Russell Hobbs Maxicook 3 Tier Digital Steamer Review

The Russell Hobbs Maxicook 3 Tier Digital Steamer is a modern food steamer with digital controls and a stylish brushed stainless steel finish. It's suitable for meat, vegetables, rice and eggs, with a special rice bowl and integrated egg holders. Steaming is a healthy alternative method of cooking, better retaining flavours, colours and vitamins. It has three tiers and a 10.5 litre capacity for family cooking and entertaining guests.

The Russell Hobbs Maxicook Steamer has a special turbo steam ring which allows it to rapidly generate steam, letting you begin cooking quickly. It also has a delay timer that lets you schedule and plan your meals in advance. We like its large 1.3 litre water tank and the fact that it can be safely filled whilst the steamer is midway through cooking.
