I had a rival electric food steamer(as opposed to a rice cooker) that
worked
perfectly and lasted about 20 years. It was very basic-you put in the
prescribed amount of water and it cooked vegetables etc, perfectly. It had
a
clear plastic dome and heavy plastic bottom. Eventually it literally fell
apart.
After a fair amount of research, I purchased a Deni brand electric food
steamer(the most expensive model they had with a stainless steel base).
It featured a digital timer as well as a three high stack of plastic
baskets.
After about one year and a day, the digital timer has stopped working
properly thus making the unit impossible to use. As you can guess the
warranty was for one year!
Anyway, any advice that you all can provide about quality electric food
steamers would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
P.S. I do have a top of the line rice cooker which can perform some
steaming
functions-but I really like having the electric food steamer for so many
things.
