Oster 5712 Electronic 2-Tier 6.1-Quart Food Steamer

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful item
Easy to use. Many uses. Does an excellent job steaming. Easy to clean. Sometimes a little difficult to empty drip tray if full. My only main negative is that there is too much consensation dripiing, which probably doeswn't happen in a bamboo steamer. Other than that, highly recommended. Hard boiling eggs couldn't be easier. Steaming frozen food is a breeze. Steaming sea food works well. Every home should have one.

23 reviews so far, and all 5 stars! This is a great product!
I'm a single 47 year old guy. I'm not a great cook. I've lost 25# (am now down to 168) and am trying to eat better. This makes it easy! No more nuking junk food, or frying food covered in fat, just steam it. No more worries about burning things (the smoke detector used to be my warning that dinner was done). I bought the Oster 5712 last week. I've cooked boiled eggs, frozen chicken breast, Contessa stir fry frozen oriental dinners and frozen fish in it so far. It rocks! Tonight I'm going to cook diced chicken breast and wild rice with seasonings in it and I'm 99.9% sure it will turn out great even though I've never tried it before. This baby makes cooking easy. Cleaning it is also easy. No burnt food on it, just hot water. For cleaning it's almost like is has already been soaking in hot dishwater. Just a bit of soap and spray it off. As far as price vs functionality this thing is a steal! - Joe

OUTSTANDING! But it can be purchased new much cheaper...read on
Outstanding...that is the one word to describe this product, it's reliability, and performance. You'll be cooking everything and anything in this just to try it out. Steaming is IT for the wholesome taste, vitamins, and nutrients foods provide unless you just eat it raw.

Not sure why they include a recipe book...nothing to do with the steamer. They just want you to get the cravings (and the pocket book open) to buy the Bread Maker, the Juicer, the blender, and the entire line of Oster appliances.

Not to be knocking Amazon or any of its merchants, but we have seen (and bought ours) at Target for $29.99 and Lowe's hardware had them for the same price. These are not sale items, this was just their standard price points.

So save yourself $20.00, order it online, no tax, no waiting in line, sometimes they offer free shipping.

Very Satisfied - Great Product
This steamer is a lot better than my old Black & Decker, lighter, easier to clean, and actually costs less than the B & D did 8 years ago! Has many great features but the best thing is you can walk away without worrying about food burning or sticking. This is a healthier alternative and safer to use than a microwave. Easy cleanup too.

Killer Steamer (Rice Steamer)
This thing is great! Steamed fish and rice... I'm in heaven. Target has them for $29.99 but eventhough their tag says, "model #5712" the box says, "model #5715"... same steamer. Well worth the money.
