3 / 10 How to choose a good steamer
Power
This figure can vary from 400 to 2000 watts.
It affects the speed and volume of cooking. Do not forget that the lower the power, the slower the cooking, which means that it is unlikely that you will be able to save a lot of money.
Number of baskets
When purchasing a steamer, be sure to pay attention to this parameter. Preferably, the cooking containers should be independent. The more of them, the more dishes you can cook at the same time. At the same time, the quality of cooking in a 4-container steamer is lower than, for example, in a two-container one, since such a simple device is simply not able to accurately calculate the different heating of the zones. The material of execution does not play a big role if it is of high quality. Stainless steel and plastic have both pros and cons.
Which brand of steamer is better?
Now most companies have their offices in China, where household appliances are produced. So the brand in most cases is just a memory of the old glory days of European high-quality production.
Therefore, when purchasing, it is better to focus not on a beautiful inscription on the case, but on customer reviews. Happy shopping!

The steamer is a special kitchen appliance designed to prepare healthy meals from fish, meat, vegetables and other products. Its main advantage is cooking without adding fat. Experts note another important fact - food in a double boiler never burns. Products are processed with steam, thanks to which all useful minerals, vitamins and other elements are preserved in them, and the percentage of animal fats and cholesterol is also significantly reduced.
Rating summary: (hide/show)
How to choose a good steamer?
When choosing a quality steamer, you need to take into account a number of points, if they are not taken into account, then it will not be quite suitable or not at all suitable for a particular hostess.
Chief among these factors are the following:
- Control method: mechanical or electronic. In the first case, the model will cost much less, but the cooking temperature will need to be set manually. Electronic control makes the steamer more expensive, but it has much wider functionality. Usually there is a small display on the body, where the main cooking parameters are indicated;
- Power - mainly ranges from 800 to 2000 watts. This parameter does not affect the quality of cooking, only the speed;
- The volume of the bowl is selected depending on the number of family members - for 3-4 people, a 5-6 liter bowl will be enough;
- What the device is made of - the body and the bowl itself.
In most cases, the case is plastic, however, stainless steel models can also be found. It is best if the lid is transparent - it will be much easier to follow the cooking process. The bowl is made from materials that can withstand high temperatures well; - Design features - it is desirable to give preference to models that have a special funnel that allows you to add water directly during cooking;
- Appliance kit - the more items included, the more expensive the steamer will cost. In the most expensive models, you can find recesses for boiling eggs, jars for storing spices, and so on;
- The presence of additional useful options - fast steam, the possibility of delayed start, additional heating after cooking, timer;
- The company that made the product. It is best to give preference to well-known brands - they will break less often.

6. Philips AVENT SCF870
A multifunctional device that combines the capabilities of not only a steamer, but also a blender. First of all, the products were developed for the preparation of baby food, but adults may well use it for their own needs. The power of the device is not too high - only 400 W, the control is mechanical, the rotary knob rotates easily and smoothly, so you can set the required parameters very accurately. The volume of the water tank is 200 ml, up to 0.
45 ml of liquid or about 800 grams of bulk products is placed in a blender glass. The mass of the product is only 2 kg. The power cord is short - only 70 cm, so you need to place the steamer in close proximity to the outlet or use extension cords, which is not always convenient. When using the machine as a blender, sensitive vibration must be taken into account.
The top of the evaporator has an opening for the passage of steam. A measuring cup and a spatula for removing cooked food are supplied with the device. The instruction is completely Russified, there is a book of recipes for children's dishes, recommended by 12 pediatricians. The device belongs to the first class of electrical safety. In particular, after the evaporation of all the water from the tank, it will automatically turn off. The installation of the lid and bowl is also made taking into account all safety requirements.

Benefits:
- Extended functionality;
- It can be used to cook food for both small children and adults;

The power consumption of the device is 400 W, the volume of the jug is 400 ml, it is made of high-strength food-grade plastic. It does not form scratches, and it is also not afraid of falling.
