It is versatile to many dishes
The only category I dropped one star for is that depending on what you are cooking, cleaning can take a bit of scrubbing. I use it mostly to steam vegetables and chicken. Put cut up potatoes and vegetables in the bottom tier and steam chicken breasts in top tier. Entire meal in one vessel. Comes out great. The pot by itself can be used for almost anything. I am happy with this purchase.

Very nice mid sized steamer with impressive features
I bought this steamer to replace this crap steamer I purchased at my local grocery store a few years ago. It was getting old and I thought I find something nicer. Boy, I tell you, I am glad I stumbled upon this one. After using this for a couple of days, I found that there are a bunch of little things that makes a steamer a joy to use. NOTE: I am Asian and generally use the steamer for 1-2 meals out of the day. Healthy living all the wayPros:-Love love love the thick wide handles. I have a tendency of moving tiers around and just placing the tiers on a plate to serve. The thick wide handles do not get hot and is very easy to carry.-The thick bottom helps bring up the heat very fast and gives out an even steam.- This steamer is perfectly size for me. I cook for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 small children) and this size is perfect for 10-12 evenly spaced XLBs or 1-2 smaller croaker fish that my kids love to eat.-Each tier is individually removable so I can only choose between using 1 or 2 tiers.Cons:-I wish there were an option for more tiers so I can get more done with one cook.-I would like a tier with smaller holes so I can steam rice and smaller foods.Overall I am very pleased with this product and will definitely be recommending it to my friends and family. I will update my review if anything changes in the future.

Good steamer
I would have given this steamer a 4.5 rather than a 4 if the score was available. This one replaces a dual-level steamer that we used for more than 20 years. The old one used thicker steel and was beautifully made. This one is just thick enough, not flimsy, in other words. But the layers don't fit together perfectly. You have to fiddle with them to get them to seat evenly. Otherwise, it works just like a steamer should.

Likely the best steamer I'll ever own
Really nice set! Although, for my needs I overbought, I'll possibly never use both steamers simultaneously. But surely there are lots of people who need to steam more than I do.As a bonus, I've discovered that steaming eggs, as in hard boiled, is the best way I've run across, amid the thousands of opinions and procedures available online and from kinfolk as to how to boil a dang egg.What works for me:Bring water in steamer to a boilThen on power 8 of 10, load a tray with eggs and put on steamer with lidSteam for 12 minutesPlace in cool water for 6 minutes, dribbling cool water meanwhile to keep the bath cool (NO Ice!)Done: peel at your convenience and consume. Never had such eazy peel "boiled" eggs before.

Best steamer ever!
I can honestly say that I love this product and have absolutely no regrets buying it! I originally bought this to steam xiaolongbao, but I realized that it’s versatile and can be used to steam other foods. It’s easy to clean, made of very fine material, and is a great value for its quality. If you need a steamer, this is definitely the one for you!

Just what I expected
I bought this to make Banh boas and tamales. While tamales are a little shorter than I particularly like it works perfectly. I am glad I chose this one. Not to big not too small. I have zero complaints.
