Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019
The only real limitation it has is that its maximum capacity is about two cups (480 ml) - cup and a half (360 ml) for safety. I really thought about giving it a fifth star, and finally did. It works perfectly. That I initially got one that turned out not to be big enough is not the fault of the product, but the purchaser.
That small size is sometimes an issue. Cod and salmon fillets don't easily fit into this green one; we bought a larger black one to accommodate them, as well as to have a second available for larger servings of veggies.
It works very well for steaming stale bakery goods back to life, and reheating deli stuff, as well.
In short, I can't say enough positive things about the concept of a silicon microwaveable steamer. Unlike a rice steamer, it's not necessary to guess the water amount for a short steaming time; just set the desired time on your micro. This little device has even replaced the legendary brown paper bag I used to steam broccoli in.
If you are single, this is a great buy. If you cook for two or more, it still might be, but I think you'd be happier with a bigger one. Fortunately, they're available. If they aren't suggested below, search "Orka."
Get one. You'll like it.
My other big gripe is this: Look at the picture of the steamer. Now notice on the sides, the two recesses where you can grasp the insert to remove it. Well, after steaming, since the holes are covered, the steam is shooting out of those spots once you remove the lid, and removing the insert without burning yourself is a challenge. I usually use a fork or spook to start lifting out one side then can safely remove the insert. Draining before emptying is not an option as it is silicone and I don't want to lose my veggies in the sink. Still not a deal breaker quite like the size. Perfect for one, ok for two, dreadful for four.
