Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker HS2776 Double-Decker Flavor-Scenter Steamer Deluxe Food Steamer
Customer Review: Nearly Useless
Summary: 1 Stars
This cooking appliance is the first I've purchased with NO cooking guide or recipe booklet. The micro-print guide for vegetables on the back of the unit is not enough information to make me keep it. How much water should be added to rice in the rice bowl? Same as stove-top cooking, or less, because of the steam? What about brown rice, or pasta, or, as the instruction booklet suggests, poultry or meat? The instructions direct the user to "fill the water reservoir...to the appropriate line" with no advice about which fill line is appropriate.
I'm not willing to waste food or ruin meals with trial-and-error. I'm returning the product today.
Customer Review: NO Cooking Chart
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been all over the internet looking for the cooking time chart that is supposed to go with this product.
The download manuals at the Black&Decker website only has the USE and CARE manual...NOT the Cooking Time Charts. This is a problem that MANY buyers have encountered. A device that sits on the counter with no cooking time chart, is not likely to be used very often--especially for a variety of rices. Otherwise, it works, but it's slow. There is a small chart on the back of the unit that doesn't list rice or other foods besides basic vegetables. Had I known this, I wouldn't have bought it.
Customer Review: Leaves plastic taste in food
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this steamer based on all the rave reviews. What in the world? This steamer leaves a horrible plastic taste in everything I have cooked in it. I have tried it over and over again hoping the taste would go away but I have given up after many ruined meals. My hopefulness and persistence has taken me beyond the 30 day return policy so now I will just have to throw it away. I really can not understand how other reviewers have not experienced this problem.Customer Review: DOES NOT WORK!
Summary: 1 Stars
