Aigostar Electric Food Steamer Review

The Aigostar Electric Food Steamer is a sleek, stylish and functional appliance. It has a brushed stainless steel exterior and provides a healthier way of cooking food without using unhealthy fat and oil. It has a classic three tier structure which can be stacked and unstacked as needed, making serving and cleaning simple. Each compartment has a 3 litre capacity, giving a total capacity of 9 litres.

In terms of speed, the Aigostar Electric Food Steamer goes from zero to high-speed steam in about 15 seconds. This is due to its 800W of power and its special steam ring on the base which allows it to accumulate heat rapidly. It also has a 60 minute timer with an automatic shut off feature and an audible ding sound. We like the egg holder which holds eggs firmly in place.

Summary
