Review: Good portable steamer - Exactly what I was looking for, a small steamer that I can use in the microwave when at work. Easy to use. Water goes in the gray bottom container, vegetables go on the Green colander and the lid sits on top. Steam your veggies or protein and enjoy. I carry raw veggies like potatoes and broccoli everyday, and in a rush I grab some frozen shrimp and head on out (if I forgot to prep my protein the day before). With this, I can still have real food for lunch/ dinner since nothing is open at night but McDonald’s. I work 12 hours shifts, and keep seasoning for steaming in my lunch box too. I purchased this item because ziplock stopped selling the steam bags. However, this container is more cost effective, as I don’t need to purchase steamer bags every few weeks anymore (that is, if they were still being manufactured). I’m able to keep it in the top of my maxcool igloo lunchbox (in the pic). However, it’s a big lunch box. If you have a small lunchbox, you may have a hard time transporting it daily. The pic with the kcup and paper towel on top is to illustrate the general size of the unit. Yes, the green and grey lip do get hot from being in the microwave. The lid also doesn’t snap onto the lower container. However, I’m only using it to steam in the microwave, not transport food in. The unit is easy to clean and thus far I haven’t had any issues with staining. I wash the container out immediately after removing my food. So far I’ve only steamed veggies and shrimp with seasoning; so I only use it for a max of about 6 minutes at a time. A couple of times I’ve had to pop it back in the microwave for a minute or two more (like when steaming sweet potatoes), but still have had no issues with staining and item was easy to clean.
Review: Where has this steamer been all my life? - I love to eat vegetables w every meal but sometimes I don’t have time or energy to pull out the big metal steamer and cook on the stove. It seems like too much of a hassle for just myself and one serving. I just wanted something small, fast and easy. After reading reviews, I went w this Progressive International mini microwave steamer for $10. Some of the reviews said the mini steamer burnt in their microwave but I feel, after using, that this was because they didn’t decrease their microwave’s power level. Not every food needs to be heated at the same power level which is defaulted at high on most. I filled the mini steamer w broccoli and added 5 tbsp of water. I like my veggies soft so I added more water than the recommended 2 tbsp. I have a 1200 watt microwave so I had to adjust the power down. I set it at level 7 out of 10. This was all trial n error which you’ll have to do too the first few times using. I cooked the broccoli for 2 1/2 minutes then checked it. I thought they didn’t look soft enough so I cooked for an additional 1 1/2 minutes. (I probably should’ve tasted instead of eyeballing.) While eating, I noticed a few very tiny brown spots where the microwave was just starting to burn them. It didn’t affect the taste but I think I should’ve only cooked for 3 1/2 minutes total instead of 4. This was my fault. The steamer “handles” weren’t hot when I grabbed them nor did I have an issue w the escaping steam but I’d still be very careful especially for longer microwaved foods. The lid-by design-does not snap onto the bowl. This is to avoid it filling w steam and exploding in the microwave. So I can’t deduct any stars for that detail. It’s not for storage either; Only for steaming! The bowl holds enough vegetables for 1-2 people depending on serving size. It’s perfect for me or for someone to use at work. I appreciate how easy it is to clean too. The parts fit inside each other perfectly for easy storage. The diameter of the inside of the steaming bowl is 5 inches on the top down to 4.75 inches tapering to the bottom. As suggested, I wouldn’t add any oil, sauce, spices, etc to the bowl to avoid possible burning, staining or odors. Make sure to cut bigger pieces into smaller for faster cooking and less likelihood of overcooking or burning. Many people may not know this but carrots often burn in the microwave because of the soil they’re grown in which contains trace minerals (like iron or magnesium) which can create sparks or become arcs when heated by the microwave. This is why so many people complain of their carrots burning. Carrots also have natural sugars that could caramelize and catch fire. Cutting into smaller pieces or cooking at a lower but longer temp may help avoid this issue. Again, I can’t take off any stars for this as it’s just what happens if you don’t take steps to avoid it. Not the products fault at all! All in all, I’m very happy w the steamer and would recommend it to anyone. It’s a very handy kitchen helper. It also makes eating more vegetables very easy w little cleanup. I think the few negative reviews are due to the power level not being adjusted and carrots naturally burning which can be avoided.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I steam veggies, drain and make veggie and eggs in the gray pot underneath?**
A: Been cooking eggs in microwave for 20+ years.

There is a trick to keep eggs from being rubbery. Add about a teaspoon of water in the egg and mix.
Cook about 90 seconds in 700 watt microwave

**Q: Mine did not come with instructions. I mainly bought this to steam veggies, like broccoli, for my son. How long do I microwave for?**
A: I don't think mine did either, it depends on the veggies whether they are fresh or frozen, size and type.  i.e. broccoli cooks faster than cauliflower, so keep that in mind, and your microwave, the more powerful it is the less time it will take. Mine is a 900w and I put about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom maybe a little more for a full spread of Normandy frozen veggies I set for 3-5 minutes then stir veggies and cook for 2 more. It was more trial and error and thankfully I have been cooking long enough to where I didn't ruin the food or the dish. WARNING the lid will be warm but be careful of the steam and boiling hot water on the inside of the lid when you uncover the food.

**Q: What are the dimensions including the height?**
A: The diameter is 6". With handles 7". The height is 3".

**Q: are there BPA's in the plastic?**
A: This item is BPA Free.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 stars!
*by B***Z on February 2, 2026*

I love this thing. It is so much better than the metal steam baskets you out in a saucepan. It’s inexpensive, simple to use, easy to work with after food is steamed, easy to clean and much more visually appealing than the metal steamer.
