VonShef Food Steamer Review

The VonShef Food Steamer With 3 Removable Tiers is a stylish three tier steamer with translucent containers. It's highly functional, and is capable of steaming potatoes, carrots, other vegetables, chicken, fish, red meat, rice, and much more. It cooks healthier food, and retains plenty of flavours, colours and nutrients. It has a rapid heat up time - less than 15 seconds.

The steamer has a 60 minute timer, allowing for plenty of time to cook food to your preferred level. It has a large water tank with easy to access inlets on the side. So that you know when to refill, there's a water level indicator on the side. We like the fact that the steamer comes with a rice bowl which is perfect for rice and grain. Tidying up afterwards is made more convenient thanks to dishwasher friendly components.
