I don't really know about steaming meats. I have steamed fish and it came out beautifully. A booklet comes with it. This is an awesome steamer, I've had another model and just switched as the other was worn out, and I love this new one. Fast, and makes the food exactly how you want it... Wouldn't be without this appliance

We steam salmon and it's so so moist. I can put it frozen, from freezer to Steamer, and also put my veggies in another basket and have a whole meal ready. Use it to boil eggs, instead steam them and believe me they turn out perfect. Love this.

I personally don't care for steamed meats. But fish is another story. Fish, depending on the thickness, can take from 10 to 25 minutes and comes out moist and tasty. If you really want to do meats, though, I'd recommend marinating them first.

Hi Nancy, I'm Joe. Believe it or not we have 2 of these and they're very good for almost anything. For steaming veggies, I put about 2 inches of water, and place a large colander over the pan, put whatever veggies in it, cover with lid and let the steam do its job. I also use it to steam hamburger or hot dog buns. We've had these about 2 years now. What I would suggest is that every time you take get ready to use it put 2 or 3 drops olive oil, swish it around with a paper towel. This will help keep pans non-stick properties. Be sure to keep an eye on the water level. Hope this helps, Joe

use chicken broth instead of water for starters. 2nd day, like stew, tastes better. try adding beef cubes, chicken bits or sausage...

You can steam vegetables while you make rice, by using the vegetable steamer. As for meat...if you mean, "Can I cook meat in the rice", then yes, but consider the size of the meat and the cooking time. I love to do stews and what not in this, using the "slow cook" selection. I also do one pot rice dishes.

I haven't tried any meat or fish, but it works great for fresh vegetables. I usually use water and a little chicken broth in the bottom then shake a little spice on top and they turn out great.

On their website is a link to a pdf with several recipes, including ones with meat and fish. http://sistemaplastics.com/assets/files/Microwave_Information/Steamer__Plate_Recipe_Sheet.pdf

It is also has the flexibility of a slow cooker, or you can steam vegetables or meat with it. Read the included recipe book for ideas.

I put everything together. The only thing you have to make sure of is the time needed to steam each veggie. You might want to steam some separately and then put everything together. Enjoy !

Problem is that sauces or animal fat not real compatible with steaming and can leave gummy residue on some parts which are Spain to cleN- so unless it is very lean as breast white meat w/no skin would not. Potstickers are splendid ( be sure and line bottom of compartment with slits in parchment paper or stick to plastic), and shrimp and fresh veggies and lean fish w/o skin. Good luck!

Yes, You can cook meat in it. There are recipes in the booklet enclosed. I never attempted cooking or pureeing meat though. But the cooking/pureeing component is easily cleaned so cooking (steaming) and then pureeing meat would be just as easy and fruit and veggies.

Go to char boil.com. There is a ton of info out there. I have used mine every weekend since I've owned it . Buy a good thermometer and go by it. Get a bunkbed basket put it in the bottom of the basket if you cook larger cuts of meat keeps cooking more even. Less heat in the bottom. listen, put a ham, a turkey, porkbutt roast, sirloin roast . Or any thing you can imagine. This thing Rocks. I love it . I have also given 2 oil fryers away. P.S try pork butt roast. it will get eaten way before it ever gets pulled. AWESOME. Hoped this helped

put a layer of lettuce or spinach on the bottom of the steamer. it wont change the flavor and allows for easier clean up.

Great recipe, Stephen. Thanks for sharing it. I only added some maple syrup before serving. Not sure if this will make a difference for some people, but I let the oatmeal steam for about 15 minutes after cooking ends. (The "soup" setting takes roughly an hour.) Then I open the cooker and stir well.

hi Ryan. I do.. depends on the veggies, though. potato chunks, broccoli, carrots take longer to steam so if the meat is not frozen and cut into bite size chunks, 5 or 6 minutes works for me (using full power, 1000W microwave).
