BELLA Two Tier Food Steamer with Stackable Baskets & Removable Base for Fast Simultaneous Cooking - Auto Shutoff & Boil Dry Protection, 7.4 QT, Black

This may be the best present I ever gave myself! With the intent of better health, I decided, at my Dr’s suggestion, to remove the carbs “breading” from some of my faves like chicken, fish, and shrimp. So I bought this Bella steam cooker, and boy! This thing delivered the goods bigtime! Took me all of 3 minutes to fill it with water, season the fish and shrimp with Fish Monger from Fire and Smoke Society and load it up. Set the timer for 20 minutes, and that’s it! The pics are exactly what it cooked, minus the lemon butter for dunking it in. 2 big Cod fillets and 12 ounces of extra large shrimp. All unthawed. Turned out perfect. And it could have held more. It runs very quiet. It does not steam up the entire kitchen. Nothing sticks so it is easy to clean up. Hey, if your looking for an easy way to make healthier dinners, that’s got some restaurant quality to them, you’ve found it! Go ahead. Add it to the cart. You won’t regret it…

This product is the best. It cooks all kinds of vegetables in just a few minutes and they taste super good. I highly recommend it

Had a scheduled surgery involving my mouth and the medical staff warned me I would have some extreme mouth sensitivity to flavors and hard/crunchy textures for a couple weeks. Basically I invested in this thing to help cook foods softer that I knew my mouth could handle and I could control both the seasoning and salt levels. > WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE PURCHASE: Invest in some great seasonings, (Ideally Salt Free) YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF. Flavor God and FitMenCook are my go to brands. > THE GREAT: It works and it works well. Because I was also away from work for a couple weeks, I basically played the game of "DOES IT STEAM?" You will be surprised what you can steam, the freshness of the food. My go to was soft fish and soft vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, sweet potato. I actually enjoyed the natural flavors of the food, without seasoning. However, as my mouth healed I started introducing flavors to keep me interested. It does a great job and steaming ground pork and beef! Great recipe over noodles or rice. THE GOOD: Size is pretty good. You can put enough food in here for more than one person or if you are meal prepping. I also like the double decker compacity to do more than one type of food item at a time. The heating picks up very quickly and your food cooks fast. THE NOT SO GOOD: Theres a small learning curve you will need to get use too. Alot of us know when food is done by look or smell. Since the cook baskets get foggy you cant rely on look unless you want to lift the lid which compromises the heat. (Not a major deal at all). Honestly it was nice playing around with different food variety. There is a guide which tells you how long certain food should cook so you wont go in blind. > My only gripe would be the cooking timer aesthetics. The numbers on the dial are black. They are very hard to see unless you are directly in front of dial or bend down. This is kind of a "set it and forget" type device so this isn't a deal breaker but more of a final design flaw. > OVERALL: Great product to cook with, control your salt intake, eat healthier foods overall. My favorites items are fish, store bought dumplings, root vegetables, ground pork.

Works great!! Really recommend this steamer. Good price and really easy to use. Quick and easy set it and forget it. Great for steaming frozen and fresh vegetables, I was even able to steam a vegetable mix with corn and only lost three kernels of corn in the drip tray. It warms up quickly and maintains heat even after the timer ends.

Easy setup, has a timer, can monitor the water level. Steams very well.

I bought this in the middle of covid quaratine, desperate to have more meal prepped meals and save money and girl when i tell you every home office in america should have these, girl, let me put you on! This friggen thing is super spacious and super easy to clean and you eat cleaner and if your kitchen is already super clean, this is no problem, It is kind of big so you can't have even one dish in the sink it makes it harder to wash, so clean this before or after washing the dishes, bottom line, the food tastes delicios, girl, your vegetables, i just put frozen everything, i have frozen chicken and frozen salmon in the fridge and i put the heavy items at the bottom like the frozen salmon and then to the 2nd and top tier i add a mix of veggies, i freeze all my veggies now, i do need a food processor to chop the veggies first before freezing, but if you can get yourself a cheap but reliable one, that would be the best, or you can be like me, i just go to the frozen isle and get the peas and any frozen food bags and throw them in the freezer, every now and then i stay home for 4 days and i have the healthiest meals at home, i also went to the 99 cents store and bought those meal prep black and grey plastics, and i just add any extra fish or food to those containers. when i tell you that you can eat all day with one cook, so what i do in the morning is i make one cup of tea, one cup of cofee, and oatmeal and two poached eggs, and then i set up the water on the steamer, so as i am eating i am steaming, by the time i am done eating my breakfast, i rest or read a little while and then the house starts smelling like fish and veggies and it motivates you to clean your house, do the laundry, get the house ready for the delicios food, it its super frozen i do two 40 minute sessions on the chicken, that's almost 2 hours in the morning and by the time it's all ready its time for lunch, now i have meal prepped my dinner and ate a delicous fresh lunch. you can also do this on sunday and wednsday nights, even if you don't end up eating it right away, you can throw it back up in the freezer if you're gonna leave town, and eat it out of the microwave later. i mean it's free food at that point.

Have neen using this for two years now. Never experienced a problem. Great amazing and versatile. I have had few appliances in the kitchen besides a mortar and pestle hahaha as realiable. Fits a generous portion of food. Make sure to clean it with vinegar often. So happy!

I had a few "oops" learning how to do 2 things at once plus xtra time for 1 when cooking 2 things..but..I've done much better and how nice it is for making 2 big items for a dinner..salad I can do..lol I love this and still learning..but so easier as I get smarter. Very happy with this purchase!
