Amazon.com Review

Steaming is a high-heat, low-fat method of cooking that ensures great flavor with minimal nutrient loss. A vegetable steamer can also double as a colander; wash vegetables or fruit and set them aside on the steamer to drain during the prep stages of cooking.

The Trudeau stainless steel vegetable steamer has a familiar, blossom-shaped design that folds to look rather like a flying saucer. It sits on three sturdy steel legs that keep the basket out of boiling water during steaming. Most steamer baskets of this type have a small, hard-to-reach handle that makes extricating the steamer from a hot pan difficult. The Trudeau vegetable steamer handle, however, extends up like a plunger providing a broad grip and large oval loop that help keep hands away from scalding steam.

The Trudeau vegetable steamer is made of dishwasher-safe steel and heat-resistant plastic. Allow the tool to dry completely before folding for storage. The steamer is 11 inches across when unfolded, and stands 5-1/2 inches tall with handle fully extended. Trudeau guarantees this product with a five-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. --Garland Withers

I don't know where it is made. My guess is that it may be China. I have already lost one of the covers that protects the metal legs so they do not scratch the coating inside the pot I use for steaming. This does not make it unuseable, but I just have to be crefulwhen I set in the pot. If I knew this may happen before I bought it, I would not have.

As a steamer, it works well.

All of the reviews I read said it was a good product but big. It was too small to fit all of my pots so it was pretty much uselss for me. I just went ahead and bought a nice electric steamer and am glad I did.

Trudeau Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer This product is well made and steams my vegetables well. Other products that I have used in the past were not well made and the leaves for the steamer basket fell apart. Before purchasing this product you should make sure that it fits into your pot because it is larger than other steamer baskets I have used in the past.

Works VERY well. I plan to purchase another one. I have a medium size dutch oven which it fits perfectly. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Perfect Steamer for Large Pot (diameter ~ 10-inches) - Reviewed on 2008-04-17

Super design, but it's BIG - fits a large pot. Perfect for a 5-Quart 'Dutch Oven' - diameter about 10-inches. It's too big for a 3-Quart pot - sad that some people were disappointed that way.

Has rubber/plastic feet - won't scratch pot. Plastic center handle has low specific heat - no worries about burned fingers - also extends 2-inches - better lift stability. Over the years we've had several steamers - this is the best. (Weight: 11-ounces)
