Excellent steamerOct 04, 2008
By Mark Bassett

This is a well made product and a good idea ! The popup handle snugs down with a push so you can put a lid on the pot, then releases back up at a touch so you can lift the steamer without getting your fingers burnt.
The legs are solid, not the flimsy folding type. The basket is extra large, which means it can steam a whole lot in even big 8-qt stew pots, but it doesn't fit in a small 2-qt pot.

 Would be great but pop-handle keeps popping upJan 30, 2010
By Mark Cattelino
I like the design, very rugged and well built. I especially like the sturdy fold-down legs. I also liked the design of the pop-up handle with slot allowing you to lift the hot steamer with a fork. I would give this product 5 stars, like the majority of other reviews except for one big problem. The telescoping spring-loaded handle design permits three handle-height positions: fully down, half-way up and fully extended. The problem is that my handle will not stay down. With a lot of work I can get it to stay half-way down for a short period before it pops fully up on its own. I can rarely get it fully down and then for no more than a couple of seconds. When I get it half-way down, it tends to pop up when it gets hot during steaming and shoots the lid off my pot. I have to fully remove the handle (yes, it's removable) before I can use it for steaming. I don't know if this is just a manufacturing defect in my steamer, but if you have the opportunity, carefully check out the steamer in person before you buy one. I really want to love this steamer.

 Beware of the pop up handleJun 14, 2010
By J. Chung
I bought this without a second thought on the OXO name. I have a dozen or so of their products and am generally happy with the quality. This OXO steamer is definitely an exception to that rule. I use this to steam my baby's food. Basically, I use a steamer 3-4 times a week so it gets used heavily. The 'pop' up handle broke after 4 weeks and it will not stay down in the low position. The handle is spring loaded so it basically useless at this point because i cannot put a lid on top of the pot. I would stay away from this product and go with a more practical steamer.

small for storage; large for steaming large artichokes in a big pot. sturdy and stable. well worth the extra $5 over most other steamer baskets.

Great steamerAug 11, 2009
By Jeff Kraus
The ratings already given to this product are the reason that I purchased it over any other model, and now that I have it in the kitchen, I can easily say that the rating is well earned. This is the first one I've had with a collapsible stem and collapsible legs, reducing the footprint when it's being stored. Of course, the handle is awesome. The compress/release action on it is really smooth and has the feel of a high quality build. The end, built to get at the steamer with a fork instead of burning your fingers, is one of those great "Can't Believe No One Else Thought Of It" ideas.
Two other steamers have been broken in my house in the last few weeks. I'm not even worried about it. It's obvious that this one isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
