Product Price History

Excellent for times of “Food Sensitivity”. 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 arefish, store bought dumplings, root vegetables, ground pork.
works well with lots of room to steam food; timer can’t be adjusted once set. I purchased this steamer after our old vegetable steamer finally bit the dust. My wife and I didn’t need more than a single-tier steamer, but I could not find one anymore, so I purchased this two-tier steamer. The steamer is big and has plenty of room for steaming pretty much anything you like. We use it mainly to steam cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. It’s easy to clean and operate.My only complaint with this steamer is the built-in timer. The timer dial cannot be dialed back if you accidentally turn it beyond your desired time. So, if you do so, the timer cannot be adjusted, and you will have to mentally keep track of when to take out the food while the timer continues to run its course for whatever the set time was. It’s annoying, especially if you’re used to a timer that was specifically designed to be turned past the desired time and then turned back to it like our old steamer was. Also, the numbers on the timer are very small and difficult to read.Overall, if you’re cautious with the timer, this is a very good steamer at a very reasonable price. If it lasts as long as our prior steamer did, it should last a very long time.
Exceeded my expectations! So much fun. Well for years I had a single stage stove top steamer… Which I used daily! I looked for the same brand to make a double decker out of it inexpensively. Then I bought a giant 3 stage steamer which I have not used yet but maybe this summer for a clam bake. So I got two new single stage steamers to have the option of having a double steamer. So, I have that setup with the pan on the stove and the steamers above in the cupboard ready to go into action! Well l I decided to get 2 of these electric steamers and this model exceeded my expectations having used one of them daily since it arrived about a week ago. It’s good looking! It is very light! Easy to clean! The two steamer sections stack up in one configuration for double steaming, yet amazingly nestle inside one another for compact storage. Amazingly it gets hot in about a minute or less, yes! I like appliances that turn themselves off with a timer. The timer is not precise for time critical stuff for example 6 minutes, and while on the counter I have to bend down eye level to see the markings and the lines and numbers are very light so I can’t discern the setting easily. I have this problem on other twist knob timers on my appliances. It would be nice if they had a digital timer slanted on a 45 degree angle so you could set 6 minutes and 13 seconds if you wanted to. I bought several digital outlet timers capable of doing a countdown in one-minute increments and plug into that. Anyway, this thing is so much fun to make broccoli, green beans, asparagus, eggs too! Having a blast experimenting to get perfect food with this steamer!https://www.amazon.com/myTouchSmart-26892-Indoor-Simple-Plug/dp/B014SGCIR4/ref=sr_1_20?crid=25PL3L395FIV8&keywords=ge+timers+for+electrical+outlets&qid=1676059938&sprefix=ge+timeraps160&sr=8-20
DON’T FORGET TO CLEAN EVERY PART EVERY TIME. We steamed a bunch of dumplings and it worked well, though it’s a little tricky to get the correct amount of water into it. Suggest you figure out how much is needed and use a measuring cup to fill without having to look for some invisible max line. Unless you clean the area which holds the steaming water, and clean it completely, it will stop working….which is what happened to us. I’ll look for something easier to clean, if there is anything.
can’t see timer numbers. I love the Bella steamer, I have cooked hard boil eggs, rice and steamed various veggies. I was surprised that the eggs came out perfect–no green, I had to guess where to turn timer couldn’t see the numbers. Other than that, it does what it suppose to do! The price was good also. I recommend it.
Great value. I use this steamer almost every night for dinner! I set a goal to eat healthier and this steamer has made it easy. Throw in any kind of seafood on the bottom level, and any kind of fresh/frozen veggies on the top level and voila: dinner is served!
Fast and Convenient Cooking. This is surprisingly fast and easy to use. This was an upgrade from the more traditional bamboo steamer I’ve always used. The bamboo steamer was a bit small and never quite fit any of the pots I’ve ever owned, so I was always afraid of one or both layers toppling over.This steamer, being it’s own unit, fits perfectly on the base using either 1 or 2 of the steaming trays. You can see the food, see the remaining water level, and add water as needed while cooking. None of this is possible using a bamboo or metal steamer without removing the lid and/or steaming trays from the pot. That convenience alone is what makes me really enjoy this cooker.On top of that, cook times have been way less than using the old bamboo steamer. I think the more secure connection this steamer has, as well as the abundance of holes in both trays eliminating blockages plays a rule in the faster cooking time. Additionally, the size of the trays are perfect for preparing a meal for 5+ people.I am really happy to have finally made this purchase. One I’ve been putting off for years because my bamboo steamer was “good enough”. I never really thought it could be this great though. Would definitely buy again, and definitely recommend.
Best yet. Once again Bella has made an awesome kitchen appliance. Cooks perfectly and the instruction booklets time frames work well. Cleaning was a breeze and it is very durable.
Very Effective Steamer. I recently purchased the Bella Two-Tier Steamer, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. The design of this steamer is not only sleek but also highly functional.The two-tier feature allows me to steam multiple items simultaneously, saving me valuable time in the kitchen. The transparent steaming baskets make it easy to monitor the cooking process, ensuring perfectly cooked vegetables and proteins every time.I appreciate the user-friendly controls, making it simple to adjust the steaming time and temperature. The compact size of the steamer is a bonus, as it doesn’t take up much counter space yet provides ample room for steaming various ingredients.Cleaning is a breeze with the removable and dishwasher-safe components. Overall, the Bella Two-Tier Steamer has become an indispensable addition to my kitchen, making healthy cooking a hassle-free experience. Highly recommended!
Timer dial not good, plastic not glass. The dial on the timer is small black numbers on chrome – unreadable unless you get your eye even with the timer and get the right light on it. I painted the dial white with appliance paint and used a sharpie to mark off the 5-minute marks, so problem solved. It is advertised as coming with glass baskets, but they are in fact plastic. This means putting them in a dishwasher will eventually crack them, which is what happened with our old steamer. So they need to be washed by hand. Actually, I prefer plastic because there is less danger of them shattering if you drop one. There are some bad reviews complaining that water gets all over and things won’t fit. There is a bottom basket and a top basket. If you put the top basket on first, the bottom basket will not fit on top of it. If you just use the top basket and the lid, then water will get all over the place, because the top basket is designed to drain into the smaller bottom basket. If you don’t use the water capture basket, the other baskets won’t fit. If you follow directions, everything fits and there is no water problem. Also, you CAN dial the time backwards, it just takes more pressure on the knob than to go forward, unlike my old steamer. The water addition tray works fine, and the water level indicator works fine and is very convenient. You just have to be careful when adding more water, because you might overflow the water capture basket. We have hard water here, so a couple of teaspoons of white vinegar in the water prevents calcium build up. I give it four stars because after fixing the dial problem, cleaning by hand, and following directions, it works fine.
Lord, yes. Finally! Best way to make dumplings, rice, and veggies! This thing starts up quickly and gets to work! Be careful opening the lid because that steam will hit your arm and it’ll hurt. It’s hot! It’s very compact and fits under my cabinet on the counter. The value is beyond what it is. I’m surprised it doesn’t cost more! I was a little skeptical about the plastic, but it’s sturdy, dishwasher safe, and shows no signs of damage at all! Very happy with this!
Good size, good quality. Great size, great product and great price. Very useful and easy to clean.
Easy to use. Steamer does a good job but owner’s manual doesn’t have very accurate instructions on using. Recommends too much water added to rice to cook. End up with sticky, chunky rice. Unit packs down and is easy to store. Would be nice to have digital control on timer instead of spring winder knob. It does a better job steaming rice than rice cooker I purchased earlier. It should do a good job steaming fish and reheating food. It’s a nice unit If you are looking for a steamer I recommend this one.
Awesome steamer. This thing is great – bought it to replace one I’ve had for years and it works perfectly – easy to use and easy to clean
Food Steamer. I love this product. I’ve only used it for steaming vegetables so far. Does a fantastic job, convenient, well worth the money.
