Manufacturer's Description
Steaming is one of the healthiest ways to cook food and has the added benefits of retaining valuable nutrients, flavour and the colour of food. As a convenient and versatile alternative to saucepan steaming, the Russell Hobbs Classic White Food Steamer has been introduced to the Classic White range of kitchen appliances and will quickly steam rice, vegetables, and seafood easily and efficiently to give you perfect results every time.

The Russell Hobbs Classic White Food Steamer, has a 9 litre capacity and includes three basket layers (with side handles) and a separate rice bowl. All are removable for easy cleaning and stackable for easy storage.

When steaming larger items, all the baskets have removable bases, allowing whole chickens and other bulky items to be steamed to perfection. For convenience, each base can be unclipped and added to the other baskets, creating a larger cooking area.

Should you ever need to top-up the steamer with water whilst in use, this can be done at the opening to the reservoir via the base unit handles, enabling you to steam for longer periods. A sixty-minute timer with auto switch-off and useful timer bell, allows recipes to be pre-set for precision cooking.

A separate juice collector fits into the base and collects the juices from the food, which is being steamed. These can be used in sauces, gravy, etc and a handy removable divider is included to allow different foods to be steamed in the same basket.

The Russell Hobbs Classic White Food Steamer includes an easy to read steaming guide for ease of use and also includes a cord-storage facility and neon indicator light.

Customer Reviews

Simple and makes fantastic food!
I can't stop using this since I bought it... It's so easy to use, and cooks quickly and very thoroughly. Plastic but sturdy, and with lots of room for larger meals.

The unit comes with a useful short guide, which is written in a refreshingly quirky style! Surprising but welcome; it made me laugh and set me in the right direction!

Full steam ahead
I recently purchased the steamer as a result of my new year health kick, keep the goodness in the veg and all that. But it has now become an essential item in the kitchen. It is so easy to use, just set it away and wait for the bell, the food tastes great and cleaning is easy too. As I bought it in the sale price it was so good for the money Ive just bought my mum one.

Great Value
This steamer works really well. I used it for the first time on boxing day. I found cooking took longer than the times recommended but we were cooking for six so it might of been the amount making it take longer.

The taste from the steamed vegetables was great! I will be using it all the time now and am looking forward to trying rice and fish.
