What This Steamer is Good For
-
Healthy steaming — Because of stainless‑steel build and steam cooking, it helps retain nutrients, vitamins, and natural taste in food compared with frying.
-
Versatility — You can steam vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, rice (with the rice accessory) — great for everyday meals or healthy cooking.
-
Convenience & ease-of-use — 60‑min timer with auto shut‑off, visible water level and external refill means you don’t need to monitor constantly.
-
Space‑saving / compact storage — Stackable bowls make storage easier, useful if kitchen space is limited (likely relevant in many Malaysian homes).
-
Durability & hygiene — Stainless‑steel parts are longer‑lasting and more hygienic than cheap plastic, and are easier to clean (dishwasher safe).
What to Know / Limitations
-
Not a fully automatic multi‑cook appliance — This is a simple steamer: it doesn’t have “fuzzy logic” or smart cooking adjustments. You set the time manually.
-
No “keep‑warm” or advanced cooking programs — Unlike some multi‑functional cookers, after steaming the unit stops; you need to reheat separately if needed.
-
Capacity is limited to ~6 L across 2 tiers — For very large families or big batches, steam space might be limited; you might need to cook in batches.
-
You need to manage water level — Though it has visible water level and refill option, for long cooking you may need to refill water manually
