Tefal 2-Tier Aquatimer Steamer

I bought this product for 3 reasons 1 - I was/am trying to be a bit healthy 2 - I was fed up of washing pans 3 - I had £20 of Argos vouchers burning a hole in my pocket! I found this steamer in Argos on reduced to £14.99 which I thought was quite a good bargain. At the moment they are selling it for £18.99 (the original price is listed at £39.99) so it is still a good deal. When I got it home I unpacked all the bits and I must agree with the other reviewers that it does look a bit cheap and nasty. However I have had mine a while now and use it nearly every day and it is still working and all in one piece so it must be tougher then it ...  Read the complete review

I, like many, seem to have a thing for kitchen gadgets. You buy them, or receive them as gifts, thinking that they're a great idea and then they languish in the back of a cupboard after the first couple of uses never to be seen again. One of the items that I acquired that this happened to was a steamer, but I can now say that it's back out of the cupboard and firmly attached to my kitchen work top in almost daily use. Along came baby and daily portions of fresh vegetables were soon required, cooked without salt and in a way that didn't require constant supervision. After ruining a couple of pans that I simply forgot about on the stove I had to come up with ...  Read the complete review

I purchased my 2-tier, Aquatimer Steamer from a local discount electrical shop and I must admit that I wondered, when I got it home, why I had bought it. It cost just eighteen pounds, so maybe I was tempted by a bargain. I had intended to keep it as a Christmas present for my daughter, but I decided to use. This is the result. The instructions are very simple to follow so off I went. Vegetables peeled and chopped into smallish cubes and thin slices and arranged in the bowl. Water added to base reservoir and timer turned to twenty minutes. The timer shows how much water you need for each time span, so you can't boil it dry. ( Mmmm, at least the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this steamer about a year ago after a friend bought a (different) steamer and recommended I get one. I didn't want to spend a fortune and this was the cheapest one available at the Dixons I went to at the time. Not a very scientific way of making a purchase I know but it's all worked out really well. I absolutely LOVE my steamer. It is quite simply the most useful kitchen appliance I have ever bought. I eat a lot of Indian and Chinese food and my friend's sister had told him that a steamer is fantastic for cooking rice. I know this is pretty common knowledge but I had always assumed that rice out of a rice cooker would be perfect and ...  Read the complete review

When i was told about the steamer bye my friends i thought it would be a good idea as every body talking about them was really giving it a good name. So when i had a few gift vouchers for my birthday for argos i thought why not? So i checked out the prices and mine was only 14.99 so i purchased one. And now understand what the such big deal is. I found its a very good way to eat healthy and a healthy way to cook all your veg and other types of food in and still keeps all that foods goodness in. I use mine as often as i can and find it very easy to clean and easy to use they range anything from around 9.99 to around 29.99. I ...  Read the complete review
