Steamer Reviews

Although most steamers available today are similar in one way or the other. The basics of the steamers goes with the number of compartments, the heat produced water chamber at the lower end and some times even comes with the Rice bowl. Tesco Digital Food Steamer is one such steamer with all the must have features introduced by the brand ‘Tesco’. A brief out line about the appearance of this Food Steamer.

• Three tiered construction
• The body colour of white and the baskets goes transparent along with the lid of blue colour
• The dimension of this model is 307 x 295 x 281 mm.

Capacity: This Tesco 204-5134 Food Steamer model offers an overall capacity of 8.5 litres that is been distributed over the three compartments. It works to cook the vegetables, fish, rice and sometimes the meat in the required tenderness. The overall cooking is done without transferring the aroma to each other and hence the natural flavour is been maintained through out.

Transparent baskets/Lid: The baskets that count in three numbers is highly transparent and they can get easily stackable. The base of the baskets feature removable and there by it provides a large basket to accommodate big foods. It also consists of a lid that fits firmly and it is not transparent. This appliance overall takes an oval shape that has an edge over the circular shaped steamers. The baskets of this appliance are of equal size and although it has the flexibility to change the order of the baskets, it does not allow getting staked one inside the other that is a more compact storage option.

External water fill: Tesco 900 Watts Food, Vegetable, Rice Steamer consists of an external water gauge that is quite safe and functional compared to the otherwise models. This facilitated to follow the amount of water that remains in the chamber and can be filled in when required. Hence, it avoids the steamer from boiling dry.

Controls: The outstanding feature of this Tesco Dishwasher Safe Food Steamer is the digital controls. This is been neatly embedded in the bottom of the appliance with which is sleek and elegant. It consists of a display screen to display the settings. The control buttons are soft touch buttons that allows increasing and decreasing the time set. These digital timers are highly accurate and have a state of art technology.

Other features:

• Handles - The carrying handles are present in each of the compartments to allow easy loading and unloading. The steamer itself consists of the handles that can lift from the bottom during the times it is required to shift places.
• Keep warm – This function maintains the freshness of the cooked food up to an hour after the timer ends or until the opening of the lid which ever comes first.
• Water gauge – The water capacity in the gauge is 1.1 litres and filling it up can be done externally.
• Rice bowl – Available in this Food Steamer is a highly functional rice and pudding bowl.
• Non-slip feet – With the small footprint, the appliance can install in the kitchen tabletop and along with the non-slip feet, the fear of accidental slipping can be avoided.

Verdict:

The juice catches up and the turbo steam is other distinguished features of this model. However, it does not feature with the delay start option, personal settings and boiled dry safety cut off. The energy consumption of Tesco 3-Tiered Food Steamer with 900 Watts is another appealing factor for many.
