Oster Sangerfield 6 Qt Dutch Oven Casserole with Steamer Basket, Stainless Steel

I love this 3 quart steamer. I've never been one to steam food but so far, I've used this for several days and it’s great. The food comes out wonderfully cooked, not overdone (as long as you watch the food) and dinner is done in minutes, not to mention healthier. The steamer is lightweight (a positive if you have arthritis) but don't let that fool you, it cooks great! The steamer basket is deep and it’s the perfect size for one to three portions. I love the amount of space the bottom provides for the water below and don't have to worry about too much or too little water. Being a novice at steaming, I had to go online to learn to basically educated myself about steaming. Depending on what you are preparing, the time consumption is in preparing the foods. After my first use and when I washed it the first time, I found a hint of food stains. That was corrected with a little Soft Scrub and a sponge. After that, I spray a thin film of cooking oil in the steamer basket so that foods don’t stick at first. I also found out that foods should be seasoned (salt, pepper, dry seasonings, liquids, etc.) after they are removed from the steamer.Having read other somewhat negative reviews, I find that it cleans very easily It’s stainless steel and if properly cared for, does not rust and retains its luster. The bottom of the steamer is great for cooking soups or anything else you need a little larger pan than a one quart. The descriptions on the amazon page are spot on. I am so very glad I purchased this 3 qt. steamer. Happy Eating!

Well made. Wanted to start cooking healthier so bought this steamer. Steamed broccoli in about 8 minutes with no issues. No discoloration after first use and cleaned up effortlessly. Look forward to using more. Looks and feels of good quality should last. Held two heads of broccoli with room to spare so seems to be the perfect size.

I was looking for a steamer to make my baby's food, and this one was the best choice. It's perfect for what I need. It's very good quality; I use it almost daily and haven't had any problems. It's easy to wash and very heat-resistant. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Lightweight and steams veggies/shrimp nicely. I would like to see heat-free handles however.

I bought this pot about three years ago after our old steamer fell apart. It has become the favorite cooking pot for our family of four, and we use it nearly every day. It's simple to clean, cooks food evenly, and can be utilized with or without the steaming basket. I highly recommend it!

I like this steamer because the basket holds a lot of food. I appreciate its lightweightness because after it is filled with water for steaming plus the food, I can still comfortably carry it which is important for a petite person. The stainless steel is of good quality so it is lightweight and sturdy. The lid is clear so viewing the steaming food is visible.

The media could not be loaded. I just received it today so I can only write about today's use. The Oster box that it was in was damaged, possibly a return, but it did not appear the pot/steamer had been used. 1st thought out of box and while giving it the initial wash is this steamer is very light, feels very cheap and something seems off on the silver finish like its painted or sprayed on and not stainless, this has me a bit concerned. I hand washed & dried the pot, steamer basket & glass lid and usedit immediatly to steam broccoli, it worked as expected. The pot & steamer baskets handles got extremely hot while on stove so use pot holders, the glass lid's handle remained touchable. I like it well enough so far but with usage I'll be able to give a better review. Its size is good and can fit a good amount inside the steamer basket, I'd think the pot would be usable for cooking soups, stock, etctoo but I litterally needed this forsteaming so Im planning on using just for that. After I used it to steam the broccoli I let it cool completely then hand washed it, the steamer basket washed easily w/no stuck broccoli. The pot also washed easily BUT there were a lot of dots stained into the bottom in outer area of bottom, don't understand why boiling water would cause that in one use and Im thinking this too is a sign of its cheapness.

This is a thing i had been looking for for a long time. Last time i saw this type of product in a store, i didn't think to get it. They've not had a product like this since. it's SO nice, and you can use it like a normal pot!!i should maybe dox one star though, the roundness of it makes it a bit too easy to come off, but when it's full of stuff it's sturdy. So just be careful while it's empty.
