Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker Divided Food Steamer
Customer Review: Great Steamer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned a number of steamers and this is by far the best steamer I've used. I have been using it for quite a few months. (It makes excellent hard boiled eggs.) I've made steamed rice and keep it in the frig. Then when I am ready to steam a meal, I put some of the rice into a pyrex cup, veggies, and shrimp in the steamer at the same time. I add fresh or dried herbs to the herb receptacle. I put butter and seasoning in a small pyrex dish on top of the steamer to melt while the food steams. In about twenty minutes I have a fine, healthy meal. That is only one of many options for using the steamer. I would highly recommend it for its versatility. A healthy way to go - and the food is delicious!Customer Review: I love this little steamer!

I bought the Black & Decker Flavor Scenter Steamer Plus about a year ago, to use when my boyfriend and I visit the USA. I didn't want to spend a lot, and so bought the cheapest one I could find at Supertarget. I forget what I paid, but it was less than $20.00 at the time.
It is so easy to use and clean, and just the right size for one or two people.
I must admit that I haven't used it to steam rice, so this review is based on steaming vegetables only. However, I use it every day when I am over here and the vegetables taste great.
For a compact, no-fuss little steamer, this one comes highly recommended.
Customer Review: Flavor Center More than a Gimmick!

I absolutely agree that this should be a gift idea on everyone's shower/wedding/birthday lists. Just wanted to add that I consider the flavor steamer essential -- it's anything but a gimmick. People can never figure out how I added bay leaf flavor to my asparagus, or thyme flavor to the green beans. It's a clever way to add some variety to vegetables, especially if kids are eating them (but don't want to see any spices and herbs on the veggies themselves). Also, I can add something to the water (like wine), put one flavor in the steamer screen, and add another spice or herb to the bowl with the veggies. Creates nice complex layers of flavor.Customer Review: Great gizmo

This little item is great.
I cook a lot of rice so I though why not get a rice cooker? Turns out, I steam just about everything now. I am still trying to perfect the flavoring part and trying to find a good steamer book. But for the most part I love this rice cooker.
The instruction book tells you how much water and time to use for just about anything you'd want to have steamed, from vegetable to rice to meats.
And the price is really great too. When I was first looking at steamers, I though I'd have to spend close to $100 to get a decent one. Well no! $30.. How nice?

Summary: 5 Stars
Highly recommend this the Black & Decker Steamer. It's a vital part my kitchen rendering perfectly cooked carrots, broccolli and other favorite vegetables. Its been very reliable and rugid. Over the years I owned two of them, they eventually wear out or you find a way to break it like me.
The negative review that slamed about an electrical problem seems very far fetched to me, I tossed mine around quite a bit and it never had any issues of any kind. I've always got my $29 out of it. Its simple to use and does a great job, you can't go wrong, I highly recommend it !
