.It wasn’t until I was almost 30 that I got my first food steamer and realised the big difference in flavour steaming new potatoes rather than boiling them. We set this to work pretty much immediately out of the box and it cooked our rice to perfection, keeping it piping hot for more than an hour afterwards. This has a timer once there are 10 minutes to go, which counts down. Once it switches to keep-warm, the timer counts up, so you can see how long it is since the cooking programme finished.

Allstar Brenda Venable is a fan of her steamer basket for its flexibility and easy storage. "I like that it's collapsible, so it doesn't take up too much room in the cupboard," she says. This steamer is dishwasher-safe and rust-resistant, so it will hold up for years. If you're considering a steamer basket, like this one, make sure to measure your pots beforehand to ensure it will be compatible with your cookware.

Seasoning – I love my little potatoes in the microwave with salt, pepper, rosemary, and parsley. Very similar to the traditional way they are served in a restaurant. Before steaming, it's important to clean and cut the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking. Some vegetables, such as broccoli and carrots, can be steamed whole or in larger pieces, while others, like green beans and asparagus, should be trimmed and cut into smaller pieces.
