About Tefal steamers
The market in steamers, as its known today, was developed when Tefal launched the first electric steamer with clear plastic bowls, in 1997. Eating healthily is now seen as a better way of losing weight than simply counting calories and people are looking into healthier ways to cook their food. Steaming is one of the guaranteed, healthiest ways to cook food and has the added benefits of retaining valuable nutrients, flavour and the colour of food.
 | The Tefal Ultra-Compact steamer features three tiers and contains four food bowls with removable bases for easy cleaning. Its nine kilogram capacity means plenty of space for a variety of foods, as several courses can be steamed at once. Tefal steamers will quickly steam fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, rice and eggs more easily and efficiently, giving a tasty, healthy result every time. The steamer's mechanical 60 minute timer ensures food is never over or under-cooked. |
| Why is Tefal Unique? Tefal continues to lead the way in innovation. Advances such as inter-stackable baskets, which store over the base, make the steamer extremely compact, taking up less space in the kitchen compared to traditional steamers. Perfect for family-sized meals, its large oval basket design allows optimum capacity and conveniently, when steaming larger items, the removable bases allow whole chickens and other larger food items to be steamed to perfection. |  |
With a stylish chrome base and green translucent water tank and bowls this steamer will look great in any kitchen. The steamer is backed by a 12-month warranty, supported by strong domestic guarantees and after sales service.
Tefal
Tefal owes its origins to Frenchman Marc Gré<br><li>goire, an engineer and keen fisherman. Monsieur Gré<br><li>goire wanted the reel on his rod to run more smoothly, and experimented in the 1950s to see if a non-stick coating would work. It did, but it was his wife Collette who made the real breakthrough, suggesting the coating would be more useful in making cookware easier to use and clean. Now, Tefal is the number one name in non-stick products and small appliances, operating in more than 120 countries.Tefal remains committed to making household tasks easier and cooking results better, through a constant flow of new ideas, technology and innovation. Examples of that cutting-edge innovation can be seen in the ActiFry, the AirBake baking range and Tefal's unique Thermospot, which ensures your pans are always the perfect temperature to start cooking.

what a bargain!!It is my first steamer,a bit concern before i bought it, because not really sure if it will work well as described, but now i am very happy for purchasing this steamer, first it looks good, and it is very good for someone have limited space! i cooked vegetables last week, it took only about 15 minutes, it is much better than i cook vegetable in the pan, taste great! and 2 days ago i steamed fish,for less than 15 minutes, i love to cook fish this way, it doesn't lose the natural flavour of the fish.. it is very easy to clean as well, also dishwasher safe, i highly recommend you this product, buy a great product with the great bargain.

I have to feed a family of 6 daily and the amount of vegetables that I need to cook is obviously more than the average family. this steamer is the only one I have found that can do the job...and do it well......the baskets are deep and provide enough room for a good amount of vegetables. It even cooks potatoes and fresh carrots within 50 mins (it has a turbo steam)....something which my other steamers have failed to do....they took over 1hr and 20 mins and still the potatoes weren't done enough to mash.....not so with Tefals little baby.
The compact way this stacks the baskets upside down over the base unit means that it doesn''t take up much cupboard space.
The baskets went through the dishwasher ok too...which is always a bonus!

I bought this steamer in September after an extensive research. One of the most important features for us was that the trays are dishwashable. We were very happy with the steamer, as it is very easy to use and maintain. I cook vegetables in this four to five times a week, and after each time the trays are put into the dishwasher.
However, within a few weeks the handle of the lid started to crack. It got worse and within two months of purchasing, the handle completely came off.
I contacted Amazon but unusually they were unhelpful and did not want to repair or replace it. Even though they have legal obligations under the contract, they wanted the customer to go to the manufacturer. The lady at the customer service at Tefal I spoke to was not keen to 'service' either, and said that they will order a replacement lid once they receive a copy of the receipt. It took a month for it to arrive after I sent the copy, as it was sent from a third party. In the meantime, I was having to lift the lid with a cloth, which is very dangerous. The lid becomes slippery and hot with steam and I have of course burnt my hands a few times.
I have used the new lid for a month now and can see the glue is already weakening. The bottom tray (most frequently used, as you have to put them in a particular order) also has many cracks, one of them serious. I will no doubt be contacting Tefal again in the near future.
The product is meant to be exposed to heat, yet the trays nor the lid are able to withstand it. Given it is marketed as dishwashable and the product being a steamer, the plastic should be thicker and the lid be made in one piece, not two stuck together. Most Tefal steamers seem to have the same design, and I can now see that it is not surprising the handle comes off so easily. I would also have hoped that Tefal (or Amazon for that matter) would be keener to ensure the safety of customers.
It is a product of great ideas, but if you are planning to use it frequently, please be aware what you are letting yourself in for.

Not my favourite steamer
I have had several steamers over the years and this is not my favourite one. Steaming seems to take a lot longer than with the previous models I have had.

Excellent steamer
I've found this to be an excellent product. The removeable bottoms for each dish enables you to steam larger items e.g. a whole cauliflower.
